Raptors fans are losing all hope
Published by The Cavalier August 29th, 2005 in Fans, Toronto Raptors
Dave Feschuk of the Toronto Star took the team to task over the weekend. A more accurate description may be that he’s giving in to the inevitable result of the upcoming season.
Think about it: Last year the Raptors won all of 33 games without losing a regular to a significant injury. This year they’ve lost Marshall, their second-best big man behind Bosh. They’ve got jack-all else to make up for Marshall’s veteran steadiness, nobody but the Euro-unknown Jose Calderon and (in all likelihood) a minimum-salary journeyman to keep Alston honest. They’ve got a hot-head coach who may well maim a player by season’s end. They’ve got, in short, all the pieces in place for a new standard in arena-emptying, punchline-inspiring, renaissance-inducing futility.
There are two important things to extrapolate from that article, besides a general feeling of sorrow. One, the city of Toronto is much more realistic than the delusional Utah fans. That doesn’t at all lead to the next question, but let’s phrase it like that anyway. This leads to the next question, who or what is a Euro-unknown Jose Calderon?
