NBA: 1st Round Matchup: Raptors vs. Magic

[marinoman]

Horrible pick and roll D by Nephew and Gasol, then airball by Nephew. What a sequence.

Lowry was your killer, but gasol for valenchunks and Wright, hasn’t worked all year. Not hating, am I wrong, they’ve looked worse 2nd half of season

[Raven]

Don't even know what you mean.

it doesn't matter, it's not that important

[Rosewood]

Drake about to abandon the raptors bandwagon like he abandoned his son.

Lmao yikes. Isn't Orlando the worst team in the playoffs too? I don't really know much about them at all.

Detroit is by far the worst playoff team and it isn't even close when you consider Griffin can't walk..

Orlando has been surprisingly good in the last 30 games..they're still going to lose this series, but they match up fairly well against both the Raptors and Sixers..

lol kawhi. glad i saw the end of the game

[resistanze]

Spoke too soon. That was a classic Demar ending by #2.

Definitely was , but Demar wouldn't even give you the first 46 minutes.

And no answer for DJ Augustin and Michael Carter-Williams.

How you think Derozan does tonight though?

[Millennial_Messiah]

Is it just me or do the Craptors lose Game 1 of Round 1 at home every single year in the playoffs? It seems it's been that way since 2007 every year they've made it.

Gasol has been decent and Ibaka cannot guard Vucevic. Wright and Valecuenas was never part of a long term plan so it made no difference since they're going for broke with one year of nephew.

What's funny looking at the box score is he goes 0-7 (0-6 3pt, 0-2 FT) and yet is the only starter with a positive +/- at +11

Plus minus is a dumbass stat, proven by when mills plays like dabom makes a thread bragging about his plus minus

[resistanze]

How you think Derozan does tonight though?

I'm terrified for playoff DeRozan. For his and the Spurs sake I hope he can actually surprise me tbh. This is a guy who had to believe benched in the 4th quarter last season.

Lowry will be the raps downfall. What a ing scrub

[HarlemHeat37]

Why? Last time I checked, DJ's metrics were pretty good.

Teams target him every game, one of the worst defensive players in the NBA..too bad Lowry couldn't take advantage

[Capt Bringdown]

uva game

[TDMVPDPOY]

raptors is a poor constructed team, outside of kawhi and green

they got chucker ibaka
they got monkey baller siakram, oyunabi
they got empty stats filler no defense players like lin, van fleet, lowry

powel and wright sometimes have their moments of hero ball off the bench with poor selection shooting

[koriwhat]

Ahahaha kawhi! This loss couldn't have happened to a bigger re than kawhi.

[Chris]

Ahahaha kawhi! This loss couldn't have happened to a bigger re than kawhi.

That airball

[lefty]

Fournier
algerian legend

[TDMVPDPOY]

3.5seconds for final play... yet goes kobe fade away 3ft away behind 3pt line... why didnt he dribble closer to the line and pull up?

[marinoman]

[ElNono]

Any Spurms fans gonna discuss how DJ Augustin schooled both Danny Green and Kawhi throughout the game and especially in the final two possessions of the game?
