This notion that "they played terrible and still won" is false. The Raptors have the best defense of the playoffs and it is not even close. They had a tough time because we made them have a tough time.
They played good D too, of course, but in terms of their half court O, they were pretty mediocre, whereas the problem was transition buckets (many from points off TOs) and second chance points. Grab the rebounds, don't turn it over, and if you do, get back on D and in your spot right away.

Bucks must feel somewhat good that they won, but Toronto controlled that game through out. I think the game was lost because of fatigue, but the pace was crazy for the first three quarters. This is a pretty fun match-up. Giannis is intimidating but nothing like the collective that Philly had.
Game 1 is always the one home teams have the most support. Then Game 2 people get comfortable and slip-up. Toronto just needs to grind this out. Siakam is going to respond with some big threes in Game 2. Danny Green will also make an impact. I also expect Gasol to keep Lopez off the boards. 8 points from O-Boards is way too much.

We need to win this series.
Our guys deserve to go to the NBA Finals!
Not the f***ing BUCKS
Giannis has plenty of future opportunities. Now is our time!!
I need to see the NBA Finals Logo on our court

Haters need to chill. We lost Game 1 on the road to the best team in the East. Lopez also played out of his mind for the Bucks to get that W. They are a really good team, we knew that coming in, it was never going to be easy.
Our focus should be on trying to steal home court in Game 2. If not, come back to Toronto and take care of business at home. Thats what it's like when you get this deep.

Lopez game 1 is their DJ Augustin.
Wouldn't be surprised if we win in 5

This will be a blowout loss. We missed a golden opportunity man. Bucks 5, possibly 4.

We almost won that game with our 2 top scorers both playing like hot garbage.
You think the bucks will shot that poorly again?
Mirotic 1/6 3pt
middleton 1/6 3pt
bledsoe 0/6 3pt
ersan 1/4 3pt
Most were wide open. George hill didn't even make a fg and he's a raptor killer.
They were clearly rusty and Lowry won't play at that level again.

It goes both ways.

Who is harder to stop over a 7 game series, a bunch of Role players or our #1+#2 options?

Looks like you are so sure that tomorrow is going to suck for the Raptors.
Are you still watching tomorrow’s game even though you know it will be a blow out? Are you wagering a significant amount of money?

We could win this by 10 or lose by 30. I have no idea which way it could go.

The Bucks played like crap yesterday and still won. I hope we can pull off a win tomorrow night but I have a bad feeling.LoveMyRaps wrote:VinBaker6 wrote:I'm actually feeling really good about this series.
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.

It goes both ways.
I trust Kawhi to play better, siakam possibly, but whatever lead the starters build, the bench will just ruin. Need the bench to go even or beat the bucks bench.

Least worrisome Loss I've ever seen us have in the Playoffs. When PHI beat us they would just annihilate us. These guys squeak past lol, they need miracles
Game 1 ORL was worse

Honestly don’t even care about the blazers warriors series. Whoever wins this series is winning the championship.
