Yea we got smoked that game. It was a back-to-back against a well rested team that is absolutely loaded and 1 of the best teams in the league. I would have liked to see a closer game of course, but did anyone actually expect us to win this game?

FAQ,

Let’s assume a comet hits the earth?

Let’s assume LeBron tanks the season cause he wants to be traded?

If you make enough assumptions the players can go on a wildcat strike to avoid upcoming negotiations with the owners and the season is canceled.

How about assume the Raptors gel as a team, everyone plays above their heads and the Raps win 62 games?

Or let’s look at history and assume it repeats itself and the Raps win 47 like in 2006!

There is no requirements to hold a sign saying the world is coming to an end.
The worst case scenario doesn’t usually happen.

19 back-to-back games … and let’s assume Raptors lose all 19 games ..!!!!

82 – Regular season games
19 – (minus) Back-to-back losses
63 – Remaining games
39 – Wins for a 0.500 season
67%- (39/63) Win Ratio

Sooooo … who thinks the Raps can win 67% of the remaining available games?

Let’s say for the 63 games they go 32-31 … that means it’s 34-48 season..!!!

Raps have won 2 games … so where are the remaining 32 wins ..????

The Raps couldn’t stop anybody in Dallas. Even the Dallas Subs shot 60% and outscored the Raptors bench 58-30. The Raptors Bench shooting for just 36%.

Wright going 1-9 on the night. Jack missing all 4 2-point attempts after finally hitting most of his threes.

Surprisingly the starters on both teams ended the game in a 71-71 tie.
