Toronto isn't getting past the 2nd rd. Derozan hijacks far too many possessions and converts them at inefficient rates. They have no rim protectors. Their best player shoots 41% from the field, is only 6 ft tall, and plays at the most loaded position in the NBA. Their coach is average at best.

To your first point, I completely agree. They were playing better when the offense ran through Lowry. And the second point is one that I commented on early. Amir Johnson/Patrick Patterson can't put together a string of even decent games. Johnson in particular is abysmal as a rim protector.

Valanciunas isn't bad but his ceiling isn't enough to make up for the PF situation.

You nailed it. Lowry is in a huge slump right now, despite starting in the All-Star game. The Raptors had an awesome start, but now they have the record of like the 7 seed in the West or something.
