What initially frightened the Raptors fanbase was the injuries to Serge Ibaka and Kyle Lowry. Both were staples on the team and the bench was dubious at best. Then, lo and behold, Toronto’s bench suddenly found their footing with both core players out and the Raptors ultimately started winning, too.
Now, Lowry and Ibaka are back and the Raptors have dropped four of their last five, with the lone win coming in a one-point affair against the brutal Chicago Bulls. The team has looked out of sorts, discombobulated, and disconnected.
