It’s here! This is not a drill, this is real, and it’s finally happening. The NBA playoffs are here. They are a magical time for sports. It’s what the entire year’s worth of work has been building towards. All the sacrifices and decisions that the Toronto Raptors have made all lead to this next month, with the goal of being crowned kings.
But, with the crowning of a new king comes to the disappointment of the 29 other franchises who were also competing for that top spot. While winning in the playoffs might be one, if not, the best experience of a players life, the disappointment that comes with a loss is equally as powerful.
