With their victory over the Charlotte Hornets last night, the Toronto Raptors have now played 41 games, the exact midpoint of the season — which means it’s report card time.
When I did the quarter-season grades, the Raptors weren’t exactly playing great, but they were 11-10 and there was still plenty of hope, especially with Pascal Siakam having just returned from injury.
Now? They’ve gone 7-13 since, have an 18-23 record and they’re clinging to hope by a very thin thread.
Naturally, then, these grades will be much worse than last time out.
