I guess going 8-0 in the Bubble wasn’t really realistic, was it? Still, I would have hoped that the one game the Raptors would have circled on their calendars would have been last night’s matchup with the Boston Celtics, their closest rival in the standings and a likely playoff opponent this season.
Instead, they played their worst game of basketball in five months.
Before we start, a quick note to say that sports media in Toronto and across North America, including right here at Raptors HQ, is pretty damn white. A bunch of us made a donation to the Canadian Association of Black Journalists this past week, an organization that is helping to improve inclusion and increase diversity in Canadian media.
