The last few regular seasons have been successful for the franchise north of the border. Yet during the 2014 and 2015 NBA playoffs Toronto would get bounced early by Brooklyn and Washington respectively. First round home court meant nothing as Drake's favorite team would go home early in back to back springs. During the 2015-16 NBA season point guard Kyle Lowry from Philadelphia and Demar Derozan from Los Angeles helped the Raptors finish with the 2nd best record in the Eastern Conference. Head coach Dwane Casey has witnessed his basketball team pull out consecutive Game 7 wins during the opening rounds. Toronto took care of Indiana at home during Game 7 in the opening round. Then took care of Miami on Sunday at the Air Canada Centre. Now the Raptors head to Cleveland to play in their 1st Eastern Conference Finals. The top seeded Cavaliers are well rested and are 8-0 thus far in the playoffs. Cleveland has swept Detroit and Atlanta respectively.
