One of the calling cards of recent, more potent versions of the Raptors was their propensity for beating the tar out of bad teams. Against two thirds of the league, you could count on the Raptors winning while barely breaking a sweat. Man, those were the good times.
Taking care of business is boring by design. For this Raptors team, it’s also been nearly impossible to accomplish.
