Yes, the Raptors are essentially locked into the 2-seed. Yes, the Raptors are finally at full strength (concussion-like symptoms notwithstanding). Yes, the Raptors have nothing to play for over these final six games. Despite having three games remaining against possible first round opponents, Toronto can’t even mess with basketball karma to try and get a more favourable playoff match-up (seeds 6-9 are separated by 1.5 games).
All that being said, there are still a lot of questions to answer and NBA news to discuss. The NBA news cycle never stops and this week was no different.
