The 2017-18 season will be a season many Raptors fans will never forget. So many great things were accomplished this year that should be credited to president Masai Ujiri keeping the team’s core together, the players’ growth, and of course, the “culture reset.” Factored all together and this year’s Raptors were the best team in franchise history.
Being the No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference, winning 34 games at home and 25 on the road, winning a total of 59 games — folks, all these were a first for Toronto. Then there are the other outstanding moments such as taking home the Atlantic Division title, ranking top-3 in offense and top-5 in defense in the league, Dwane Casey coaching the East All-Stars, and to top it all of, the Bench Mob.
