Another day, another Raptors obliteration of a terrible team. This group has been the best I can remember at taking care of business against the sad-sacks. Wednesday’s win 129-111 win was slightly different since it came at Charlotte, the Eastern Conference city the franchise has had the most trouble with during the Dwane Casey era. There’s been a lid on the rim at the Queen City for years now, but definitely not in this one.

Serge Ibaka is a different player when rest days get strung together, OG Anunoby is the perfect fit in that starting lineup, DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry have the art of tormenting bad teams down to a science.

With roughly 65% of the season still to be played, it’s still very early and the Raptors need to prove they can beat the best, not just the dregs (they’ve competed with the top dogs for a while now, but actually prevailing has been elusive).

This team can hang with anybody not named Golden State (nobody can) if Ibaka and Anunoby keep playing like this.
