Hopefully this lights a fire under their ass. If not, the Bucks are going to devour their soul

Siakam is SO poised too. Not rattled by anything. You guys have a great player there. It’s going to be a good series. I’m obviously hopeful for the upset, but Toronto is a real team.


With all due respect, a bad game is shooting 5-15.

A disastrous performance is going for ZERO points in a statement game.

What the heck is going on with Bamba, I haven't been following the Magic....


I was going to ask that too, as well as with Fultz. Are both hurt, or are the Magic just waiting for next season to feature them?


Bamba was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his tibia in early February. He's out for the season.

Fultz was pretty much ruled out for the rest of this season the moment Orlando traded for him. The Magic wanted to give him as long as humanly possible to rehab before training camp starts in September.

Regardless man, keep on fighting. I hope your guys keep on believing. It's inspiring to me. As I wrote in our game thread. It reminds me of us and who we were for as long as I remember C's basketball.

Sad for Bamba. Young dude. I had big expectations for him.

Kinda drunk, too... :o
Good assessment:

Bambar.. they probably to take the Isaac route with him.. rookie season play a few games and shuy down the rest to build him up to.endure an 82 game season.

Fultz... we knew he was hurt. We never expected hom to be back this season.

I said the Raptors always lose Game 1 and all the Raptors fans yelled at me and said it was only cause of Derozan and Casey.

Well look who ended up being right?

More random facts from today's game. One the Raptors best line ups this year FVV/DG/KL2/PS/MG was a team worst -16 in five total minutes. They had a +16.5 NRTG on the season. We are in the upside down.

Definitely a fluke win. Raptors will still comfortably win this series.

Not sure they're coming out of the East though. I trust Kawhi. Its everyone else I don't.

I trust Kawhi to quit on his team and start dreaming about LA if the magic win game 2.
