The Dribble

so the spineless Raptors go down in a heap (not so ironically) like roadkill and what bothered me was that an ugly game didn't get uglier.

Not sure if you follow me but...

Sam Mitchell's award got in the way of giving the Raptors a playoff identity as they rolled over early in the game and whimpered away like a dog beaten just too routinely

the coach of the year's cred has skyrocketed because of the turnaround Toronto showed during the regular season and he was awarded that honor in just fashion but one could argue that had he not been bestowed the distinction he may / should have sent out a goon for the same attention.

instead it's off to face elimination (or Siberia to help Ghearardini to look for another euro-import)

and still nobody is scared of the fightless Raptors
