TORONTO — Expectations are high in Raptor-land ahead of the 2016-17 season, but the organization knows building on last year’s unprecedented success will not be easy. “We won’t be sneaking up on teams,” Raptors general manager Jeff Weltman told Postmedia on the eve of training camp. “The league gets better every year and the East is on the rise, certainly is trending upward, so we know going in that we’ll have to be better. We know that reaching the Eastern Conference finals last year is a watermark that we want to exceed. “We’re just trying to establish the same kind of continuity off the court that we’ve tried to do on the court.”
