The Raptors, even as they’ve established themselves as an Eastern contender, are simply too unpredictable to be bankable. Thursday’s loss dropped the Raptors’ record against teams .500 or better to a dismal 3-6. As the coach was saying this week, he’d like to see the Raptors get to the free-throw line more often. Even if you’re an 80 per cent shooter from the free-throw line, you’re producing 1.6 points a possession on a pair of attempts. Remember the lesson of the season in which the Raptors set what’s still a franchise record for free throws per game.
