The Toronto Raptors took a page out of the Phoenix Suns' book and surprised the team with family members doing the starting lineups.

The players enjoyed the video before they took on the Brooklyn Nets in Game 1 of their first-round series.

This is a great touch by the Toronto franchise. It appears the Suns have started a positive and unique trend down in Orlando, Florida.

The Raptors are the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference this season. They are expected to defeat the Nets in the first round of the playoffs since Brooklyn is playing without Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, DeAndre Jordan and Spencer Dinwiddie.

It has been fun to watch the Raptors' run this season. Not many predicted them to finish with the second-best record in the East after losing Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green in free agency last summer. It's why many believe Toronto head coach Nick Nurse should easily win the 2020 Coach of the Year Award.

If the Raps and Milwaukee Bucks meet in the Eastern Conference Finals like last season, Milwaukee would likely be favored since Leonard is gone and Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is playing better than last season.

However, fans can't count out the heart of a champion. Besides, the Raptors showed during the regular season they are fully capable of competing with the best teams in the league for 48 minutes.
