People say we are a bad matchup for them but the reality is we played them in their worst stretch of their season last year.
Jokic lost the MVP race in that stretch too.
I’m not saying it’s impossible to win though. Any team can get hot and win a game.
Nice
In perfect Raptors style we are going to win this game, get smacked by the 76ers because of the new Nurse Curse, beat the Jazz, and then get obliterated by the Wizards
At least we get to watch Jamal Murray 🇨🇦
