Darko let us know that the ceremonial chain went to Chris Boucher tonight for his efforts -- when asked "what does Pascal have to do?" (jokingly) Darko mentioned that while Pascal was highly praised tonight, it's not always about who scored the most, but who impacts the game/team
Uh, Scottie Barnes, just TOOK that ball from KD and went coast to coast with it and THEN Freddy just broke like five ankles on the ensuing possession. 60-53 Raptors at the half

R.J. Barrett repping Canada by putting flags on his jacket is cool. Me personally, I would prefer if he represented Canada by joining the Toronto Raptors.
Fred VanVleet has set a new NBA record for most 3-pointers made off the bench in an NBA Finals. The previous record of 15 was shared by Robert Horry and JR Smith.
It was 2-0 for Milwaukee and looked completely hopeless. The Toronto Raptors really won 4 games in a row against the 60-win Bucks to go to the NBA Finals.
Some of us have been watching this team for 24 years, and you live your whole life for these kinds of moments. For even the CHANCE to play for a title.
Raps up by 10 at the half. We've gotten a "Lowry" chant, an "MVP" chant for Kawhi, and we were blessed -- blessed I say -- by a "Danny" chant. It's 59-49 for Toronto in Game 1.
With Stanley, Rondae, OG, and now McCaw, it will... not be easy to score on the Raptors. (Now, how Toronto will generate points is another question...)
