To invoke the words of the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow might not be exactly right, but there certainly is some way to compare his little girl with the curl and the 2020-21 Raptors.
You know the one:
There was a little girl
Who had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead
When she was good
She was very very good
But when she was bad she was horrid
Now, horrid is a reach. The Raptors have not been horrid during the first half of this odd NBA season, but Longfellow’s point is well made.
