TORONTO (AP) — For the sixth time in seven playoff appearances, the Raptors are finished after the first round. The Raptors were blunt in acknowledging Monday that they got complacent after roaring to the top of the Eastern Conference standings with a 24-7 start. The playoffs exposed that, with a reeling Raptors team swept away by Washington, capped off by a 31-point whitewash in Game 4. Casey's efforts to create a more up-tempo attack paid dividends, but Toronto's defense paid the price. With the team scoring big and still winning in the first few weeks of his injury, DeRozan said the Raptors allowed themselves to forget about "the dark side and the tough times that got you there." Six Raptors are free agents this summer, including reigning Sixth Man award winner Lou Williams and longtime starter Amir Johnson.
