Kendrick Perkins’ preseason Toronto Raptors prediction that was mocked is proving to be accurate

Kendrick Perkins predicted the Toronto Raptors were going to be a top-6 seed in the East before the season started

Back in late June, Kendrick Perkins put out a video on X directed at Bill Simmons after Simmons came at Perkins for his Raptors take.

Do you think this will be LeBron James’ final season?

Perkins said that he thought the Raptors were going to be a top-6 seed in the East for the 2025-26 season.

Simmons then responded to Perkins’ video saying: “If you actually think Toronto will be top-6 in the East in anything other than “most fun place to visit” — let’s wager on it ASAP.”

So far, Perkins’ prediction is looking good. The Raptors have looked like a team that is destined to make the playoffs this season.

The Toronto Raptors can continue to build on their hot streak

After beating the Philadelphia 76ers, the team that handed the Raptors their only loss over their last 10 games, the Raptors will return home for four straight.

The Raptors’ upcoming schedule is very lenient and they can continue to build on their 10-5 record.

Toronto will take on the: Washington Wizards, Brooklyn Nets, Cleveland Cavaliers who they have beaten twice already and the Indiana Pacers before heading on the road to take on the Charlotte Hornets.

Those are all winnable games as the Raptors have a great chance to continue to extend their second place spot in the East and even contend for the No. 1 spot currently held by the Detroit Pistons.
