Raptors fans should know not to get too excited here, but also: Toronto just ripped through two wins against the Milwaukee Bucks, and another against the East-leading Philadelphia 76ers. They also squeezed in a shorthanded, back-to-back win against the listing Timberwolves for good measure — landing them on a 4-0 week. In the big picture, who knows if these wins will even mean anything — or if we’ll even remember them in six months — but right now? My goodness, it feels fantastic to be a Raptors fan.
What’s most encouraging here overall is Toronto’s execution.
