The Toronto Raptors had a storybook season in 2013-14. Picked as a team that would be near the bottom of the Eastern Conference, the Raptors won the Atlantic Division, and had homecourt advantage in the first round of the playoffs for the first time in team history. So why should Raptors fans be excited about the 2014-15 season? Here are five reasons why.

The Eastern Conference is still pretty weak, which means the Raptors could be a shoo-in for their second straight playoff berth, and maybe, just maybe, the team can steal a playoff series.

While DeMar DeRozan will be the team’s leading scorer again, Kyle Lowry is the team’s heart and soul. Lowry is easily one of the best point guard in the east, and Raptors fans will be excited to watch him do his thing on the basketball court.
