The Toronto Raptors have wrapped up their 2024-2025 season with a sense of cautious optimism despite failing to qualify for the play-in tournament. Marked as their 30th anniversary year, the season was characterized by gradual progress rather than immediate success, highlighting their vision for the future through promising player acquisitions and a notable trade for Brandon Ingram. While not without its challenges, including a whimsical journey towards rebuilding, the team’s strong fan support has been described as a unique and uplifting aspect of the season's narrative.
Before I talk about the team, I have to talk about our fans. We do have the best fans in the world. We're going through rebuild and every single night 18,000, 20,000 people come to support us. It's outstanding. We go on the road and sometimes we play against teams that are going through the same process. That's not what we experience when we're on the road. To see that kind of love and support, it really proves that this is a very special place.
The Raptors have seemed to decide on a vision to focus on, did well drafting some solid projects to continue investing work in, and made a splash during the trade deadline. Yet, all of those are future moves and not now moves. The 'now' product was... a work in progress.
