PG: Kawhi GOAT

Watching the highlights from the game last night, and noticed how the crowd was lacking in excitement at times. Need the crowd to be louder imo. Watched the Spurs and Denver game their crowd was rocking! Why can't we do the same?

Yeah it was so cool to see so many in attendance - but for the record, Kyle's wife is practically at every home game.

There has been no real drama yet. If this were a nailbiter or Game 7, you'd bet the crowd would be even more engaged.

Personally, I'd rather keep rolling in drama-free series wins.

This is Denver's first playoff appearance in awhile, so of course their crowd will be more excited....the Raptors will need a long playoff drought before we experience another 2014-15 Nets playoff series crowd. Also it was a game 7 so stakes are high.

Going to need some other guys to make some shots with some consistency.

Just because guys have a bad game in one doesn't mean they won't in another. Every game is still its own animal. During round 1 we had guys like Lowry, Norm and Ibaka go from "off" one game and "on" in another. They struggled in Game 1 but they weren't really trying to get going either because the top 2 guys were rolling. If Siakam and Kawhi are off in another game someone else is probably more open.

Crowd was fire at the game ! Not sure what noise was like on Sportsnet 1. But the place was loud!

Kawhi is amazing, and we are blessed to have this starting 5 right now.

What a time to be a raptors fan

I think this is topic worthy.

The Raptors have turned into the team everyone thought they could be. As if Game 1 of 1st round was needed.

It’s pointless and already been stated a gazillion times. Some people here still don’t understand how loud it is at the arena. The game is severely miked down at courtside for Sportsnet broadcasts. Another reason why I wish we could watch US national feed.

It’s like the Orlando game 1 was your initial wake up time of 6:30am on your phone. We decided to press the “snooze” button and sleep for another 8 minutes. When we finally wake up which would be about 6:52am and you need to out of the house by 7am, we (the raptors) woke up and dialed in. Ever since that moment, maybe offensively we haven’t been the most consistent in terms of everyone besides siakam and Leonard, but our D has been so elite that it’s giving us the opportunities to run away with games.

Honestly we didn't do jack beside Kawhi+Siakim destroying which is all we need. We just need 1 more to step up the task on gaurding JJ and this series is a sweep and wrap

The D has been so elite that all it takes is Siakam and Leonard to score 50% or more of the points and we’ll still win.

Does anyone have stats on what our record is when Kawhi and Siakam combined score more than 50% of the points?

Happy Sunday to the Realgm Fam btw

I watched the TNT feed as well and the noise does seem relatively lower compared to past series. Also not sure why there were so many late arrivals for this game....the courtside seats were empty to start the first. I've never seen that at a Raptors playoff game before.

Stated by Our broadcast team that there was a ton of traffic / construction. Urged people to get here earlier for Monday’s game
