It’s early, it’s early, it’s early.
Being reasonable about the Toronto Raptors seems excessively difficult after yesterday’s loss to the Boston Celtics sans Kyrie Irving. Plenty of the issues on the court could’ve been avoided (or so it seems). Jonas Valanciunas coming in and wiping away his team’s momentum in the first half. A baffling rotation that’s got Fred VanVleet playing in the clutch. An offense that seems wholly centred on DeMar DeRozan taking jumpers in the fourth. That’s what we collectively saw on Sunday afternoon, and separating that from the whole of an early season is hard.
