When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

I agree with this. But they win a lot of games and put on a generally good showing in the regular season. So I guess I would say the point is "entertainment."?
The problem isn't that they are poo poo. It's that they are good enough to pretend like they're not poo poo for 75% of the season.

The Raptors should've strategically stayed like 5 points down until there was like two minutes to go in the game, then build like a 5 point lead against an unengaged Cavs teams to try to steal it from them instead of pulling ahead in the third which got the Cavs attention too early.

In the playoffs for sure. And I agree with you for the most part. But the Raps had a great point differential and it isn't cus they were a fantastic defensive team. They can score a lot of points and are at time fun to watch. Now they never string together 4 straight quarters of fun to watch ball so maybe the best word is compelling.

For me it is more stress than anything, but I sorta love it and complaining about suffering is part and parcel of being a Toronto sports fan so you just go with it. It's not like you can just stop watching your team.

there were always flukey aspects but relatively deep in the season they were operating at a pretty crazy offensive level. its a really odd phenomenon because its not a well coached team and its not especially talented either. theyre underperforming in this series but this is never a team that should beat cleveland. like i think last season is their ceiling but thats a pretty decent ceiling for the team. i dont know what their plan is going forward and its a really odd spot to be in.
