It’s ‘Fanapalooza’ night at the ACC tonight, as the Toronto Raptors play their final home game of the 2013-14 regular season. Boy, does it feel good to say that.
The Raptors will be raising their Atlantic Champions banner tonight, so definitely tune in for that. They also play the Milwaukee Bucks; something that is sort of worth tuning in for.
The Raps can set the franchise mark for wins tonight at 48 – coming into the season even I would have said that’s crazy talk.
Let’s get right into the Cage’s Keys To The Game
Don’t Slack
Yeah, it’s going to be a fun environment with the playoffs locked up, Atlantic celebration, worst team in the league, etc. Regardless, the Bucks are still playing for pride and the Raps have to get this win to ensure they keep their spot as the 3rd seed. Don’t mess around.
Consistent 48
I don’t know why, but the Raps seem to be leaving games till the last minute against sub par teams. The last game against the Bucks was decided in the last few minutes, somehow. Don’t create stress for yourselves and fans, please.
Have Fun
A bit contradictory to earlier talk, but this is the opportunity to have a bit of fun in front of the fans for the last time this season, because the playoffs will not be fun. Throw some alley-oops, and maybe even get Dwight Buycks in there after business is taken care of.
X-Factor – Jonas Valanciunas
My man JV has been absolutely killing it as of late. The Bucks don’t really have anyone to contain him, so get him going early.
