The Toronto Raptors have started off slow again this season. The team is 4-7 and has lost seven of its last 10 games.
Toronto's last two losses came against came against the Chicago Bulls in a barely-watchable offensive game and the Portland Trailblazers in an overtime thriller that the Raps just couldn't close out.
In case you missed it, here are the highlight packs for the two games.
But the Raptors absolutely destroyed the Utah Jazz. The Jazz are a horrible team. Utah is the frontrunner in the Riggin' for Wiggins Sweepstakes now that the Sixers have proven to be a half-decent basketball team... Somehow.
Philadelphia is sitting second in the East right now at 4-3. Yep, four and three. No East team has really started off hot except for Indiana at 7-0, and they look reeeeeaaaaaally good, mainly because Roy Hibbert has transformed into a defensive beast so far this season. His 4.3 blocks per game is one of the reasons the Pacers have the best defense this season, allowing a "is this number real?" low of 85.3 points per game. The Pacers are scary good this season.
As for the Raptors crushing the Jazz, here are the highlights:
Next up (TONIGHT!), the Raptors are in Houston facing the Rockets... Good luck.
The Toronto Raptors are off to a torrid start....at 2-1. If the season ended today, the Raps would finish in fifth place in the East.
Hansbrough has been a nice boost off the bench, Gay is playing solid, and DeRozan is averaging career-high numbers in scoring, rebounding, and assists.
It's like I've always said: "The season is usually decided within the first three games." Good news for the Raps.
Here's some highlights of the Raptors' most recent win against the Bucks from this past Saturday.
