It’s an all-too-familiar feeling in Raptor Land as the Raptors find themselves in an elimination situation being down 3-2 in their second-round series against the Boston Celtics.
Losing any playoff game will always be a gut punch but it’s the way Toronto lost in Game 5 that has struck the confidence of fans. Toronto got nothing on offense all game long and their defense was subpar to start, collapsing as the game went on. With production being limited on both ends of the court, it magnified the play — or lack thereof — from Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet.
