Toronto Raptors
They are as advertised: A slick-passing, smart-shooting team that can't guard anybody. Last in the NBA in defensive efficiency, the Raptors are hovering around .500 because they possess a potent front line in Chris Bosh, Andrea Bargnani and Hedo Turkoglu, and have guys like Jose Calderon and Jarrett Jack to get them the ball. I ridiculed the big contracts awarded Bargnani and Jack before the season, but they've actually been better investments than Turkoglu. Toronto's first half was neither fantastic nor terrible enough to by itself decide the fate of impending free agent Bosh, who might be moved before the trading deadline.
