Remember back before the NBA All-Star Game? Yeah, me neither. It feels like forever ago.
With all that's transpired in the past 50 days, the Toronto Raptors probably think it was a totally different season altogether. At that time, the team had just traded for Serge Ibaka.

As we suspected, though, Lowry's absence hasn't really mattered.
