The East’s top contenders, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Boston Celtics are in a state of disarray following the trade of Kyrie Irving and Isaiah Thomas. The Raptors are sitting comfy by betting on the same core and adding some high potential players to the roster.
The Raptors made a disappointing playoff run last year and looked far from the eastern conference finals contenders we saw prior. They struggled with the “Greek freak” led Milwaukee Bucks and fell completely flat against the King’s Cavaliers.
The Raptors prefer to be isolated
As Toronto looks for an answer to why the Raptors have so much success in the regular-season as opposed to the post-season, blame seems to be all over the place.
