As the calendar flips to December and thoughts of the new year start creeping in, my mind usually reflects on the year that was.
The Toronto Raptors did not provide many positive highlights this calendar year. Two more members of the championship roster were traded (leaving Chris Boucher as the last man standing), as the team finished in the lottery, but without a lottery pick. As promising as this season has started — from a development and a pro-tanking standpoint — the casual fan will only notice wins and losses. And there have been plenty more losses (42) than wins (19) this calendar year.
