Amazing game! So proud of these guys. Winning game one is crazy enough, but winning a game where the refs were not on our side, Vuc and Ross had bad games, and it was away, is just insane and beyond what I could have expected. DJ was huge obviously. The bench crew did a good job as well, especially getting them back into the game after blowing the lead they built. They just never gave up and played hard the whole game and they got the W. Man, that win after all the years of struggling, feels so damn good.

Wouldnt necessarily make us better imo... this team is gritty and balanced. Elf could never shoot, Tobias gets numbers but i dont think he impacts results much. Vic is the one i feel we should have kept, but we ended up with T Ross kinda if you factor in that we moved Serge for Ross, so overall im happy with that.

We need to keep this team together at all costs. We have a lot of guys on the trend upwards. Even guys like Wes, Khem and MCW are all showing they belong.

Agreed wholeheartedly.

Leonard and Siakam both hit several INCREDIBLY difficult shots over good defense. Tip of the cap to those guys for good shotmaking.

Isaac playing 40 minutes for the first time in his career in his playoff debut brings a tear to my eye.

Luckily we have home court advantage in the first round now.

I think I saw Tobias had 7 points in 40 minutes. Haven't been able to watch games today. I'm not sure what Brand was thinking.

isaac has crazy poise for someone with so little experience. those tayshaun prince comparisons are really accurate.

With an extra day before Game 2, I expect Toronto to come out on a mission and settle a 1-1 series by the mid-3rd quarter.

Do not let such an event move you. We have home court advantage and we have been TOUGH to beat in Orlando recently.

For all Raptor fans wanting a clear sweep there is still a chance

Start the chant, my man! I’m up here in Brooklyn getting drunk with Nets fans.

Absolutely. Just look at the attention he's getting on DJ's game winner... 42% 3pt shooter left open.

Hopefully we figure out how to get Vuc, Ross and AG going next game... Raps are playing some tough interior defense and daring others to step up. DJ having such a big game and the team grinding out a win could open it up for our key guys next game.
