It feels like the second round just started (heck, it hasn’t even started in the Western Conference yet) and yet here we are, with the defending NBA Champion Toronto Raptors down 0-2 and about to enter a “must win” Game 3 tonight against the Boston Celtics. 0-2? Already? Didn’t we just get here!?
This is not, as Jackson Rakoczy noted earlier today, a particularly enjoyable place to be as Raptors fans. We’ve been through this enough, haven’t we? The questions about being built for the playoffs, about having “the guy,” about getting out of the second round.
