Playoffs! Round 1, Game 1: Washington Wizards 106 - Toronto Raptors 114 (TOR 1-0)

[RaptorsVictim]

Great Game. good guys win. Delon played huge.

to be honest I think the reffing was pretty even this game. There was a point on the broadcast that clearly showed a loose ball go off Ibaka's knee and out of bounds when they reversed the call and the fans continued on with the refs you suck bit. pretty hilarious but a bad look for us ! Save that sh$t for when its actually needed.

Do not worry, they are saving it for Cavs.

Apart from the nervousness (imo) in the first half because of all the lead up talk about the team's first game record I think they play more confi going forward. The other element I liked the backcourt bros remained with the new program and didnt go iso. That was something I was afraid of.

Indeed! I especially give credit to Derozan for picking and choosing his spots - he wasn't always successful, had an off-night for the most part - but he stuck to the gameplan and played winning basketball overall.

My question here :
Did we defend Wall well ?

The fact that the team stuck to the gameplan is probably the biggest takeaway from this game

Lowry - Meh for most of the game.
OG - Cannot stay in front of Wall, but his length allows him leeway when he gets blown by, but not ideal.
Delon -

Pretty much. They won all the quarters but the second and some of that was a jittery bench and some WSH shotmaking.

[Truth Teller]

I'm surprised they didn't play OG more in the 4th. The kid was really good given his first playoff game.

The other big takeaway is that this team has so many pieces to match up to pretty much any team and any style.

[rocwell]

Fu*k Leafs.

[Truth Teller]

Wizards can't hang with us. Now that the monkey is off their back, they just need to continue to play their style. Casey needs to be the Gregg Popovich of this series while Scott Brooks is the Scott Brooks of the series.

The truth is : WIZARDS DO NOT MATCH UP WELL WITH US.
Whoever said they match up well, needs to check his basketball knowledge.
One game is not enough, but our roster will consume them, and every different game they will see a raptor coming huge from nowhere.

Fu*k Leafs.

Lol. Ah, Raps win. Leafs lose. All is right in the world.

Bebe's nickname needs to be the Spanish-League Inquisition. Because nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.

Between the Boston game and tonight, that's twice Casey's gone to Bebe in absolutely huge situations with lineups nobody's seen before, and both times it's totally confounded the other team.
