Many online have been making the point that these Raptors, swamped in the midst of a five-game losing streak right now, recall past iterations of the team. Think back, if you dare, to say 2011, or 2005, or even all the way to the late 90s. In those times, the Raptors were quite often severely talent-deficient and could be counted on only to lose games. Sure, there was sometimes a quality player or two around, but overall Toronto could just not get it together.
The difference here, of course, is that the Raptors are a talented team.
