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

Come on man, don't defend the indefensible. You can't have your starting PG score 0 points.

I'm not.. 0 points is brutal. But come on his game changed early this year. He's the Marc Gasol of point guards. He makes winning plays. And he did that today. +11 in a 3 point loss. How does that happen if he wasn't good?

The runs Orlando made were when Kyle was sitting.

[The Great One]

Lowry choking in the playoffs is *in Jim Nantz voice* a tradition like no other.

[grindhouse]

Lowry time in Toronto is over book it

[The Claw Reborn]

Where was that offensive strategies that he was bragging about that he is keeping for the playoffs so other teams wont have a chance to scout if he laid it out in the regular season?

more of the same.

Bullshit

[JimiCliff]

It was me. Even though this loss sucks, I still feel calm about the playoffs.

Adversity will be good for a team that didn't take things very seriously all year. And a consistent schedule with everyone playing every game should build our chemistry.

Everything will be ok.

Me too. There was a lot to like this game. We need to figure out a way to get Vanvleet out against Augustine though. (Just bring Lowry off the bench, right?)

[tDotted]

This isn't on anyone but Kyle fucking Lowry. I'm at a loss for words

[Jangles]

He only took 7 shots (6 threes). Had 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and only 2 turnovers. He was actually pretty good. We concentrate on his scoring but that's not his game anymore.

Nurse only having Kawhi out there for 33 minutes sure didn't help.

Come on man, don't defend the indefensible. You can't have your starting PG score 0 points.

[sanyo]

Well Philly also lost... so we werent the only home court to lose.

[MixxAOR]

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?

Well you gotta take his injury into account. If he gets injured with Raps then what?

[The Great One]

[The Claw Reborn]

Remembered Nurse blatantly left Van Vleet guarding Jrue Holiday against New Orleans and Reggie Jackson of the Pistons

[RaptorsVictim]

Day after day, I still believe that we made a huge mistake by trading JV, you can not trade a guy like JV for M Gasol to match against the Bucks , that is a fucking stupid move. Both Massai and Colangelo did some great moves but ruined everything by a stupid move.
