Synopsis: In my latest at Sportsnet, I wrote about Raptors 905 at the season reset mark, with notes about several key players coming out of the G League Showcase.
It was the type of tweet that team social media handlers must execute carefully when their team is in the throes of an extending losing streak. The Detroit Pistons X account can do little other than move the WingSpot logo around their post-game graphics. Other teams, when being blown out, resort to just posting a score update without further comment. You don’t want to lie to your audience and ignore the reality of a bad game or record, and threading the needle of being both engaging and realistic is difficult.
After Raptors 905 beat the Delaware Blue Coats on Dec. 12, the 905 account fired off a tweet that landed perfectly: “THEY DON’T WANNA SEE A HEALTHY 905.”
