Kind of a weird parallel between these 2 teams I noticed. Since 2015 almost 80% of the rosters have changed, so we're very different. But also the cores of both teams are the exact same, so we're still very similar. While the benches have been completely changed, both teams still rely on the same dynamic all star backcourts, and the same 7 foot Euro Giant in the middle.
Also, we've progressed, and they've regressed.9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

Porter is pretty good and has grown in Washington. But what I like about their bench is they don't really have many energy guys. Usually those are the type of guys that give our bench fits (thinking Harrell in LAC or Adebayo in Miami).
Satoransky is a big PG which might be tough for either Delon, Lowry or Fred to handle, but the reverse could be true as well.
Wizards are better when they move the ball around. Wall seems to curtail that a bit.. so that's a good thing. We just need Wall to play selfish and try to make winning plays on his own.

Edit 1) Looks like the New Yorker beat me to it
Can't believe @steven_lebron tricked the New Yorker into letting him write about the unique paranoia of Raptors fans, and even more shocked to be quoted in it. #spookymulder https://t.co/2cbPpPljox

Edit 2) After all my conspiracy complaining, we are not playing at 9:00 am on ESPN ocho. 5:30 on the real ESPN. Not too shabby.
Lowe, for his part, believes Raptors fans should alter their collective psyche this time around. “Be confident in your team,” he said. “They’ve been the best team in the East all year. Try that on, see how it feels, workshop it for a day.”9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum
