The honeymoon period is officially over, Raptors fans. Just about one-month removed from the OG Anunoby trade and somehow only a week-plus since trading Pascal Siakam, the Raptors, after starting out 3-1 post-deal, have scuffled out to a 4-8 record with their new pieces onboard.
While the cupboard has been refreshed, an injury to Jakob Poeltl highlighted how little margin this team had if it wanted to actually win some games — illustrated by sputtering to a 1-7 record with Jakob on the shelf.
Now, with Immanuel Quickley joining the walking wounded, the margins are even smaller, especially when you consider their opponent for tonight’s matchup.
