Game Day, early start let's go!

Dowtin will be Luka's worst nightmare.

Or maybe Flynn,,,?

I was dreading a kids birthday party tonight and pissed I would not be able watch most of the game. After the first 3 minutes I’m looking forward to getting on the road!

Trapping Luka is already backfiring, but Nurse needs to flex his coaching chops to show he’s a superstar stopper.

Alvin commenting on it as well. The blistering 4-16 start isn’t exactly helping. Takes them 3 or 4 shots in a possession to score.

Chris Boucher is the epitome of our team philosophy.

flynn was pounding the air out of the ball that last possession

[Jclaw]

As bad as that start was, it seemed like it was more about what we were doing wrong than what they were doing right

[Gonzz]

Second quarter was a whole new ballgame. Leading by 2 after down by 15. Think everybody quit on the team early.

[Gonzz]

Waiting for Siakam to resume playing so I can change my avatar back to Spicy P.should be sometime this week. Fingers crossed.

[TrueTorontoFan]

they are keeping their foot on the gas early

[TrueTorontoFan]

vanvleet started off that play well but needs to make that short roll pass to khem birch or at least identify the opportunity faster

[TrueTorontoFan]

bad possession there

[Gonzz]

We were up 2 after 2 now up 8 after 3. We win by 16. Psychic powers.
