  • Playoff Schedule.

    The full playoff schedule will be released Thursday. We know, however , that Leafs have home games scheduled Mon April 17 Wed April 19 and Sunday April 23. That means game #2 will be Tues April 18. Game #1 will be either Sat or Sun (15/16th) but given past history most likely Sat at noon. Wizards game 1 will be Sunday April 17 as Capitals/Leafs game Sat April 16. Celtics could start either Sat or Sunday as no home Bruins game. Cavs traditionally start Sunday at 330 for ABC. That means to me that will most likely will start Saturday. Given the choice of an early start time for us vs Celtics .....well we all know what that means. IF this is the case I STRONGLY SUGGEST ANY RAPTORS STAFF THAT READ THIS FORUM START PREPARING AS THOUGH WE ARE STARTING GAME 1 SATURDAY AT NOON. We have lost too many game 1's at home in our history.

          No doubt we play the earliest.

            Yeah I mean playing an early game is pretty much inevitable. Look at the bottom teams in the East.. Milwaukee, Atlanta, Indiana. Nobody wants to see those teams on national tv, especially during prime time.

            Raptors will get a sh!t playoff schedule. Oh well.. it is what it is. Just hope Casey has them ready.

              It shouldn't be too bad. They have like 2 days to change their schedule (plus they had the NYK game to get use to it).

                Plus it's the same for the other team. I don't get this early game fear, why would the raptors be at a particular disadvantage to their opponent?

                If you're also a jays fan you've had 2 straight years of first round WEEKDAY day games, now those fucking suck

                  Could someone explain why it's tougher for the Raptors to have an early start than it is for our opponent? Do we have more late night partiers than other teams?
                  If we knew half as much about coaching an NBA team as we think, we"d know twice as much as we do.

                    The Raps aren't about to make any excuses. We'll start slow no matter what the schedule says

                            Haha, spot on also with the "Hey, you got a haircut!" without the compliment. Very Canadian way of saying "You look like a dope with that new haircut."
