To find out more about the Milwaukee Bucks first opponent in the 2017 NBA Playoffs, we spoke to Brian Boake over at Raptors Rapture about the Toronto Raptors.

The Milwaukee Bucks will kick of the 2017 NBA Playoffs on Saturday afternoon when they head up north to Canada to take on the Toronto Raptors. We’ve looked a lot at Toronto’s roster over the past couple days here at Behind the Buck Pass, but we’re always more focused on the Bucks than any other team around here.

To learn more about the Raptors, thus, we decided to reach out to somebody who covered the team all season. Brian Boake is a site expert over at Raptors Rapture, the FanSided site that’s dedicated to covering the Toronto Raptors.

Brian reached out to us to get some of his Bucks questions answered, and then was nice enough to return the favor and spend a little time educating us on Toronto’s team. If you missed it, his piece (featuring yours truly) can be found right here.

Raptors questions included topics such as the team’s mindset after their loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals last season, new arrivals to the team, players tasked with guarding Giannis Antetokounmpo and more.
