Our Raptors who tend to disappear in the playoffs have the third most playoff wins in the last 2 years... Only Warriors and Cavs have more.

I think its because of the way they won their series. They lost game 1 (at home) in every series. Lowry and DD both played awfully at times. Testament to the role players (especially JV, Biz and Powell) that they still won the series they were supposed to win. But it really looked bad if you're on the outside looking in.
And prior to those two years they got swept by the Wizards and lost to Brooklyn in 7.. both those times they faced teams with worse regular season records.

I think the misconception is that the Raptors crap the bed in the playoffs. The reality is it's the Raptors offense that suddenly doesn't look the same in the playoffs. In games where they aren't playing the Cavs though, the defense for them really steps up and allows them to win series. The Heat series from a couple of seasons ago was still impressive considering the Heat were probably the 3rd best team in the East that year.That is a normal collar. Move on, find a new slant.
