*if necessary
It is a mild shame that Game 2 is on NBA TV, instead of ESPN or TNT, but that is because Canadian basketball fans can't watch on those channels. To be fair, Buck and Phil are still two of the best play by play teams in the business, so it's not like most Wizards fans will lack viewing options.
I'm just wondering if Raptors General Manager Masai Ujiri will yell something like this at Jurassic Park before Game 1. After all, we don't have an all-out rivalry against the Raptors ... yet.
Whether Ujiri does it again or not, it's on Toronto! See you in the playoffs!
