The Raptors won’t be perfect. There will always be ups and downs in a given season, even one in which the Raptors seem set on winning over 60 games and potentially going to the Finals (where they could very well lose, meaning all this work could hilariously be for naught). You see my point here: failure was always going to be part of the equation.
Toronto still had a good week. They went 2-1 since last Wednesday, with a pair of comfortable wins in what should have been trap games. First the Raps won out against a young and hungry Kings squad at the end of a road trip out west, and then they returned home and still got up to play the Knicks at the weird-ass hour of 3pm in the afternoon.
