Game 7s are cool and exciting in every sport... except when they involve the team you happen to root for. There are exceptions, of course, ways to put some positive spin on it; maybe your particular favourite team was an underdog and forced a seventh and deciding game against all odds. That’s nice, one supposes. But the fact remains: when it’s one of your favourite teams involved, it’s still a tough watch.
That goes double if you’re a Raptors fan. They’re a team that has put itself through the wringer of seven-game (or five-game first round) series almost as a matter of course.
