""All of those games, they're allowing players, coaches, all of us to grow. The playoffs are going to be another step for us, for many young players to learn the intensity and attention to detail, and how much every possession matters in the playoffs. I think it's going to help us tremendously in growing this roster.""
""This will be the Raptors' first playoff series with their core of Scottie Barnes, Brandon Ingram, RJ Barrett, and Immanuel Quickley. All of them have been to the playoffs, but never together and not in a while.""
The Raptors finished fifth and secured a playoff spot, indicating a successful season. However, the team is still in the rebuilding phase and needs to improve beyond being a lower-seeded playoff team. The playoffs will highlight the roster's deficiencies and the readiness of players for high-pressure situations. Head coach Darko Rajaković emphasized the importance of meaningful games for player development. This playoff series will be the first for the core players together, while some will experience the playoffs for the first time.
