KAT with the nice find down low to Rudy. Nice ball movement.

Ant initiating almost everything. Drove baseline there and kicked it out the KAT.

That is MASSIVE if Ant can hit on those passes to a rolling Rudy. Didn't see that enough last year.

Shake and SloMo in for Conley and KAT. Shake's looked good in the preseason, I think. I'll miss Taurean, but Shake might help me forget that. Well, not with possessions like that.

Raps on a bit of a run here.

Pretty ugly so far. Ant and Rudy anchoring the D. Kat looks lost apart from one good pass.

KAT and Naz in as Rudy and NAW go to the bench. That's a long front court with SloMo at the 3. Like it.

I don't like Toronto scoring so much right now though.

KAT with the hook. We need to get him going. Too much offensive talent and emotional sensitivity not to get him a good number of shots here to start the season.

Naz trying to do too much, game getting a bit wild here.

Kat with the top of the key triple. He was signaling back and forth with Finch just beforehand, so that was definitely a called play.

SloMo's shot has such a hitch in it, it's amazing it went in as often as it did last year.

Physical play. Like to see it, but let's not get hurt.

All knotted up

25-25 after 1. Shake took the last shot there and missed, a tough step back to beat the clock. If he had seen KAT behind him and if KAT had gotten down the floor just a bit earlier, that trailing 3 pointer from KAT would have been a better shot.

Troy Bown Jr. in to start quarter 2.

That was a nice play from Scottie Barnes near the end of the first half.

Ugly d to end the quarter. Raptors got a short bench lets hope we can out pace them.

Tied up after a quarter on the road in game 1 I'll chalk up as a good start. They need to keep it close in the 2nd and then it needs to be the Wolves that take over in the 3rd.
