The Toronto Raptors are currently 10-13, sitting a half game back from 7th place in the East, with teams like the Knicks, Hawks and Hornets all ahead of them. It’s been a strange season for the league, but who would’ve predicted a sentence like that before the season started?
Sure, we knew that this Raptors squad wasn’t championship-bound. To have thought otherwise would’ve been pure fantasy. For the Raptors to have even sniffed a return to the NBA Finals, every single thing would’ve had to break right for them and incredibly wrong for every other East contender.
