When I decided to keep this weekly tradition going after Reynolds left, I didn’t full realize just how... depressing it can be. When I read and enjoyed Reynolds version over the years, the Toronto Raptors were mostly really really good — except last year, but that was a comically abnormal season.
This year the Raptors are mostly, well, not that great, and even though I didn’t think they would be, seeing them gradually tick down the rankings each Monday is a pretty crappy way to start the week!
Alas, we soldier on, if only to have all this on the record when (yes, when, not if) this team turns things around.
