Everyone Is Sleeping on the Toronto Raptors
The duel between Cleveland and Boston for the East's top seed is getting a lot of attention, but Toronto's quality play since the All-Star break, sans Kyle Lowry no less, is worth investigating.Remember back before the NBA All-Star Game? Yeah, me neither. It feels like forever ago.
With all that's transpired in the past 50 days, the Toronto Raptors probably think it was a totally different season altogether. At that time, the team had just traded for Serge Ibaka. And since the break, Kyle Lowry has undergone surgery on his wrist, and they've added P.J. Tucker to the fold. They gained two players but lost one of their most valuable ones.
