"So it was something of a surprise when, on Valentine's Day, my boss started her show that day with a tirade about my friend. I didn't know they had broken up. But she went into some detail about the event and his emotional failings, and she had topical breakup songs to go with it. All I could think was, 'what a pro.' It was great radio."
"The Toronto Raptors could have learned something from my old boss. In a game against the Washington Wizards that clearly didn't have the full attention of those Raptors that were available, the team couldn't hunker down and churn out a pretty fantastic show. In fact, it couldn't do much of anything other than placidly watch the worst team in the league splatter Toronto's dignity all over the hardwood."
A radio host delivered a professional, high-quality show on Valentine’s Day despite fresh heartbreak, demonstrating discipline and performance under emotional strain. The Toronto Raptors failed to show that same professional focus in a game against the Washington Wizards, appearing disengaged and allowing an inferior opponent to dominate. The Raptors are undermanned without RJ Barrett and Jakob Poeltl and cannot rely solely on talent. Success requires winning the glass, controlling possessions, forcing turnovers, and setting the tempo in transition and the half court. The Raptors failed to force turnovers, clean their glass, protect the ball, or secure offensive rebounds, yielding possession parity to a poor team.
