Pardon the extreme language of the clip below, but it’s applicable to the current Raptors situation. I know leaning on clips from The Wire is perhaps a tired trope in 2017 (and I already buried the link in a post earlier today), but it’s my favourite show of all time, and it remains applicable in all sorts of ways. Also, it is still quite entertaining. Anyway, watch and see if you can spot the Raptors comp.
(Before we continue: shout out to Idris Elba and his climb up to Hollywood stardom.
