"There are 7 weeks left in the season. How the Toronto Raptors perform over these next 7 weeks could be the difference in landing a franchise-altering player in the draft or "just" a solid starter to grow with Toronto's already solid core."
"Coming out of the All-Star break, the Raptors have not played like a team clamouring for lottery balls. They outplayed Miami for 3 of 4 quarters in regulation and came through in the clutch against Phoenix."
"With 2 of the most difficult opponents (based on current record) on deck to start the week, will the Raptors get back on track and start losing again?"
"Entering the season, I accepted the reality that compiling losses was the best course of action in Toronto's rebuild. However, there were 2 exceptions: I could not root for Boston or Joel Embiid to beat the Raptors."
The Toronto Raptors have 7 weeks remaining in the season, where their performance will be vital for their future. Out of 25 games, only 5 face teams with a winning record. Post-All-Star break, they showed unexpected resilience against Miami and clutch performance against Phoenix. With tough opponents ahead, the dilemma arises: should they continue aiming for high draft picks or strive for victory? Their previous 10-game losing streak against Boston has now ended, adding complexity to their rebuilding phase and fan expectations regarding their success vs. their draft aspirations.
