When all is said and done in the NBA, it comes down to the best team from each conference - the East and the West - battling it out for supremacy and the right to call themselves the NBA champions. It's a long and arduous process, and along the way, each team will match up against the best of the best. Last year, the Toronto Raptors were the best of the best.
This season, they're still competing with the best, but the results aren't necessarily in their favour. Sure, the Raptors are fourth in the Eastern Conference with an overall record of 25-14, but their record against top opponents has been, shall we say, particularly lackluster.
