With Kyle Lowry back and healthy heading into the playoffs, and the Raptors hitting 50 wins and clinching the third seed, the regular season can be declared a resounding success.
Now, let's turn our attention to the playoffs. Earlier in the year, we took a look at some player combinations and lineups to try to determine the best case rotation for the Raptors. Then, of course, the deadline trades happened, which made that mostly moot. And then Lowry went down, so it all got tossed out the window.
The good news is, with Lowry down, we got to see if we could find lineup combinations that would work without him, and we have had the past few games to get a glimpse of Lowry playing with the new guys.
