I write these thoughts after every Toronto Raptors game, and almost all of the time, I really enjoy doing so. But every once in a while, the Raptors play a game that I just take no joy in writing about whatsoever.
Every one of those games is against the Miami Heat.

If there’s one thing we can say about the Miami Heat, it’s that they’re fundamentally sound. They just don’t make a lot of mistakes, and if you make mistakes against them, they’ll take advantage.
It’s not like the Raptors were terrible — at least not through three quarters — but their play was a bit loose, on both ends.
