After another disappointing showing in the postseason the Toronto Raptors are left to answer many important questions in the coming months.

A season filled with so much promise has come to an abrupt end for the Toronto Raptors. LeBron James and the mighty Cavaliers have once again proved to be too much. It will be hard for many fans to remember the Raptors’ regular season success after the way this year concluded.

The Raptors have picked up a bad habit of peaking before the playoffs. Over the course of their last five Playoff appearances, Toronto has made it to the Conference finals once. In this year’s run, Toronto became more of an internet meme than a formidable threat to win it all.

A major goal for the Raptors front office  should be to improve the team’s “shelf life”. You cannot continue to put out a team that breaks down once the postseason comes around. Whether it be a coaching/ personal change, this team needs to find a recipe to survive once the season matters most.

Alas Toronto’s season concludes with more questions than answers.
