We’re almost halfway through the 2018-2019 season, and there are currently four teams that appear as competition to the Toronto Raptors: The Indiana Pacers, the Philadelphia 76ers, the Milwaukee Bucks, and the Boston Celtics. The East is particularly stacked at the top of the conference, and the race for the finals seems to be between these 5 teams.
It took seven games for the Lebron James led Cleveland Cavaliers to beat the Indiana Pacers and Boston Celtics last season. The Bucks and Sixers weren’t as impressive in the playoffs although have made tremendous improvements since. It’s possible that the Raptors could face-off against two of these teams come playoff time, three if they don’t start to turn it around soon.
