Sooooooooooo, as it turns out, it’s pretty tough to win games in the NBA when you’re missing 60% of your starting lineup! With OG Anunoby and Khem Birch sitting out the last four games and Gary Trent Jr. missing two, the Raptors continued their slide down the Eastern Conference standings with a 1-3 week against the Indiana Pacers, Boston Celtics and bookended games against the Memphis Grizzlies.
Starting out the week with a win against Memphis in the return of sweet prince Yuta Watanabe was a welcome sign, but the wheels fell all the way off for Toronto as they are now riding a three game losing streak heading into a game against the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks.
