The Toronto Raptors play in the hardest division in the Eastern Conference. However, it pales in comparison to the battle that exists in the toughest division in the NBA, the Northwest Division.
From top-to-bottom, this Division is absolutely stacked. Any given team in this division has the chance to win 50+ games, with the Minnesota Timberwolves currently slotted as the worst team in the division.
It’s possible, although admittedly unlikely that the Northwest Division manages to sneak all five teams in the playoffs. Since the league realigned itself into six divisions in 2004, that has never come close to happening.
