If you come at the king, you best not miss. That’s the way the Toronto Raptors see it this season, at least. First-time defending champions, the Raptors will have to do everything in their power to go down swinging this season but, ultimately, the title of NBA champions could be changing hands at the conclusion of the 2019-20 season.
For the first time in a long time, parity is restored in the NBA as there are now more teams competing on a level playing field than ever before, maybe. Whether the Toronto Raptors find themselves firmly entrenched in the hunt for a second title remains unknown, but there are definitely avenues for which it can happen.
