The Toronto Raptors entered Wednesday night’s tilt with the Cleveland Cavaliers five games up on the Boston Celtics for first place in the Eastern Conference and tied for second in the entire NBA with a 53-18 record, but they still aren’t getting the respect they deserve throughout the league.
Despite owning the best home record in the NBA and a 9-1 record over their past 10 games, analysts are still betting on LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers when it comes to who will represent the East in the NBA Finals and one of those analysts is Skip Bayless, who had this to say about the Raps on a recent episode of Undisputed.
Bayless is known for having extremely hot takes on just about every trending topic in sports, so we’re not too shocked that he had all this to say about the Raptors and backed LeBron James and the Cavs as hard as he did. However, the fact that “Toronto is turning back into Toronto” after a controversial loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder is a little much, especially since it was their first loss since February 23.
The Raptors and the Cavs go head-to-head in Cleveland on Wednesday night, but the true test will come in the postseason when the wins matter the most.
