My biggest fear is that we come out super nervous and start the game off getting our asses kicked.

Let's remember that the Blazers led for more minutes than the Warriors last series, yet somehow got swept. They're clearly vulnerable, but they're cold blooded closers. We need to finish them off. Can't have a repeat of Bucks Game 1.

Can't take any risks tonight. Raps always play a little better when I don't post frequently during games, so I'll pay my respects at tip off and then bounce.

BTW Nurse needs to be on the ball tonight. No hesitation to call timeout, pull somebody, make an adjustment etc. Cousins is active and could destroy the entire Raps roster on the boards. Nurse needs to be ready to go big to neutralize that and Gasol has to take and make his perimeter shots to keep Cousins out of the pain on the defensive glass.

I could see it happening but I think the arena is gonna be going wild which could power the team.

Still hasn't really hit me. Maybe because we're in town and inoculated from the outside noise

Really wish it was red night again. Didn't 'the shot' happen on red night? Feels like Raps are a team with no official colors. lol. Should go red, or go purple to represent the entire history of the franchise. This ain't the time to wear black. It isn't our funeral. It's the resurrection of finals mvp Kawhi.

Boogie in the starting lineup works in our favor. It takes away shots from Steph and Klay while also slowing them down in transition and overall offensively.

The only concern is that Gasol might get in some foul trouble and that always creates uncertainty for us because we are somewhat thin up front if Either of our Cs get a couple early fouls.

Either way, this is such a momentous day that has been a long time coming for us Raptors fans. Let’s enjoy this!!!

I feel like since the Orlando series we always let the other team get the lead and then we eventually turn on the switch and win. Can’t do that vs the warriors.

Shot was white, but I like the red

Game 5 Milwaukee and Game 7 against Philly was nerve-racking. This is game 1

That’s what’s gonna happen, then we’ll settle down and take the lead.
