You’d be forgiven for not yet quite believing in the Toronto Raptors — yes, even with Kawhi Leonard on the team. It’s sometimes just plain hard to accept this franchise as a legitimate contender, even as more minutes pass, and more games end with a win. At a certain point though this unbelieving feeling changes in tone, going from scoffing incredulity to pure amazement. Is... is this really happening?
After a pleasing 112-105 win on Wednesday night over the hapless Minnesota Timberwolves, the Raptors are 5-0. Each win so far this season has been satisfying in its own way.
