From JLew1050: ‘Something seems off’: Raptors season reaches a new low point. COLUMN:
TORONTO – In a free-falling season filled with low points, the Raptors may have hit rock bottom.
What’s worse is that, when it was all said and done, nobody seemed especially surprised or distressed by the result. Defeated, sure, maybe even a little dejected. But there was a ‘ho-hum, here we go again’ level of nonchalance to them afterwards. It’s a difficult situation to navigate. How do you grapple with the reality that your team isn’t who you had hoped it would be? You can yell and scream, as Nurse has tried on a few occasions this season. You can hold players-only meetings, and they’ve tried that as well. But you can only go to that well so many times. Those things run their course. What you’re left with is acceptance. After 46 games, you are who you are, and the Raptors are looking and acting like a 20-26 team.
Some of their defensive shortcomings fall on the front office and its flawed roster construction. That the team hasn’t provided much resistance around the bucket isn’t surprising considering it doesn’t employ a reliable rim protector. That their transition defence has struggled is, in part, a reflection of the offensive issues and lack of shooting on the floor.
