The Nets stink. The Raptors are going to beat them in four games, even though they have to brave the harsh conditions of a Bubble road game, a.k.a. the basketball at centre court doesn’t have a dinosaur claw through it and the TV screens are wearing different shirts.
Lots of smarter people than I — including the HQ team — can help you analyze why the Raptors are better than Brooklyn in a bunch of ways. So, instead of focusing on that, Three Lessons goes big picture.
I may have cheated on the whole “from the past week” part of my Three Lessons, but this is my first piece since the restart, so I’m granting myself a pass.
