Congratulations, man! Hope everyone is happy and healthy!

If you’re going to be a good team, you need to find myriad ways to win, and that includes grinding out ugly games. We’re obviously far from the best version of this squad, but you’ll take a 2-0 start however you can get it.

I’m a big fan of Walter’s game, man. Sticky, poised. Still lots of room to grow. Can’t wait to see how things unfold for him this year.

The calling card of the 2019 squad was its lockdown defense. Completely different team now in a million ways, but just fun to see another Kawhi-led, defense-first Raps roster.

It’s early days, and the Raptors’ offense will improve over time. The defense, however, is already so good that it’s making up for all the clunkiness on the other end.
