Teams who win Game 1s end up winning the series most of the time.

But don't worry guys, still a 7-game series everywhere. Boston was down 0-2 two years ago in the first-round.

Nightmare opener for Lowry.


Kawhi did everything they could have asked.  Siakam the same.


Magic are a super well coached team.  Clifford is underrated.


Gordon and Isaac played their butts off on defense.

Augustin is an assassin.

Raptors continuing their tradition of losing playoff basketball. 😂

Orlando gets in their heads ( Lowry ) ,  no show .....anything can happen

[SparzWizard]

We're poised to see one more upset tonight when the Spurs silence the Nuggets crowd.

And that'll be it. Warriors will cream the Clippers sadly.

Underrated aspect of that win is how tough Orlando played them all game long. Orlando looked like a really good 7 seed. Incredible defensive sacrifice by some of their guys.

Wow Lowry with a whooping 0 points I don't understand why he can't score in the playoffs like what the hell? Not even open looks or free throws maybe his plan was to screw the Raptors in the post season because they screwd his friend lool.


Still think Toronto wins credit to Orlando they hit some incredibly difficult shots.

Kyle Lowry SUCKSSSS

[SHAQATTACK]

Raptors have the most to loose than anybody .

If they drop the first round

They are looking at a rebuilding year next year .....Ibaka, Gasol, Lowry will be traded , let go.  ....Kawhi will be a Clipper

its do or,die for Raptors future.

yeah the Magic really put in a great effort to rotate on def.  Even though KL had 25, it felt it was a lot of work for him to get that 25.  Gordon and Isaac were tough on him.

The Celtics really lucked out in the 1st round matchup. Orlando is such a long rangy team and Brooklyn is really streaky...

Maybe the Celtics ought to play the Bucks in the second round lol.

But seeing all these upsets today...the Celtics need to go into a must-win mentality tomorrow over the Pacers.

That Gasol trade is already looking really bad.

A quick rebuild with Wright and Valanciunas still on the team would be a lot easier.

Cs have already dropped 2 series when leading 2-0...any best of seven series is a dogfight until one team leads by 3-1 or 3-0.

Isaac, Gordon, Vucevic is quite a defensive front.
