Beijing time on January 5, an NBA regular season ended, the Raptors lost 114-126 to the Celtics. After the game, the Raptors' record came to 1 win and 5 losses, ranking second in the league. As the former championships, it is so pitiful that the team that has become so tragic that everyone is deceived! The only game I won was against the equally big Knicks.
After Leonard left the team last season, the Raptors also won the second place in the Eastern Conference of the regular season, even better than Leonard's performance. However, in the playoffs, the disadvantage of not having superstars still appeared. They were eliminated in the Eastern Conference semifinals and missed the chance to defend their title. Their lineup has further weakened this season. With Ibaka's departure, Siakam's starting performance has fallen again, and the Raptors have finally collapsed and become difficult to find.
After Leonard left, Siakam was regarded as the cornerstone of the team's future. But so far this season, he has only got 16.5+7.8+39.4% performance, this data is even lower than his third grade data, completely matching his 115 million worth. The team's current scoring leader is Van Fleet, who had previously played on the bench, and apart from them, only Lowry is the only one who can make the name of the fans. With such a lineup, it is normal to beat anyone.
won the championship two years ago, it seems to have spent all the Raptors' luck. From the 2019 off-season to the 2020 off-season, the team has four core members who won the championship within one year and left, which is really pitiful. In the offseason of 2019, Leonard joined the Clippers and Green joined the Lakers; in the offseason of 2020, Ibaka joined the Clippers and Gasol joined the Lakers. The most frightening thing is that these four cores are all free to leave, leaving no resources for the team. The Los Angeles duo almost emptied them together. In just over a year, the former championship collapsed!
Toronto is freezing cold, almost never able to retain superstars. In the history of their team, there have been superstars such as Carter, Bosh, DeRozan, and Leonard, but they have almost gone abroad before their peak period. Fortunately, they won the championship in 19 years, so they won't end up in a situation where people and money are empty. Fans who often watch live broadcasts should know that, in fact, Toronto has a very good basketball atmosphere. Their home court is more fanatical than many teams, but unfortunately, they have not waited until their destiny.
