The Toronto Raptors’ next opportunity to extend their team-record home win streak tips off at suppertime on Sunday, as the Houston Rockets are in town. In stark contrast to the pleasant surprise the Portland Trail Blazers have provided their fans, the Rox have been a massive disappointment. Last year’s Houston squad finished 56-26; this year’s confused version is currently one game under .500, and barely clinging to the Western Conference’s final playoff spot. They might be better off missing the post-season entirely; that way they won’t have to face the Golden State Warriors in a first round mismatch and will participate in the draft lottery.
