The Get Up
Well, that was quite the pitiful, shameful performance - if I have seen any
- that the Raps put out there
The defeated looks on Derozan and Lowry's faces in the post-game interview said it all
(especially Kyle, that doesn't seem to want to be with the team anymore) :

This happens to be the best Raptors ever assembled, especially given that Masai went to get Ibaka and Tucker at the trade deadline, thus plugging the most glaring leaks of the team, and yet... and yet
If Toronto bails out in the first round and is anything short of a competitive series with the Cavs, MLSE will definitely not go into the luxury tax, a 31 years old Lowry becomes less attractive (
200 mil over 5 years
), an Ibaka might find another home, a Tucker could take his twilight years elsewhere... Hummmmm...

You must feel pretty darn good with the outcome, regardless if the Raps manage to pull the upset
I still think the Raptors have a decent shot, given their tendency to always put themselves in early holes... I mean these guys are pros, much like us, right, that have to pick ourselves up in the morning after a rough night at the tables, that have to shake off that existential rust, kick away that depression, get back up, punch gravity in the face and live to fight another day
Curiously though, I don't feel too down after this game, nor do I ponder uselessly on this present
3k downswing of mine over the past few days. I mean, poker has been so easy this winter that my downswings have always come in the midst of clearing some
RB, thus ending up net positive as far as profits goes
(am up still roughly
1k when including last weeks
RB).
Only 1 week left before Montreal, which will see me still grind somewhat, but at perhaps a
20h/week clip... I obviously have the
5.3k Party Millions on May 8 followed by an intensive grind in Dawson. Not sure if I will start a new
50k poll challenge or continue with this thread, but either way, it will solely a self-interested decision, given that there are not many posters in this thread...
Run good all
