Well, that was awful. Like stepping in dog poop. You know you can wipe it off on the pavement or grass but that stink is gonna stick with you all day.

Actually that kind of sums up the whole season. Sigh.

I figured the Raps would drop last night’s game, but I thought it would be fun to watch. Instead, it was awful to watch, especially when seeing the Bobcats - the Charlotte freakin’ Bobcats, with all of 700 people in the stands - play exactly the sort of basketball this Raptors team SHOULD be playing. Moving the ball. Setting screens. Taking easy, open jumpers. Getting out in transition. Honestly, they dismantled the Raptors easily, and it’s not like they broke ground on some new basketball schemes to do it - they played fundamental ball and hit open shots and the Raptors were completely clueless.

Not much point in analyzing this one, the Raptors did nothing well, they lost badly to a team that’s 10 games under .500. It’s the latest outing, in this seemingly never-ending season, that the Raptors did not show up, did not hustle, settled for jumpers, did not defend, did not rebound, didn’t get back in transition, didn’t do much of anything. How is it possible, that a team of professionals plays like that on a regular basis? I just don’t know. You expect it to happen a handful of times in a season - every team has their off day, their slump - and you know you can get blown out by good teams, even when your team plays well. But with this team, it happens every other game it seems, and they get killed by good and bad teams alike! I just can’t understand it, I have no explanation, and it’s driving me slowly insane.
