Raptors Fall Into Bottom-10 On Defense 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sat Jan 3, 2015 6:45 pm

The Toronto Raptors have struggled defensively since Thanksgiving, ranking 27th in points allowed per 100 possessions in games played since then.


The Raptors are now a bottom-10 defensive team for the entire season.


Last season, the Raptors finished in the top-10 in defensive efficiency.

other than the 2nd quarter, it was a pain to watch them get shredded by speights, thompson and curry... they had no answer for GS.

That is why Wash/Atl is better right now, they play both ends and don't just try to out gun other teams. Raps are a Big away from getting there.
