The Toronto Raptors stood pat at the deadline. If you need help getting over it, just do what I do and imagine the Raptors Mascot standing on Patrick Patterson's shoulders whenever anyone says the words 'The Raptors stood pat'. It's delightful.
Toronto hasn't beaten Chicago this season, and looks to kick off their stretch run with a victory on the road over the banged-up and slumping Bulls, who lost nine of their last twelve games heading into the All-Star break. They dropped six of their final seven, including back to back blowouts by Eastern Conference rivals Atlanta and Charlotte right before the break.
