Fine, so Game 1 for the Raptors is now out of the way. The caterwauling, the insecurity, the tension and release of the start of the post-season. It’s all done. Now we can all turn to Game 2. What a relief.
The problems of this series with the Milwaukee Bucks remain, however. They still have the indescribable force that is Giannis Antetokounmpo (more on him in a bit), they still have a bunch of long-armed dudes, they still have mastermind Jason Kidd managing the bench. We would kind of like them all to just go away, and yet: they remain.
