The Toronto Raptors visit Orlando, but not for rides at the Magic Kingdom. Instead, they have the task of slowing down this year’s version of the Magic, which is different than last year’s or the one before. This organization has been rebuilding for too long. If they miss the playoffs (an odds-on proposition), it will be their fifth straight year on the outside.
For a team which has had a bunch of lottery selections recently, their lineup sure looks cobbled together. Bismack Biyombo parlayed his brilliant play in the Raptors’ post-season run into a huge contract.
