Wow, that was a rough few days. Three straight losses for our Toronto Raptors, two of them to the two worst teams in the entire NBA, and the third to the Cleveland Cavaliers, the team the Raptors are chasing (were chasing?) for the sixth and final guaranteed playoff spot.
The losses aren’t too surprising; after all, the Raptors are missing two starters, and when those two are two of your best three shooters, and Gary Trent Jr., stuck in the iciest of shooting slumps, is your third, well, that’s a recipe for disaster.
Re-watched the Raptors seven minute scoreless stretch in 3rd and my assessment is: lots of good shots, too many bad shooters.
