We’ve fully entered “dog days of the season” territory. In case you weren’t sure, may I present last night’s contest between the Toronto Raptors, and eight or so dudes wearing New Orleans Pelicans uniforms.
The game was ragged, both teams were running up and down, throwing the ball all over the court — often to each other. Still, give the young Pelicans credit for hanging around for 2.5 quarters before the more experienced, more talented Raptors pulled away.
A few quick thoughts:
I watched this game with my Dad, who, while he keeps general tabs on the Raptors, doesn’t usually watch full games.
