Well the season begins for the Raptors with I believe 11 of the first 15 on the road. They don't have the scoring they did last year to just run and gun for wins. Puts a whole lot of pressure on the defense to be good. They have added defensive minded players but there will have to be a real level of buy in.
Will they be be able to adapt?
I can see them staying in games thanks to better defense and then losing them because they don't have a clutch scorer. But hey it's the East / they have all season to get it right / they will be in the playoff picture for sure unless they implode bigtime.
