We’re trying to maintain some perspective here in preparation for tonight’s Raptors vs. Rockets contest. For one, it’s a scrimmage, which means it will only be modestly competitive, as per every exhibition game we’ve ever seen. For two, the game is taking place during a global pandemic and being played in the U.S. state of Florida, an area that just so happens to have seen one of the more dramatic increases in coronavirus cases anywhere in the entire world. For three, that second issue really is a big one.
Nevertheless — I’ll be using that word a lot — the game is set for tonight in the so-called Disney Bubble.
