Preview Raptors - Magic, Game 1: Playoffs return to Scotiabank Arena, put your PEL on Orlando
The second game of these Playoffs 2019 is the first of the series between Toronto and Orlando. On paper, there is no picture except that we know the reputation of the Raptors when it comes to play the best of seven games. Tonight, Kyle Lowry and his pals must break the curse from 11 pm
The Raptors and a Game 1 at home is like Gerard and watching the scoreboard, Booba and a leg workout or PSG and the Champions League, it's not going together. Toronto has made it a specialty to get in trouble of entry by conceding almost every year the first home game to his opponent. But many things have changed in Canada this season, Nick Nurse replaced Dwane Casey, Kawhi Leonard, Danny Green and Marc Gasol took the positions of DeMar DeRozan, Jakob Poeltl and Jonas Valanciunas and finally Pascal Siakam succeeded Pascal Siakam.With this new roster will the Dinos maintain this tradition dear to the Canadian Federation of Lose? Nothing is less sure. The franchise comes out of a magnificent regular season (second best record of the East and even second best record of the NBA). A defense of hungry dogs, a well-oiled attack and united players from the first to the last match of the regular, they were impressive in every way. Even without Kawhi Leonard, the team has an excellent record of 17 wins and 5 losses this season, showing impressive collective strength. On the regular, they are tied with Orlando in direct confrontations, two everywhere. They will do everything to avoid that this record is the same after four games of Playoffs and to do so, it will win tonight.
But the Magic will not come to be rolled over, they arrive in postseason stuffed with confidence. The push in the Playoffs race of Aaron Gordon's pals was really impressive with 11 wins for 2 small losses over the last 13 games. Evan Fournier and Nikola Vucevic have nothing to lose and will do everything to exploit the flaws of the Raptors and win in this first game on a French-friendly schedulemoreover. They are obviously far from the favorites but they have weapons to sweat the men of Nick Nurse and then what is certain is that they will do everything to stay in the game and make their opponents doubt. As pure chauvinists, we can not wait to see Vavane in Playoffs. Charenton's garbage, as the other had said, has not known them since Denver, a team in which he played a minor role. In view of his mentality and his clutch side, we are pretty sure he can step-up in postseason and show that he can actually be a second offensive option in a very good NBA team. The meeting will take place at 11 pm and is absolutely unmissable. So we open the League Pass, we mutate it, we go on the YouTube channel of TrashTalkwe go out the popcorn and enjoy this great time with family.
Who will take the lead in this series which promises to be magnificent between the second and seventh of the Eastern Conference? See you at 11 pm at the Scotiabank Arena to find out.
