The
2007–08 Toronto Raptors season was the 13th
National Basketball Association (NBA) season for the
Toronto Raptors basketball franchise, with the
2007–08 season scheduled to begin in October 2007. The major acquisition was that of three-point specialist

Orlando Magic, and were eliminated in five games.
