GAME 1, 2019 Playoffs, Orlando Magic @ Toronto Raptors, 5pm EST, Sportsnet One

We should still win this series.. going to be like that Milwaukee series. Win in 6.

I liked having Green on DJ. That was a good defensive strategy in the second half. Siakam got more confident as the game went on which is going to be good going forward. Kyle will hit a bucket eventually. And I'm sure Kawhi will get more than 33 minutes going forward.

I really didn't like the Serge/Marc duo though. Serge is robotic and takes up too much room in the paint. I understand the reasoning since Orlando plays big.. but it didn't work.

So I see we're back to being the laughing stock of the league again.

Philly is so lucky they played after us lol..

Nurse Lowry was a plus fuck your stats

[Jangles]

It's way more than passing. He made Vucevic basically disappear today.

Comparing their most dominant parts of their games. JV and Marc are pretty comparable on D at this stage.

if you want to rest Kawhi you know what's a good rest? playing 4 games instead of 5-7. Idiotic

Agree.

This game is for every person that said Lowry is better than Conley

Some here thinks he's better than Kemba and Irving too.

[MixxAOR]

we been down this road before though. It's just annoying

[tDotted]

The one thing I don't understand is why Kawhi only played 33 minutes. WTF is that all about?

Yeah the whole point of load management is to play him more when it actually counts...............

Nurse to still load manage Green and Kawhi in favor of Van Vleet and Powell is beyond me.

Also, what are people's thoughts on the Gasol for JV swap now, 2 months later? Is his passing more valuable to this team than JVs rebounding?
