When was the last time a team, more shorthanded than the Raptors, beat the Raptors?

Raptors lost a lot of Game 1s. I feel for Bucks lmao. But this is not serious

Bud didn't get the memo that the playoffs started.

He played a regular season rotation.

and there were some Raptors fans complaining after the Raptors beat the Nets by only 24....smh

The Bucks played with regular season intensity this entire game. Magic played tougher and Bud got out coached by Steve Clifford LMAO.

People will bring up Game 1 vs Raptors last year, but that game was a down to the last possession coinflip win for the Magic. This win over the Bucks they were in control the whole time. Bucks couldn't and won't be able to use HCA to gain momentum back due to the bubble effect, they got issues to sort out. Really impressive by the Magic to do this without Isaac, Gordon too.

Bud team collapsing in the playoffs? I am shocked and appalled

So glad we got the Nets. We would win in 4 or 5 but the games are so frustrating to watch.

The Magic are terrible and missing several key players. Yeah, it's on the Bucks.

Biggest mistake the Bucks made was picking Bledsoe over Brogdon. I knew at the time they signed Bledsoe and let Brogdon go that they would regret that decision. I also wanted the Raptors to go for Brogdon aggressively, huge fan of him. He's exactly what they need right now.

I mean if you even play him 40 minutes there, you probably win the game (or it is at least close at the end). What have you been resting him the entire season for if not to play 40 there?

No idea what that guy is doing.

I wouldn’t read too much into this. After all we lost game one to the Magic’s and then they went back to being the magics.

Red_Claw · Post #595 » by **Red_Claw** » Tue Aug 18, 2020 8:19 pm

Bucks will win the series and i know its just 1 game but this showed me that Milwaukee isin't the same team they were last year.

Again, one game. I think all but one Orlando player who played significant minutes played well over their averages.

And1+2 · Post #596 » by **And1+2** » Tue Aug 18, 2020 8:19 pm

That was satisfying, but I expect the Bucks to win in 5.

They are NOT getting passed the Heat though.

Raptors have never been the number 1 seed. Raptors have not lost a game 1 against a short-handed team.

Number 1 seeds do not lose game 1 against a short handed team.

Different scenarios though. Last year, Orlando was rolling heading into the playoffs (22-9 in the last 31 games) and they were healthy. G1 was also much closer and it took them shooting nearly 50% on threes. This year, Orlando had been struggling (lost 5 straight in the bubble before squeaking by the Pelicans) and they're missing two very key players. They crushed the Bucks - who have been bad lately too - in almost every way.

If I'm a Bucks fan, I'm pretty worried. Not because Orlando might knock them out, but teams like Miami/Boston/Toronto all have much better shooters and they'll have the same looks generated against Milwaukee's defence.

Meh.

Bucks will be back.

Hardly excited here.

#1 seed in the East is cursed....just look at the last 20 years...so happy the Raptors are the 2nd seed
