No it isn't. The Raptors were a legit contender all year, are we talking about the same team?!
What the Raptors were said to have no chance in was winning the title over the Warriors. That changed with injuries. The Raptors will legitimately have no chance at a title next season.
The NBA is not a league where a bubble playoff team could go all the way. Stars mean too much, and 4 or 5 teams have multiple super stars. Not sure why you'd compare the Championship Raptors team that was supposed to be at or close to where they were when they started the finals to this upcoming team.
