There is more than half an NBA season to go and the time has not yet arrived for panic, but it might be wise for the Raptors to heed the words of the wise sage Yogi Berra.
“It’s getting late early.”
The Raptors are a good team that too often doesn’t play like one, a bit of a tease. They can look great in Brooklyn and awful in Atlanta on consecutive nights. They cannot catch a break in end-of-game situations, and tend to play themselves out of winnable situations instead of into them far too often.
