With the NBA Finals now underway, and our Toronto Raptors long gone from the Orlando Bubble, I can’t help but wonder: was 2019-20 their best chance to get back to the Finals?
And since they didn’t make it back there, that leads to: Will the Raptors ever make it back to the NBA Finals? And when?
If 2018-19 taught us anything, it’s how difficult it is, and how lucky a franchise like the Raptors (read: Not a warm-weather, big U.S. market, hi Lakers and Heat!) must be, to get to the Finals.
