Like most of you, I’ve been watching the NBA playoffs despite the Toronto Raptors being long gone. Several commenters have pointed out how discouraging some of these games are to diehard Raptors fans. After all, assuming LeBron James ever slows down enough for our team to get out of the Eastern Conference, we still have to wrestle a giant Western alligator like the Golden State Warriors in order to bring home an NBA championship.
When are we ever going to have a fighting chance to win a title?
Probably the single greatest inhibitor in the Raptors’ rise to greatness is the lack of a superstar.
