I number of things broke well for us last year — guys had career seasons, and we suffered no serious injuries, particularly to Lowry and DeRozan — which is pretty damn lucky, considering how much contact they absorb.
On the other hand, we lost ground during the first third of the season, before the Rudy Gay trade.
To me, it's a wash. I expect their record to be pretty much the same. The team will play better as a motivated unit but we'll have our slumps, lose a guy here and there for a few weeks.

Especially Lowry. He said he got what he wanted with the 4th year player option. If he goes back to old ways everything Masai told him last summer will no longer be whispered it will be fact.
So what some might say, sure he is getting $36 or $48M. True but you know what is better than $36-48m? Another $36-48m.....or more.

Masai has no trouble singing big money contracts and flipping them in the first year (see nene)Sunny ways my friends, sunny ways

It's hard to say we took a step back, but we definitely didn't take a step forward. Overall we're about the same.

A lot of media people just have to keep churning out content, or the newest buzz word "hot takes" the more topics you cover the less time you can devote to primary research. So much of what media people say is regurgitation of what other media people have said (because they don't have the time/are too lazy do do primary research). Not having anything new to say has never stopped media people from churning stuff out. And unfortunately churning stuff out is more important that churning out something that is actually worthwhile."They're going to have to rename the whole conference after us: Toronto Raptors 2014-2015 Northern Conference Champions" ~ ezzbee Dec. 2014
