The Toronto Raptors have played their first 15 games of the 2017-18 season. Let’s break down some key takeaways from the team so far.

After 15 games, the Toronto Raptors have started off with a record of 10-5. This has them currently sitting at third in the Eastern Conference.

This is a great time to break down some key takeaways from the team’s first 15 games, because a lot of action has gone on within the team. Different players have stepped up, some players have been slacking, and the team as a whole has been able to excel in some aspects.

So far the Raptors have been able to pick up some huge wins this season, with the most impressive being against the Houston Rockets. They were able to go into Houston and pick up a win with a score of 129-113.

Although they have great wins, they have also suffered some bad losses. Most notable is the loss to the Washington Wizards. Not because the Wizards are a bad team, but because this could be a possible playoff matchup.

Now that we have talked about their wins and losses, let’s go into some deeper takeaways.
