Over the past three seasons the Toronto Raptors have ruled the Atlantic Division. They won it with a comfortable eight game lead over the Boston Celtics last season, and nine the year before. On the way, Toronto also set a franchise-record by winning 56 games last season as they finished a game behind the Cleveland Cavaliers for the top seed in the East.
