One-Line Reactions to Facing Washington – Give Yours + Twitter Reactions

Staff reacts to facing Washington. You should too.

Blake Murphy: The Bucks would have been preferable but far more depends on how the Raptors play than the difference between the Wiz and Bucks. Shrug.

Scott Hastie: Dwane Casey vs. Randy Wittman is a test of patience for casual basketball fans and I can’t wait.

Sam Holako: A geriatric Paul Pierce still gives me anxiety.

Tim Chisholm: John Wall seems like the kind of player that would shred this porous team and yet they’ve held him 40% shooting — this matchup seems to suit them.

Zarar Siddiqi: Washington will be too concerned with Lowry and DeRozan, and will sleep on Jonas Valanciunas who is primed to have a big series against an overrated interior defense.

Andrew Thompson: Let the battle of the long twos and benched big men begin! 

William Lou: Don’t be afraid of Washington’s defense, they’re good, but the Raptors managed an offensive rating of 109 against them this season, and get excited for two weeks of Wall vs. Lowry.

Nick Reynoldson: Man, Paul Pierce can fuck right off.

Barry Taylor: Kyle Lowry is more handsome than John Wall

Tim W: Not sure what kind of sentence you’re looking for, but how about….well, at least they don’t have to play Boston.

Ryan McNeill: After the game DeMar DeRozan was literally begging for Paul Pierce and the Washington Wizards. DeRozan got his wish and it’s looking like a series full of emotions and intensity.

Michael Hollian: The secret weapon: End of the quarter, Lou Williams’ ISO’s. The Wizards will never see it coming! We got this…
