NBA Title Watch: Are the Raptors for Real?
The Toronto Raptors are the Big Slick of poker – looks good before the game begins but how often does it really win when it matters most? Well, if you’re a Texas Hold’em player and you get Ace/King pre-flop then you know what I’m talking about. You bump the antes so hopefully, the weaklings fall out so that if you do lose, it won’t be to rags but with power hands like an elegant pair of royals in the hole.
But unlike poker, basketball games are predicated far more on skill than luck, although, certainly there are intangibles and unforeseen variables that can influence an outcome.
