Raptor Fans and Glorification of Losing

And just like that, we have the NBA back! The lockout is officially over and the pre-season games are under way, various fan bases are across the League are flaming up with exaggerated hype or doom. How much I've missed that.

The bottom line is, however, that  we made it through the lockout and, if the attendance at the lone pre-season game, we're still going strong. Having said that, here is my biggest Holiday / New Year's wish to my fellow Raptor fans. Let the 'tank talk' become the thing of the past.
