Toronto Temperature: The Raptors keep winning, so what’s the problem?

It is decidedly not cool to be tired of being on top in the NBA, but with the Raptors right now it is definitely something we’re getting used to. This is a weird sentiment to share, especially considering the team’s long and storied history of, uh, not being anywhere close to the top. (And yes, I realize mathematically the Bucks are first in the East, but the Raptors have more wins so forget that whole rationalization.)

Anyway, the Raptors just went 3-1 to keep pace with the rest of the league’s up-swinging teams — the Bucks, Nuggets, and sure, some team called the Warriors. Was it disheartening to lose to the Celtics again in Boston? Sure! But it was also nice to see the team come together…
