Hello, I am a Torontonian and let me tell you a story.
Last year my city was electric, ready for Game 1. Wizards @ Raptors.
I was ready too, I didn't like the Raptors much, I preferred Golden State. I looked at the statistics and head to head. The Raptors were better statistically and swept the Wizards 4-0.
The Raptors ended up losing that game as well as the next 3 and were eliminated.
Fast forward to this year.
The Raptors are the 2 seed. The city is once again electric and full of optimism. A few stats in the Raptors favor:
Raptors won the season series 3-1.
- The Pacers are the worst team in the East against teams above 0.500
- The Raptors are the 3rd best team (only behind GSW & SAS) against teams above 0.500.
- The Pacers are 13-31 when their opponent scores more than 100 and the Raptors did that against them 3 times.
- The Raptors are statistically much better than the Pacers.
I figured the Raptors couldn't possibly crush my bet in the exact same situation 2 years in a row. A home game against a team that there is no reason they should lose to on paper.
Fast forward 3 agonizing hours later, they lose 100-90.
I hope that the Raptors get swept, I hope my city cries, and I hope they never have success. Ever.
Before you accuse me of being salty, I'd like to say.
I AM DEFINITELY SALTY.
