The Raptors are a sleeping giant – Inside the misleading 3-4 start

The Raptors are a sleeping giant – Inside the misleading 3-4 start

The Raptors have been a disappointment to some, giving up 139 points on back-to-back games. Much of the frustration has been with Immanuel Quickley and Gradey Dick, but there are some MAJOR Raptor contributors playing below their expected norms… and Toronto is still in most of these games. They’re figuring out how to close games. And through the toughest part of their schedule.

Teams with good chemistry and high team ideals typically don’t drop games they should, so Toronto’s playoff future is looking very bullish. As for how they CAN compete with the New Yorks and Clevelands of the world, there’s enough to suggest they might be one of the darkest of darkhorse contenders in the eastern conference.

00:00 – Toronto is better than you think
04:12 – Shots are more open
12:00 – Ingram stepping up
17:30 – Toronto’s 5 poor performers
27:00 – BI, RJ, Scottie growth
33:00 – Context & Perceptions of Value
36:00 – Buying into lesser roles
41:40 – Raptors one piece away
57:00 – Superchats, Messages & Random thoughts on life

No, this isn’t the 2025 Indiana Pacers or 1999 New York Knicks, but they might be one change away from pushing themselves overboard.
