Toronto Raptors: 7 worst things from the season so far
By Nate Friesen
The Toronto Raptors have had an awesome season, however, it’s been far from perfect. Let’s count down some of the worst things from this Raptors season.
Aside from the terrible tragedies that have affected the NBA as a whole this season, the Toronto Raptors have had their fair share of tough moments. And while this season certainly has had more positives than negatives… today we’re focusing on the negatives.
Raptors fans have been on cloud nine for the last 10-ish months. Not only did they make their first-ever trip to the NBA finals, but they also won an NBA championship. Even after Kawhi Leonard left, the best player in franchise history, it didn’t seem like that big of a deal to Raptors fans because he delivered a championship.
Additionally, this season has been all Raptors fans could ask for and more. All of the Raptors young players are playing the best basketball of their career, Kyle Lowry made his sixth-straight All-Star game and the team set a franchise record with 15 straight wins.
Not only has this season been incredible, but the last seven Raptors seasons have been absolutely amazing. They’ve had seven straight 45-plus win seasons, seven straight playoff appearances, multiple deep playoff runs, and as mentioned, an NBA championship. There has been so much positivity and good times around this Raptors team for far too long, it just feels weird.
With that being said, let’s countdown the seven worst moments from this Toronto Raptors season.
