Raptors are forecast to slip back next season

Here’s a couple of posts from respected sites, one being Basketball Insiders, the other FanSided’s own Hoops Habit. And what do they have in common, you ask? To no one’s surprise, they predict the Toronto Raptors 2016-17 season will be less successful than was 15-16.

Let’s get this cliche out of the way immediately – everyone is entitled to their opinion, particularly when speculating about a sports team’s future. Injuries, bad chemistry or worse luck…anything can happen.

But I want to go on record as saying these assessments are incorrect.
