Last week in this space I broke down the Raptors’ main moves this offseason. Naturally Toronto wasn’t the only team to make changes! The Eastern Conference is going to be a different beast in the 2018-19 season, so let’s take a look at the competition and see what the Raptors are up against.
This week we’ll take a look at what we can expect from the, ahem, lower end of the conference, hitting each team in reverse order. Next week we’ll go a little deeper into the teams that will contend for top playoff seeding.
It’s tough to write teams off before the season even begins, but for these guys, they didn’t have it last year, and I don’t think they have it this year either.
