They say winning cures all ills, but not even a Toronto Raptors victory could make me fully enjoy last night’s win 101-81 against the Miami Heat — after all, it’s still the Miami Heat!
Still, it does leave me feeling a little more enthusiastic the morning after — at least I get to write about some winning basketball.
1. Same but Different
I can’t say that I was surprised to see the Raptors squander another big lead last night; this team can’t seem to help itself. Despite a solid first half on both ends that have the Raptors a 14-point halftime lead, the Raps (and their fans) suffered through another interminable scoring drought after halftime, allowing the Heat to go on a 19-5 run over a mere three minutes of the third quarter to tie the score at 61.
