Game 81: Raptors vs. Wizards - Post-game
That was kind of strange. Just when I thought the Raptors were going to show once again why they had the kind of season they did, Chris Bosh comes up big hitting a shot I never want him to take. Yup, it has just been that kind of season where strange things have happened, a lot of them being bad, but with the occasional gem here and there.
Even stranger than Bosh hitting the 3 (we have seen him do that once in a while) was that the Raptors came back from being down double digits with about six minutes left in the game. How many times have we seen that this season? You could probably count on one hand.
But before we get too crazy and talk about the things that could have been this season, let’s remember that this was the Washington Wizards the Raptors were up against tonight. The Wizards are not a good team. There’s no other way to say it. They are on the verge of tying their franchise record for most losses in a season. They are without their blogging/ball-hogging star and have stumbled through the whole season. This is the kind of team the Raptors should be taking care of on a nightly basis, but then again, based on what we have seen from the Raps this season, maybe this isn’t the kind of team they should be taking care of. Maybe tonight was just a blip on what has been a meteorite of a season.
So now into Chicago for the final game of the season. Funny how it looks like the Raptors might go out the way they came in, winning a few in a row. Bookends on a season of misery.
