It’s the most bizarre feeling in the world. The Raptors have won five playoff games in a row and I truly don’t know what to do with myself. The city of Toronto has never felt an aura of confidence surrounding any Raptors team until a couple of days ago: Game 1 against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Don’t get me wrong — I fully expected the Raptors to come out strong on Saturday after obliterating the Magic last round. However, the strangest thing is that it actually happened. No longer must I exude blind confidence, predicated on beliefs that ignore glaring issues within the team’s roster or game plan.
