    Amazing. Raptors can't win Game 1s.

    DeRozan and Harden are regular season superstars, guys who live at the line but obviously in the playoffs you don't get that type of love.

    I swear DeRozan scores more of his points from the line than from the field.

    Wait, I thought Lowry was better than Lillard?
    Lillard haters please inform me about how Lowry > Lillard.

    Raptors are now 0-8 in first game of playoffs and 1-11 in first game of any series. That is awful.

    Tunchi will tell us how the defense is the deciding factor, but... Lowry isn't a shut down defender in my eyes so I will take Dame's FAR superior offensive game.

    ... He got a T for that... What a joke.
    Greak freak can't celebrate like that, but Green will tomorrow.
    Worst T ever.

    My brother just told me "why do I never bet money on this game?" It's true. There are three certainties: death, taxes, and Raptors losing Game 1.

    Antetokounmpo erased DeRozan! DeRozan is going to have nightmares of Maker's, and Antetokounmpo's footsteps behind him.

    I don't know why, but I love when Canadian teams lose

    I reckon Thon Maker's defence at the start of the 3rd turned that game.

    Because of the Canadian's passive agressive, "smarter wiser" sibling complex they drop on us. And if anybody is going to object to this comment, Puuuhlease.

    I love watching Delly play. I love how he coaches his teammates while he's on the court. I think Delly will become Australia's greatest ever basketball coach, when he retires from playing.

    Giannis is a monster.

    His length is extremely disruptive on both ends - the Rudy Gobert of wings.
