Win or lose Game 5, or the series against the Heat, it still feels like the Raptors are on the outside looking in.
Beggars can't be choosers, as the old saying goes. And for many years, make no mistake, the Raptors and their fans have been beggars. So as we sit here looking ahead to tonight's Game 5 against the Miami Heat in Toronto's second round playoff series, we really shouldn't complain. This is what we wanted after all, what we begged so diligently for. A playoff series win, a bigger stage, a chance to make a real run in the post-season.
