5. Raptors are Officially in Play for Pride mode

The Raptors are down 0-2 to the LeBrons, but it’s not an impossible feat to come back. So why is Casey acting like the Raptors just got obliterated by 50 in Cleveland?

The Raptors should be playing for pride? The 2017-18 Raptors are the best team in franchise history; there is talent oozing out of every orifice.

When the coach is mentally resigning from the series, that’s a bad sign. There are still, at minimum, two games left; if there was ever a Raptors team to make a comeback and win a series, it’s this one.

Sure the Raptors should have won Game 1 and Game 2 was a blow out, okay. But there are still games to be played. Why is the obituary being written, when the Raptors just have a bad cold?
