Playoff Series Round 1: Game 1 Pacers at Raptors!

This is it y'all! What we've all been waiting for!! Raptors finish the season on a high note and lock up the second spot in the Eastern Conference. The playoffs begin today where they'll face the seventh seed Indiana Pacers!

• Raptors took the regular season series with the Pacers 3 games to 1. Though the playoffs are a different beast, one of those wins came with Lowry and DeRozan sitting on the bench. Another saw Bismack Biyombo grab a franchise high 25 rebounds!
• It's a good story for the Pacers though. After missing the post season last year with All Star Paul George sidelined with a devastating leg injury, the Pacers came back strong this year adding Monte Ellis and Ty Lawson to their lineup. PG has been playing at another level, but Indiana is going to need some other players to step up if they hope to compete with the Raptors. He has also been dealing with an ankle injury, who knows if it's all smoke and mirrors though.
• I don't expect many changes to Toronto's starting lineup. Norman Powell has been playing extremely well for us and was even named the Eastern Rookie of the month for April. It's possible DeMarre Carroll will see more starter's minutes if Paul George is too much to handle for Powell. All in all should be a fun series. I predict Raptors in 6ix!.

Drake - "Summer Sixteen"

There's a lot of hype surrounding the fact that Drake is releasing his new album Views From The 6 on the same day that a possible Game 6 will fall, should the Pacers/Raptors series come to it. Love him or hate him, you can't deny what Drake has done for the popularity of Toronto and the Raptors. Expect him to be court side at each game.

Playoffs??
