It was noted a couple of times during tonight’s broadcast that the Raptors could very well be 4-0 now instead of 2-2. It’s an inspiring sentiment, even if reality doesn’t quite work that way. (For what it’s worth: I, Daniel Reynolds, would love to live in the 4-0 Raptors alternate dimension.)
Moving on from the previous two debacles is a good thing though — even if only to a point. Toronto’s squad faced the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night and at times they played as though they believed they were undefeated and not in the midst of a slide.
