Now that the season has come to an end, I just wanted to say, I am incredibly proud of this team. This season’s successes largely outweighed the shortcomings/failures came with it.
Some of the highlights this season included:
-45+ win season
-Collin Murray-Boyles with an incredible rookie season
-Brandon Ingram playing 70+ games for the first time since his rookie season
-2 players being selected to the All-Star game + Darko coaching Team World
-Raptors 905 bounce back season (Undefeated in the Tip-Off tournament, Winter Showcase Finalists, and return to the Playoffs) and AJ and Alijah got selected to the Next Up game
-CMB and Alijah selected to the Rising Stars game
-Scottie Top-5 finish in DPOY voting, and inevitably selected to an All-Defence team, and could potentially to an All-NBA team as well.
-Jamal and Mamu receiving votes for 6MOTY
-Return to the Playoffs after 4 seasons
-Despite being shorthanded, missing 1 and then eventually 2 starters, they pushed a team that has 4 All-Stars, including a former MVP, last season’s DPOY, to 7 games.
That’s a HUGE step in the right direction for this team. A much improved regular season, and much needed valuable playoff exposure. Couldn’t have asked for a better matchup than the Cavs for a debut playoff experience for this young group.
Whatever moves the front office decides to do this summer, and who they draft at 19, are going to be HUGE in helping the team take the next step towards being contenders again.
Job’s not finished. The best is yet to come. I’m more optimistic about the Toronto raptors than ever after quite some. I’m excited for the future.
Keep your heads up, Raptors family.
❤️🩹💪
