It’s not often that Toronto Raptors fans have much to complain about. This 2019-2020 NBA season will likely result in their 7th consecutive playoffs appearance, the third-longest active playoff streak in NBA. They have the most recent NBA Championship in their trophy-case. Under Masai Ujiri, they've been one of the most consistent franchises in the league.
Even after losing their beloved superstar, the defending NBA Champions cruised to a 7-2 record to start the season, before Kyle Lowry and Serge Ibaka got injured. However, even those injuries didn't seem to deter the team, as Pascal Siakam put himself amidst the core of the Most Valuable Player debate and had the media galvanized over how he could become the first player in NBA history to win back-to-back Most Improved Player awards.
