And you're hitting the danger zone.
Correct.
And that's my point.
And now you have another game on the road tonight.
The Raptors have been a much better team on the road.
They're 19 and 10 on the road.
They're 500 at home, which is really odd.
So maybe it'll help them tonight.
But the issue is when, and look, I've always done this, my whole coaching and now broadcast, I always evaluate, how are you against the top four teams in each conference tonight?
Even the top eight, if you're not a playoff team, how'd you do against the top eight?
And in Toronto's case, as a five seed, you go, okay, I think they're the 11th best team in the league.
So you look at the 10 teams north of you and how do you stack up?
What are you doing?
And the thing that jumps off the page at me, to your point, is from a roster perspective, they have some challenges when the game slows down.
When the game is at a nice pace, they're fine.
They're fine.
And this coaching staff, Coach Darko and his staff have done a really good job trying to play to those positives and camouflage the weaknesses.
But good teams, good competition expose you.
They make you play the way they want to play.
They dictate terms.
