Well, here we are — the end of the road. Game 7 against the Boston Celtics came right along and ripped the collective hearts out of Raptors fans, but you know what, it didn’t feel quite as bad as past losses. That must have something to do with the shimmer of rings on fingers and banners in air that magically eases the sting of not winning.
Would we all have loved it if the Raptors stomped on the Celtics and not turned the ball over 18 times in Game 7 in increasingly maddening fashion?
