The Toronto Raptors season is about to start, so let your hair down and throw caution to the wind as something wild might happen again this year.

The NBA is probably the most predictable league in all of major sports. Think about it – you already know who’s probably going to be in the finals this year.

That being said, there are always just enough surprises within the league to keeps us on our toes each year. For example, last season it was the Warriors going 73-9. (Editors note – And then giving up a 3-1 lead in the finals to the Cleveland Cavaliers!)

Another example was the Toronto Raptors winning 56 games. Even the Raptors making to the Eastern Conference finals was a surprise and would have taken a bold prediction to say so.

Along those lines, here are 10 bold Raptors predictions for the 2016-17 campaign. So, let your hair down and throw caution to the wind as something wild might happen again this year.
