Well, it’s over.
With the Indiana Pacers’ win over the Cleveland Cavaliers last night, the Tampa Raptors season is over. Sure, there are still four games left in the schedule, including tonight’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers, but there’s no value to those games other than getting Malachi Flynn, Jalen Harris, Freddie Gillespie, and the team’s less inexperienced crew, more reps to build on for next season.
For some, it’s been a confusing stretch of games since the trade deadline, but the Toronto Raptors have made it clear that making the play-in tournament was not their top priority.
