Don't try to sugarcoat it. This team remains a mess on defense and it hardly looks like its improving. The offense is improving a little, but allowing 115+ a game will get us a ticket back to the lottery.
At least we have our pick this year!
I'm not sugar coating it. If I didn't see improvement, I wouldn't say so. I've seen improvement. The Raptors are the second best team in the East - the Knicks played them hard in their house and still have room for improvement. The defense is part of that. The coaching is part of that. The offense is part of that. Unfortunately the refs have been part of it.
You are right, but most of the league is better than us and whoever isn't, is at least on par with us. So, is losing against all acceptable? It's not. This game was very winnable, yet again we let another team, no matter how good or bad, we let them have their way on offense. Results? Another loss.
We are a few weeks of this same pace from the coach being fired and another lost season. I've seen this script play out so many times. The cast might be different, but the result is the same crappy movie.
