I don’t know about you, but I wasn’t ready for the Toronto Raptors’ season to end on Monday night. It’s not just that I expected a long playoff run this year, it’s just, emotionally, it came so soon. With the Raptors and Cavaliers playing every other day, and the Cavs winning four straight for the sweep, this seven-game series was over in less than a week. The postseason run that I wanted to last into June lasted less than a month. It was a sudden, swift and certain end.
All of which is to say, I didn’t want to be writing a season recap so soon, but here we are.
