After Game 5's blowout loss on Wednesday, I'm at a rare loss for words. All throughout these playoffs, we've been able to point to areas for improvement, or silver linings following a loss. We've been able to pinpoint what went wrong, and vociferously debate the proper solutions. There's been a passion about this team. A frustration at times, but an unrelenting passion.
Now though? It's desperation.
For a third time this post-season, the Toronto Raptors are on the brink of elimination. The previous two times, they triumphed. This time, they'll have to do it twice to stay alive.
