The Toronto Raptors were definitely in for a tough one last night, facing the Nuggets in Denver at the end of a four-game road trip; it got even harder when Kyle Lowry, Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet were ruled out. With only nine rotation players (if you can even call Lorenzo Brown a rotation player) the Raptors just didn’t have the horses to compete at high altitude.
Speaking of the altitude — let’s start there, shall we?
Dear NBA, Please Stop Handing the Nuggets Wins
I think it’s BS that the NBA can schedule a team to visit Denver on the last game of a four-game, six-night road trip.
