The Toronto Raptors seem to be getting a lot more love than previous years. They are getting respect from many analysts and players including Paul Pierce and Kendrick Perkins. And today, it is J.J. Redick showing love for the Raptors as a guest on The Bill Simmons Podcast.
When Bill asks J.J. what is the best team he has faced this season, Redick answers that the Milwaukee Bucks and both LA teams are the best teams he has faced. Yes, he does not mention the Toronto Raptors which makes sense, they don't have a superstar player like the teams mentioned.
