James Johnson Watch Week 4: Let's try to be professional about it

In a sad 1-3 week for the Raptors, we look to the Watch for answers. And try to stay professional.

Recently, I watched the new film Bridge of Spies, which goes to great (and entertaining) lengths to shine a light on a certain kind of professionalism. The film is set during the Cold War and we're asked to regard two men on either side of its ideological conflict. The American, played by Tom Hanks, is a lawyer tasked with defending a captured Soviet spy, played by Mark Rylance. As you'd expect, Hanks' character is attacked for putting forth a spirited defense.
