Several reasons could explain why the Toronto Raptors are mediocre to this point of the season. They lost last night to the Milwaukee Bucks, who are third in the Eastern Conference, 115-108. The Raptors need to leapfrog the New York Knicks, Chicago Bulls, and Orlando Magic in the standings to be considered a playoff team, which is looking less likely by the day.
We have heard the cries that Pascal Siakam may have hit his potential ceiling and is not a superstar compared to former Raptor Kawhi Leonard.
