Posting in the GT for good luck.

We need this W. I hope we can get the win!

Bucks are actually a worse team than Philly. We just need to mentally be stronger for the entire 48 minutes.

Let's go Raptors!

We got this.

Anticipated a bigger loss than what it was, but I think we steal game 2.

I think we should start: Lowry-Kawhi-Siakam-Ibaka-Gasol

Game 1 loss shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. We actually played pretty well up until the 4th. I'm confident we'll steal this one.

Same man.
I feel even better about the series than I did before yesterdays loss .
It's important we steal the next one because I can most definitely see us winning both games at home.

If there was a game to steal on the road, it was Game 1. They blew it but it's in the past.

Have to come out with that killer mentality again but sustain it for 48 minutes.

Also please bench FVV, Lin can't be any worse at this point.

Lin, McCaw, or even more minutes for Powell. VanVleet is still an issue on both ends of the court

I don't think we can afford to go down 2-0, and I'm sure the team knows that. I think they're going to come out like they did last night but continue to put pressure on the opposition like in G2 against Orlando. Milwaukee's a much better team than Orlando, so the game might be close heading into the 4th, but we'll be fine as long as Nurse learned his lesson in G1.

All of our starters can't be playing ~40 minutes. Gasol and Green in particular should be closer to the 30-32 range (assuming they're playing well), as they tend to become much less effective offensively if they play ~40 minutes. Conversely, Ibaka needs more than 17 MPG against the Bucks (most of his minutes should be with Lowry and a few other starters on the floor) and Powell deserved more burn in the 1st half when he was making an impact.

Less Fred and Danny G.
More minutes for Serge, with a big lineup, and a few more minutes for Norm who started great in game 1 before being benched.

Raptors +7.5 lock it now. Tons of line movement.

Serge needs to play more...in the regular season when Kawhi was out he was one of the main scoring options for us....He needs to play more cause our offense is struggling and Danny Green is doing nothing for us

I agree. Go big. Start Serge, sit Green for game 2.
