The Toronto Raptors have no choice but to defeat the Dallas Mavericks

Before a single possession takes place on the court, the Toronto Raptors are already expected to beat the Dallas Mavericks at home on Sunday.  At least that’s what the Raptors fan base believes, especially after being held hostage by exceeded expectations and a timeline that’s regrettably ahead of schedule.  Simply put – the NBA’s lone […]
