Fans are seeing ups and downs in the Raptors' 2025-26 campaign. After a rough 2-4 start in October, they posted a 12-3 record in November, then went on somewhat of an underwhelming 6-8 run in December.
But mind you, there are plenty of uncertainties surrounding the Raptors lately — especially when it comes to Jakob Poeltl’s injury issues, whether the high-cost Immanuel Quickley investment is really paying off, and thought-provoking trade scenarios that could unfold as the deadline approaches.
And while criticism and posing hard-hitting questions is warranted, it’s also important to recognize the Raptors' progress heading into 2026 and a vital second half of the season.
