I spent the last week or so getting away from my computer and social media, and, as much as possible, from the Toronto Raptors. I needed a break! The angst surrounding the team after their December losing skid and Fred VanVleet’s prolonged slump had completely worn me down. Even after my vacation to Antigua was canceled (thanks Westjet!) I decided to become a hermit and stay away from... well, everything.
I guess not much has changed, though?
While I was enjoying watching old movies from my couch, the Raptors closed out 2023 by dropping two seemingly listless games against strong opponents (the Los Angeles Clippers and Memphis Grizzlies) and squeaking out a win against a depleted Phoenix Suns team.
