The first half of the 2020-21 NBA season has come to an end, and the Toronto Raptors are in the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference standings after a very turbulent season.
Despite the fact that all of their star players have missed some time due to either injury or the league’s health and safety protocols and their 2-8 start, Nick Nurse has this team right on the edge of the postseason.
This season is unlike any other, the Raptors are still contenders, as the resilience they’ve shown over the last few weeks bodes well for the rest of the campaign.
