There are 7 weeks left in the season. How the Toronto Raptors perform over these next 7 weeks could be the difference in landing a franchise-altering player in the draft or “just” a solid starter to grow with Toronto’s already solid core.
At the risk of starting each remaining Rap-Up with the same introduction: this is one of the most important weeks of the season!
Of the 25 remaining games, only 5(!) are against teams currently above .500. That number drops to 3 after Wednesday!
Coming out of the All-Star break, the Raptors have not played like a team clamouring for lottery balls.
