The Rap-Up: Wrapping up the first quarter of the season

We’re already a quarter of the way through the season. As the Raptors slowly get more bodies back, this week presents an interesting mix of opponents and challenges.

It feels like yesterday when we were all excited to get this NBA season started.

Scottie Barnes was going to continue his meteoric rise up the Toronto Raptors’ franchise scoring chart (trademark Chris Walder). Precious Achiuwa was a trendy pick for Sixth Man of the Year. Toronto would struggle offensively but that would be negated by a top-5 defense.

As we hit the quarter-season mark (yes, already), it’s safe to say that none of those have happened for the Raptors.
