Will we see a full lineup tonight to prep or will someone rest? Positioning still up in the air so there is something to play for. Hornets are in scrimmage mode so I think even with a short bench tonight we should be able to bookend the regular season with home wins! BTW anyone remember game 1 vs the Hawks? And here we are 81 later and headed for playoffs again! Let's see what this group will do hopefully over the next 6 weeks! Let's go Raptors!:thumb:

The inconsistency of the Raptors is so frustrating. Look no further than JV as the epitome of this. I will be happy if they win a playoff series but I don't hold out much hope in the 2nd round if they manage to get there. Baby steps I guess.
How far they go will depend on 3 things. 1. Lowry getting his game back 2. Rebounding on defensive end 3. The Johnsons

totally agree... JV needs to do some cardio this off season, or some type of quickness training...some games he can't keep up with the smaller more agile centers in the league and looks slow and clumsy playing against them ..smh....The inconsistency of the Raptors is so frustrating.

Last year they went into the playoffs as one of the hottest teams and that didn't translate into playoff success .. Playoffs means whole new season and so let's hope they learn from last years experienceThe inconsistency of the Raptors is so frustrating. Look no further than JV as the epitome of this.

Good win tonight. Set another franchise record for wins. Good to see Lowry getting his shot back. I have a feeling about this team. Bulls are currently getting pounded by the Hawks. 14 poijnts up from the last update. I would love to play the Bucks. The ACC and Jurassic Park will be rocking this Saturday. I hope I don't have to wait 4 hours like last year to get in.
There we have it. The time we have all been waiting for, after a schizophrenic season, (great start, mediocre-to-bad finish) it's PLAYOFFS!
Washington Wizards. John Wall, Bradley Beal, Nene, Gortat and that bastard Paul Pierce. I don't know what to make of this team. They have a lot of talent but they never really took off this season and the Raptors won all 3 games played so it would seem like a favorable matchup. However, they won a round against the Bulls last year so they are already more experienced and battle-tested than the Raptors. Honestly, I'm worried about this series. Their coach sucks, so that's a plus, but the Raps are really gonna have to bring it. I see 7 games for sure.
Let's hope my sig pic girl shows up and distracts them!

Did you know the Raps rested their hottest player last night and the Celtics are 8-1 in last nine games .. Heck the Raps had won previous 3 games .. Their roster has everyone injury free for first time in awhile .. Playoffs this weekend Go Raps Go
Lett me add .. The Celics are 22-9 in last 31 games .
TW, the ultimate +1 ! :thumb::hail: ..that sig girl...sigh! Wiz will be a handful so game 1 is critical and crucial. Let's use home court to its advantage in this round and defend it! Let's go Raptors!:clap2::canada::cheer2:There we have it. The time we have all been waiting for, after a schizophrenic season, (great start, mediocre-to-bad finish) it's PLAYOFFS!

Wizard are like the Raps .. hot start 31-13 and mediocre ending .. Both teams slotted perfect at 4th and 5th ..Was it not a good thing we finished 4th?...Now we have to beat Washington and then the winner of Atlanta/Brooklyn, only having to meet Cleveland in the conference final if we get that far???????
Weird that two top team last year Heat and Pacers are out of the playoffs and the Bucks worse team in league last year made the playoffs ..
Still 1200 tickets left on stub hub as low as $90
I would have guessed it was a sellout. I guess out of 18,000 it's not bad.

Fuck what a shit Saturday .. The Raps lose and leafs lose the lottery ... The sports gods keep pissing on this city
If the Raptors lose in the first round again, I can't see them bringing back Casey next year. The expectations for this year were to win one series and get to the second round, another first round exit would be a major disappointment.
I wish the Raptors played Milwaukee instead of Washington. Milwaukee is young with no playoff experience, and they don't have superstars on their team like John Wall, or future Hall of Famers like Paul Pierce. Too many people are focusing on avoiding Cleveland in the second round by playing Washington in the first round, but by facing Washington there may not be a second round for the Raptors.

StubHub is a resell agency. As far as the Raptors were concerned the game was a sell-out.Still 1200 tickets left on stub hub as low as $90

Ga-damn how about we wait until if and when the Raptors lose the series.If the Raptors lose in the first round again, I can't see them bringing back Casey next year.

The Raptors have a 1-6 playoff series record after losing the first game of the series, and 0-4 if you count their record after losing the first game in 7 game series'. I hope and wish this time is different, but we'll see. Meanwhile, the Bulls will likely sweep a weak and inexperienced Bucks team, lucky them.

Gilbert Arenas (remember him?) is seen trolling Raptors fans in the back of his Raptor pick-up truck.
This is his caption on Instagram: "O CANADA that is called a old fashion spanking…all those Canadian watching outside on the big screen like it was a #torontomapleleafs championship game..now take yall silly asses home..#Thetruth just set you free #PaulPbaby.#WiznationGAME1"
What an idiot.

My sig pic girl was back in action yesterday! Anyone catch her or have the screen shot of it?
Holy cow, Raptors were brick city yesterday. What's with all the jump shots after you realize they're not going down? Get in the paint and get some free throws. De Rozan only 5 attempts, Amir only 3 attempts and Lou Williams and Vazquez no free throws attempted at all!
Get with it, I'm tired of this choking stuff. And hey, Lowry, might wanna show up next game, that was the guy I was worried I'd see after he signed that big contract. We need the guy from the first 40 games of this year.
