Tuesday’s road loss to the Cavaliers still seems to be all anyone is talking about in Raptorland. While long-term implications of that game are being endlessly debated elsewhere let us cast our attention to the Raptors’ (much more mundane) short term future. As much as we all long for the playoffs to start, the season goes on, and tonight the Raptors play the Nets.
The Raptors played the Nets less than two weeks ago. The most memorable moments from that game took place in the first quarter, when D’Angelo Russell tied Brooklyn’s franchise record for most three point shots made in a single quarter by draining seven long-balls.
