How about those Raptors last night? Back to .500 and only need to play the Celtics twice and the Bucks in the next 4 games. Easy.
It's a great time to catch the Bucks. The Raptors' athletic all-wings lineup seems to give good teams a lot of trouble.

I think their play style is significantly better. Faster, more ball movement, less iso. I like their new coach. I think Nurse is a good fit in Philly too with the players they have. I think his system needs a superstar.

It'll be interesting to see how they fare against the Celtics. If they can be effective on both sides of the ball, I'll start considering them as a legit challenger.

They are still likely a play in tournament team but I like the direction they are moving. Schroder has been a great addition too. Playing really well. I always liked him with the Lakers. Every time I watched their games last year he was doing good things coming off the bench.

Barnes has been playing great so far this year too. I think he's averaging 21 points and 10 rebounds so far. Time to replace Siakam as the Raptor's best player. Not that I don't like Siakam, but his clutch game is not there.

Someone has been paying attention. Totally agree.

As a life long basketball fans from the North, I've always paid attention to and cheered on the Raptors.
