The Toronto Raptors Can't Go On Like This

The Toronto Raptors can't go on like this. The Nba season is at a halfway point and that is evident by the fact that this weekend is the All-star break I think it's safe to say that the raptors are a disappointment even though it brings me no joy or pleasure to say that but the truth is in the details, 59 games into the season the Toronto Raptors find themselves in the 10th spot in the eastern conference and if the season were to end today they would be a play-in team, and that's just a fancier way of saying the raptors are a middle-of-the-pack team and they find themselves in a place where no team wants to be and that is no man's land. a place in which a team is not terrible enough to be a lottery pick team but simultaneously they aren't good enough to make an impact in the playoffs don't get it twisted even if they make the playoffs via the play-in tournament, they still suck, but why do they suck? well, I think it is a complicated answer but it boils down to these key issues. number one the raptors don't have a legitimate number one player on their team, now I can already hear the rabid raptors fans screaming "what about Pascal Siakam"? Pascal Siakam as much as we all love him and as good as he is, he is not a number one player. He is a number two masquerading as a number one. And there are a lot of guys in the NBA that are doing this but one name that comes to mind that I can compare Pascal Siakam to is Anthony Davis when he was in New Orleans, when you look at Anthony's time in New Orleans and ask what did he accomplish you realize that he didn't really do much. it wasn't until he went to LA that he won a championship, also Karl Anthony Towns is another guy that is number two but trying to be number one and that is exactly what Pascal Siakam is. Number two is that Masai Ujiri didn't make any moves in the offseason to make the roster better even though Kevin Durant was on the market he didn't do anything. Number Three Scottie Barnes is not the player he is going to be yet, he hasn't matured.
