Toronto Raptors 106-112 Cleveland Cavaliers: 5 Talking Points 

#1 Same old Raptors

Serge Ibaka and OG Anunoby

As much as I would like to buy into the Raptors, I just can't. Yes, they've boasted a top 5 offense and defense for much of the year, but they just don't seem to get it done when it counts most.

They have now lost the season series to Cleveland and are already down 2-1 to the Celtics heading into their encounter tomorrow. To make matters worse, both of their losses have come with Kyrie Irving out for the Celtics.

Home court advantage is going to be very important for Toronto come playoff time and they could potentially lose it with Indiana and Miami left on the schedule after Boston. Worryingly for Casey, the Raptors are faltering down the stretch.

An 11 game-winning run at the beginning of March has been followed up by going 3-5 in their last 8 games with all 3 wins against teams which would miss the playoffs as of today.

The last 2 games have once again revealed the same old problems that Toronto has and should they lose to an undermanned Boston again tomorrow, there would be no doubt left in anyone's mind that it's the same old same old.
