Happy Easter weekend everyone

Looks like Zion Williamson isn't a curse like Drake
Even Charles Barkley booted the guaranteed win promise.

Refs don't matter. Just look at Kawhi's face. It's over already.

All three games last night were won by teams that won the first quarter. GSW took control early and stayed solid until it was over. Looking for a big Q1 for Raps in Game 3....

If we play defense at least as well as Orlando does, there’s no way they can keep up with us offensively. As long as we don’t let up defensively this will be a clean win

Short sleeves while the person in front of him and behind him are in a hoodie/jacket? I like it, that's a man of the NORTH. He stay.

No more 3-day waits between games till the second round.

Let's get down to business.

[The Great One]

Ah a road playoff game. 4 words - Don't. Get. Blown. Out.

Kawhi hates the sun confirm.

Absolutely pumped. Hoping for a solid road win by playing tough D, take care of the ball, Lowry continue to be aggressive and guys other than Kawhi start hitting open 3's, Last game Siakam, Green, Powell, FVV, Meeks combined to hit only a single 3P FG between them (1 - 17?)...that will not be the case tonight. Go Raps Go.

Really looking forward to this game. The only thing I'm dreading is hearing Leo say "Simple basketball" or "you know you're gonna get the ball back so you can pass" or "give it to the big fella". That and his constant praising of the Magic players and being mad when they make a mistake.

Pretty quiet for a game day. Everyone afraid to jinx things by saying I WANT TO SEE A BLOWOUT.

Well, I'm not. I absolutely expect the Raptors to pick up where they left off, except with more confidence.

Yeah, I'm intrigued to see what the Magic try tactically to free up Vooch, but if the Raptors keep it simple like last game it won't matter. If the Raptors keep their foot on the gas every game is a comfortable win for the rest of the series.

Awesome, the man taking the photo is getting the 'wtf you doing man' look. Interesting to see what Orlando tries to do to a) try and contain Kawhi b) get it's offence flowing. Similarly, does Nurse throw a few wrinkles into the game plan. We do have McCaw available, however I wouldn't want to see all 4 or 5 bench guys playing at the same time as our offence tends to go AWOL. Nurse did that often in the reg. season and it typically was a disaster. I don't see it happening tonight as so far, Nurse has used a 9-man rotation with the ninth man, Meeks, getting very limited minutes.

It's time to take this series over.
