Let me start out by saying this. I am an incurable Raptors optimist. Where others constantly bitch and moan and proclaim doom and gloom for the Toronto basketball team, I am, almost always, completely positive.
Zan Tabak? He could figure it out, he learned from Hakeem Olajuwon every day at practice back in 1994! Michael Bradley? Posted great numbers in Villanova — he just needs a chance. Fifty-nine wins but beaten like a drum by LeBron James for the third season in a row? Winning is hard, and most other NBA teams would kill to have the Raps’ balance of success and youth.
