After rattling off four convincing wins in a row sans-Kyle Lowry, it would appear as though the Raptors’ hot streak has fizzled out. Since then, the team has dropped a pair of games against two Eastern Conference rivals: the Philadelphia 76ers and Miami Heat. Granted, the Raptors have played three games in the last four nights, so fatigue may have played a considerable factor in the team’s recent skid.
Nick Nurse’s rotations as of late have also been puzzling. Far too often, we’ll see a lineup with multiple players who can’t shoot, and it halts any offensive flow the team had gathered up to that point.
