Yes, losing is awful. The way this Toronto Raptors season has started so far has not been enjoyed by anyone. The first person to say it is Pascal Siakam: losing is awful. However, Toronto doesn’t really care what the record says about this year.
It is difficult because we are all very competitive, want to win, and prepare for every game to give ourselves the best chance of succeeding. However, we also learned what the priorities are,” Rajaković stated on Sunday. “That’s realizing this team’s big picture, the change we’re going through, and how we need to keep developing.
The Raptors are going through a transitional period, and Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley, and a few other young role players will eventually lead this team. One day, the intention is to be in the same position as the Boston Celtics, atop the Eastern Conference, after assembling a strong core around their two stars of comparable age.
