Hi, hello, the Raptors are riding a five game win streak and have only lost one game since the calendar flipped to 2019. Have all those wins been pretty? No, definitely not. Was that one loss an embarrassing disaster for all involved? Indeed it was, but at least Toronto got it out of its system.
Today the Raptors are 33-12, riding a wave that has seen them off the Wizards (in 2OT; one of those ugly games we don’t necessarily need to reminisce on), the Hawks, and Nets. (They also put away the Bucks and Pacers, but that’s none of my business.
