Well, that was a bit of a throat punch, wasn't it? Let's recollect ourselves and focus on some positive things that can be taken from the Raptors disappointing loss in Game 1 against Miami.

Game 7 misses, 60-loss seasons, first round flops, emigrating stars, Andrea Bargnani - it seems no form of suffering has been left off the table by this franchise. But just when you think the Raptors franchise as reached its peak potential for fan torment, the research and development team comes out with a shiny, new and innovative way to rip the hearts out of its loyal followers.
