Toronto Raptors 2022-23 Season Review

[Silogical]

I dont see Orlando finishing higher than Toronto but i do see BRK finishing higher unless they blow it up or play Isaac and Derrickson too much. BRK takes 9th Toronto 10th and ORL 11th. PHI being the wildcard as usual.

I really liked the offseason. This team has an identity based on defense + grit. You'll be a thorn in the side of some of the better teams in the league, and I'm sure there'll be a few who dread facing you in the playoffs.

I spoke at length about your team on Chris's podcast, but obviously this is a very strong team defensively with some questions offensively. I think the Raptors are in a large middle tier, as I believe the playoff locks are Miami, Boston, and Detroit as all three of these teams have the top end talent and depth to get through the regular season. I then see a large middle tier:

Chicago (depth concerns but my top team of this tier)
Cleveland (scoring concerns but also top team of this tier)
Atlanta
Toronto
Philly
Brooklyn
Washington

That's 7 teams for 5 spots, not to mention Orlando who could be knocking on the door of the playoffs as well. Two of those teams will be disappointed to not make the playoffs. I don't think Toronto will be one of the two, but it's possible.

Cory Joseph is scoring alot and Okafor is stepping up as the 2nd option. You guys are putting up more points than I thought you would even at 3 games in.

Yeah our vision of a Joseph/Okafor led offense is coming to fruition, and Crabbe/MKG have been solid on that end of the floor as well. If the defense ends up top 5 we should have a chance every game.

Joseph: 22/3/7 w/ 1.3 stls
Okafor: 16/11 w/ 1.7 stls & 1.7 blks

Man, and you are getting Bledsoe/McRae soon too. Looks like a win now movement is in full swing.
