An 11-game win streak came to end this week and the Raptors lost to Cleveland. In any other year, I’d have gone to my room, turned the lights off, and shed some quiet tears over the doomed future and pure Raptors-ing to come.
But no more! I am a positive man, and a 2-2 week against Dallas, Oklahoma City, Orlando and Cleveland isn’t going to throw me off the projection that the Raptors will make some noise this post-season. My confident demeanour can be attributed to the Raptors’ young guys, who were steady when the starters (*cough* Serge Ibaka) weren’t, and continually kept Toronto in some fun games — even as they ended as losses.
