There’s something odious about sitting in 11th place and looking up at the Washington Wizards. Before the start of the 2020-21 season, none of us would have predicted that outcome for the Toronto Raptors — and yet with seven games left in the season, that’s where we are right now with the squad. It’s disappointing, especially given pre-season expectations, but the Raptors still have some fight left in them.
That is the remarkable part of all this. Despite the re-location to Tampa, the injuries, the COVID infections, and everything that has come along with that, the Raptors keep on winning just enough games to hang around.
