What Happened To The Raptors?

[jtoler]

does anyone know? I dont follow the nba closely anymore but know theyd won 50+ games for a number of years and just happened to look at the standings and see they are in 11th place in the eastern conference with teams like the hawks and knicks not only ahead of them, but in playoff bound if the playoffs were to start today. Toronto's roster isnt much different from last year, good for them they just added trent jr., but who is to blame for this year?

Playing your whole season on the road definitely didn't help...

all games away from Toronto? even with no crowd that can’t help

They actually are plus in point differential so some tough luck and also guys missing time. Even though Trent had a huge game Powell was killing it though he was their best scorer.

Paying Siakam like he’s a franchise player was the first mistake. He’s at best a 3rd or 4th best player on a good team. If Siakam is your best player you are not making the playoffs very often. Too many role players play big minutes too. Plus Kawhi has been gone nearly two seasons now.

No Kawhi.

even though I like vanvleet seems they didn’t need to pay him that much either

[jtoler]

No Kawhi.

I hear ya boss but they were 53-19 last year with no kawhi, a higher win percentage without him than with him

Knicks solid at home

All road games will wear ANY team out
