They lost pretty decisively to the Celtics and Sixers.
I think the Raptors are just a good test of whether a team is contending or just competing. If a team doesn’t have good rim protection they’ll just form a layup line. If a team is helpless when their main scorers aren’t able to get good shots then they’ll expose that. But the Raptors aren’t really capable of winning against teams with genuinely good defenses or deep teams with role players who can go off.
