From JLew1050: Familiar concerns for Raptors after another Game 1 loss. MORE:
TORONTO – Over the last week, former Raptors big man Lucas Nogueira has been back in Toronto after spending the last several months training in his native Brazil. Making the rounds, Bebe visited the team’s practice facility on Thursday and told reporters that he would be in attendance for Saturday’s first-round series opener against Orlando.
With Saturday’s 104-101 loss, Toronto fell to 2-14 all-time in Game 1s, including 1-10 in the opening game of the first round. The nine Magic players who saw the court on Saturday came into the night with just 75 games of playoff experience combined. Their started had appeared in 33 postseason contests and none since 2014. Twenty-eight of those games belonged to D.J. Augustin, who was instrumental in Orlando’s win.
Instead, Lowry resurrected another familiar Raptors playoff narrative, missing all seven of his shots and going scoreless in nearly 34 minutes.
