No love for Raptors, but that's not new, as team looks to make another jump this season Via Mike_Ganter
Vegas sets a win total, the Raptors shrug their collective shoulders and go over that number. Last year it was set at 36.5. The Raptors acknowledged the slight and went out and won 48.
They might not have a lot of name recognition and star power some of the elite teams in the league boast, outside of maybe sophomore Scottie Barnes and Pascal Siakam, but what the Raptors have is a team with a plan. They are a team on the rise again after that abysmal post-Bubble year they spent in Tampa in 2020-21.Article content
Chris Boucher also had a hamstring issue in camp, although he’s back practising now, while guard Malachi Flynn suffered a slight fracture to his cheekbone midway through the pre-season and has not played since.Starting five is healthy. That’s a switch from last year when Siakam missed the first 10 games coming back from off-season shoulder surgery. The team’s defensive identity is already set.
Hernangomez, perhaps even better known for his acting chops after starting in Hustle as Bo Cruz alongside Adam Sandler, has been a nice fit with his new club with his combination of defensive acumen and three-point game. Coaches and teammates alike have praised his ability to mesh with the Raptors philosophies. He’s likely not a big numbers guy but he helps make them better.Article content
