Another week has passed, and it seems as if the Toronto Raptors have committed to absurdity this season. This week has been the best so far for the team by quite a large margin, but an even greater margin still lies between the current Raptors and what we expected of them. Since last Friday, they have gone 2-2, and their losses have been two gut-wrenching, heart-breaking affairs, with Pascal Siakam missing game-winning buzzer-beaters in consecutive nights, shots that were great in all aspects except for, you know, the whole “going in the net” thing.
Both shots were only inches off.
