Hello. My name is Jay and I write this weekly article that prepares you for the week ahead in Raptors games. Sorry, it’s been so long that a re-introduction seemed necessary.
In fact, the gap between the Raptors’ last game (March 9) and this Friday’s scrimmage with Houston (137 days) is longer than last year’s off-season (June 13 to October 22 = 131 days).
This season is unlike any other. While that appears to be the understatement of the year, it rang true even before the league abruptly shut down in early March. The Milwaukee Bucks, Toronto Raptors, and Miami Heat were allowing three-point attempts at a record pace — each allowing at least 38 per game.
