The Raptors’ season is in some ways different today than it was a few days ago. We’re all committed to seeing it through with Kyle Lowry, for one — that’s been totally settled. Two, for the first time ever, Norman Powell will suit up against his former teammates. And while I’d like to add a third thing here, unfortunately the Raptors lost on Friday night to the Suns, so their season still appears to be trending downwards.
But once again we hope: is tonight the night the Raptors get a win and start putting together something of a streak?
