I just don't know what to think anymore. Right now I think they're going to lose to the Bucks in 6, but maybe Saturday they'll look like world-beaters and then I'll think that they'll win the series in 6.

But it's not looking good right now. Something's wrong with this team. On paper they've got everything, the addition of Serge Ibaka has made them a lot better than last year talent-wise, but I'm afraid that those first two years of playoff failure along with the spotty playoff record of last year have done irreparable harm to the mental games of DeRozan and Lowry.

I suspect that every game they suit up in the playoffs they have to fight back the nagging worry that they might fuck up again like they did before. Sometimes they win the fight, and then sometimes, like tonight, they lose. Badly.
