CAMDEN, N.J.–With the Philadelphia 76ers getting set to face the Toronto Raptors in Round 1 of the NBA Playoffs on Saturday, there are some challenges this Raptors team presents. They don’t have many big-name players, but they are a team that scraps, they play hard, and they have a lot of size.
The Raptors took three out of four matchups from the Sixers in the regular season by using a very simple formula. They have been tough on the glass, a weak spot for Philadelphia, and they get out in transition which is another weak spot for the Sixers.
