Going to be a battle. Let's see if Mosley can improve his playoff coaching ability.

Man...these tournament courts have generally looked like a$$ but ours actually looks pretty nice. Interested to see how it looks on broadcast though.

The raptors' 3pt shooting is almost as bad as ours. Rebounding is a strength for them. They're big. I dont like this matchup. We have to make our FTs.

There is not one team that i want to beat more than Raptors. We seem to have enough big bodies to throw on Barnes and Siakam.
My money is on Banchero going number 1 !

To me, this game comes down to who plays better between Paolo/Franz and Barnes/Siakim.

We have a much better bench. Hopefully the crowd is hype for the tournament.

Raptors match up well with us. This should be interesting.

I think this game ultimately comes down to how easily Franz and Paolo are able to score. OG and Barnes are good defenders.

This should be a close battle on paper. Do the Raptors have all of their main guys healthy still? (no, Thad "The Fossil" Young doesn't count at this point) If so, they seem to have a talent advantage theoretically, at least in terms of offense.

Even so, let's skin these Barneys and keep our Cup hopes alive a while longer. Hopefully the court looks legit and the crowd is pumping tonight.

Let's Go Magic!!!!!

Let’s win this boys. I’m back at work tonight so I’d love to come and see another beat down of a box score.

Easy letdown game after a great road trip. I'll be impressed with their focus if they win this. They'd better bring the defense because scoring points is going to be harder than it was against Indiana.

Man I really want this one( I'll be at the game lol)!!! I'm not sure how this one will go since Toronto is a big team. They may casue fits for us getting into the lane. If they play anyway they did against Indiana they can pull it out for sure.

This one is very important becasue you can maybe chalk up the next 2 after as Ls. Plus it's the in season game so it would be awesome to win one at home.

Please give me that win orlando!!! No second half come backs if you have a lead.

Is Kevon Harris still on the team? Noticed he hasn't been listed anywhere in game threads at all (injured or two-way assigned) - could use him for defense to protect leads at end of games vs. the chuckers we currently have at the end of the bench

Goga needs to have a strong game. Maybe add additional physicality when Barnes is near.

Have fun at the game but don’t leave after the first quarter-even if it’s horrible. :)

I believe he’s injured or at lease inactive.

We split the series with them last year, each team winning their 2 home games

Small sample size, but huge splits from our two best players last year that show why

Paolo Banchero
@ Home: 21.5/9/4.5 on 56/38/80 shooting
@ Toronto: 10.5/2/3 on 33/14/70 shooting

Franz Wagner
@ Home: 28.5/4/3 on 62/56/89 shooting
@ Toronto: 9/.5/3.5 on 41/38/100 shooting

Hopefully we get those Home versions again tonight

Also as others have mentioned, Suggs plays the Raptors as well as any time. Maybe a chip from getting passed on by them? He's averaged 20/3/5 on 45/42/93 splits in his 3 career games vs them.
