If it’s March in Toronto, we’re being treated to the usual sequence of delightful distractions. If I’m remembering it correctly, Pancake Tuesday came somewhere before Pi Day, which came after John Tavares Day, which preceded St. Patrick’s Day and Selection Sunday.
Meanwhile, all everybody’s actually waiting for is a meaningful Toronto game day. And for that, we’ll probably have to wait until April. At least, that’s the way the calendar is shaking out in Raptorland. Certainly Monday’s matchup against the league-worst New York Knicks wasn’t exactly saleable as high-impact stuff. This was the bad versus the bored, Dyin’ for Zion against a home team playing a different kind of lottery, rolling the die for Kawhi.
