It’s finally here. The playoffs. We made it. The Raptors begin their 2017 post-season campaign against the Milwaukee Bucks today at 6:00am 12:30pm 5:30pm! We have plenty of time to get ourselves hyped up — or worried, depending on your emotional proclivities.
This will be the fourth straight Game 1 at home for the Raptors. This, on the surface, is a good thing. Except, you will hear a lot today about how the Raptors have not won a Game 1 at home for some time. In fact, they’ve only ever won one Game 1 (say that 10 times fast) and it was on the road, in the second round.
