Coming off another impressive season under Dwane Casey, there’s a lot to like about this Toronto Raptors team. Will any of these bold predictions come true before the 2016-17 season is over?
Heading into 2016-17, the Toronto Raptors have been burdened with some heavy expectations after coming within one series of the 2016 NBA Finals. Although there’s some uncertainty after a big offseason loss, there’s no denying this Raptors team is overflowing with talent.
So what can we expect from Toronto this upcoming campaign? No one knows for sure, but I’ve put together some bold predictions to help keep your hopes high.
Realistically, it’s completely feasible for the Raptors to continue their dominant ways. They still have four of their five starters from a year ago, and another year under Dwane Casey likely means more positive progress for the NBA’s only Canadian franchise.
Now let’s remember that these predictions are meant to be bold. They’re meant to push the limits of logic, posing feasible outcomes that may seem unrealistic on the surface. Don’t take it too seriously — it’s only September and there’s still plenty of time before real basketball is even played.
