Are the playoffs here yet? No? Hmmm, can I interest you in a late-season game with the Detroit Pistons? No? Too bad, because I’m going to write about it anyway.
The Raptors are playing in the second half of a back-to-back set after suffering an ugly 108-90 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday which saw the Dinos blow a 19-point first half lead. Indy outscored Toronto 68-39 in the second half in what was one of the Raptors’ worst late efforts in recent memory.
It’s easy to get worked up over the poor performance, but considering Dwane Casey’s club had won eight of nine heading into the contest there’s no reason to push the panic button.
