It was a wild Tuesday night, in which the Raptors got their rings, raised a banner and went to overtime, but we’re about to hit the doldrums of the regular season real fast. Road trips, back-to-back, perpetually annoying non-contenders like the Bulls and Kings.
First though, the Raptors had to take on their division rivals, the Celtics. These aren’t the same Celtics as before though, gone are Kyrie Irving and Al Horford, and gone, at least I hoped, was my petty obsession over division rivalries, as I believed they would be rendered irrelevant in the wake of the Raptors’ title win.
