Timing is everything.
If this weekly article posted every Friday instead of Monday, the narrative (and my mood) would be fairly dark and mostly negative. Thankfully, that’s not the case. This is not being written after the San Antonio Spurs absolutely spanked the Raptors on national TV in the much-anticipated first meeting of the season between DeMar DeRozan and Kawhi Leonard. This is being written just as Toronto put a bow on a perfect weekend. One in which they reclaimed the top spot in the East by beating their two closest rivals, record-wise, on back-to-back nights!
