Who can Lowry defend? he clearly cant defend Augustin...

It is comedic at this point. Fucking analytics? bullshit. A whole new set of players and coaching stuff? Who gives a fuck! Winning homecourt? That's cute. Game 1 superstition. That's the one chief

Raptors gonna be Raptors

I dunno, I think this is one of those cases where +/- means squat.

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.

[JimiCliff]

A ton of wide open looks doesn't hurt

There were some, but there's always some. They also made tough ones. On the whole, they shot way above their weight today.

Lowry by the way is not the reason we lost. He was a +11. The only starter that was positive for us in the line up. Fred's -16 sure didn't help.

You stat guys watch the game. I had this convo earlier all Lowry has to do is 10 pts he had 0. Did u know he was a all star this year. Hit your open fucking jumpers that’s it.

Stop it.

Sportsnet pulled it up for me. We've won one game 1, in 11 attempts.

we've won 5 series out of 10 attempts...but 1 game 1

[Tmac2darak]

This is why home court advantage means squat. Bah I dont take no stock in 1st games this early in playoffs. Brooklyn beat 76ers too.

[The Claw Reborn]

You forgot to capitalize the last few words.

In case you still dont see it but i left a bit there at the end to still give you hope and more excuse for this coach

”chugging along to get healthy” remember?

[KeonClark]

Orlando shot 50% from three. That's game right there. A little bit of kudos to them, but they also pulled a bunch of shots out their butts.

A ton of wide open looks doesn't hurt

[Scraptor]

So, where's the guy who said he feels calm about the playoffs. This is the raptors, nothing will be easy.

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.
