The Toronto Raptors are a shadow of the team they once were when they beat The Golden State Warriors for the NBA title back in 2019.

These two teams faced off for NBA Rivals week last night and the game never really was hard to watch for Raptors fans.

The Raptors had moments in the first three quarters, but the Warriors started to pull away with the lead when Klay Thompson and Steph Curry started to heat up in the fourth.

The Warriors ended up dropping 31 points in the fourth quarter, leaving the Raptors in the dust.

While the Raptors put up a good fight, they crumbled in the final stages of the game. Needless to say, the Raptors team that beat Golden State for the championship in 2019 wouldn’t have let this happen.

Sure it’s not entirely their fault that all star player Kawhi Leonard just didn’t want to be there. The team had all the tools to come back from this though and at least been competitive these past few years.

However, the team has had no such luck. The Raptors are currently ranked 12th in the east and 25th overall with no real hopes at making the playoffs this year.

Canadians are struggling to see a team that brought them a title in 2019 doing so horrendous now. Let’s hope the Raptors can turn their luck around and get back to winning ways in the 23-24 season.
