The Raptors are playoff bound. And it's about time we embraced the best team in franchise history.
As one of the leading optimists at this site throughout this season, it's been terribly weird putting together the recurring "Why the Playoffs Should Scare You" series over the last couple months. Mainly, the series has been about tempering expectations while maintaining a healthy respect for the factors that could potentially derail the Raptors in the playoffs.
I'm done with the charade. These Raptors have earned the confidence and trust of the fan base with what they've accomplished over the course of the best regular season in team history.
