I am a bit biased when it comes to the Raptors, and it’s not a good thing. They have been good for a while, but never able to make any impact come playoff time. Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan have played really well this year, and Dwane Casey deserves some votes for Coach of the Year. Could this be the year the Raptors finally move out of the first round? We’ll see.
