Raptors’ sleepy Sunday best won’t be good enough in an all-or-nothing spring Globe_Sports
The Golden State Warriors are a Thursday, with all the anticipation of the weekend to come. The Milwaukee Bucks are a Friday, a day on which a lot of things are possible. And the L.A. Lakers are very late on a Saturday night, when you wake up on the living-room floor and realize that, hey, I don’t have carpet in my living room and what exactly happened last night?
First- and second-round victories are a given. Doesn’t matter if they’re playing the present-day Philadelphia 76ers or the Bill-Russell-era Boston Celtics. They had better go through those teams like an electric knife through liquefied butter. They’ve been to the next-to-last phase only once. LeBron James laid into them like a repeating bag. Afterward, the cry was all “We’ll get him next time.”
We won’t even speak here about a championship. Though you don’t pull for any one team, you also don’t care to jinx it. The long-term goal is persuading Leonard to stay. Having no clue where his head is at, under what circumstances is he most likely to do that?
