Perhaps the most dreaded moniker that can be hung on a team is “soft” and that’s a term that has been flung at the Toronto Raptors more than once over the years and again this season.
But these Raptors have shown an inherent toughness at times by beating some of the league’s best teams in games they had no business winning.
The more recent term being bandied about is “fragile” and that unfortunately has accurately described this current version of the Raptors on more than one occasion this season.
The team is especially fragile on the road where even a little adversity seems to be enough for the Raptors to cave and let games slip away to teams they should be able to handle.
