Back to the drawing board for the Raptors
A season that began with such promise and so many expectations has ended with more questions than answers, the failings of a roster laid out for all to see in a beating administered by a better team.
Everyone connected with the Raptors will begin the painful process of self-evaluation today, secure in the knowledge that no matter what they said or thought, it was proven quite conclusively they are not now as good as the Orlando Magic, let alone the top echelon of NBA teams.
Losing the best-of-seven series in five games will be a bitter pill for general manager Bryan Colangelo, coach Sam Mitchell and the players to swallow. Losing in the manner in which they did will be even more difficult to accept.
“They played a great series, they executed on offence and defence better than we did and when it came to the small things, they did a better job,” Chris Bosh said after the Magic ended Toronto’s season with a 102-92 Game 5 victory last night.
“I can’t sit here and bark in protest that the better team didn’t win. That’s pretty obvious. They beat us pretty good.”

T.J. is the best Pg. we’ve got. I hope that you are apart of the raptors in the future. It really gets me mad when I read all the crap that people are saying regarding your play and position on the team. I know that you will be an All Star soon. Thanks for giving us your best.
