There’s no gentle way to describe what happened in Orlando on Friday night. It was a kick to the teeth of a fanbase already teetering on the edge of full-blown panic. The Raptors got outclassed for the second time in five days by the Orlando freaking Magic, a team comprised of ill-fitting dudes that could be scattered around the league three weeks from now.
For those who have been attempting to remain measured throughout the last month of ugly Raptors basketball, Friday might be the turning point where your grip on optimism was lost, plunging you into a state of worry and frustration.
