Everything Orlando vs Toronto (minus GT's)

Vuc vs Gasol I like
JI vs Siakim I like
AG vs Kawhi I don't hate
Evan vs Green is a draw IMO
DJ vs Lowry scares me

Bench goes to Toronto unless Ross torches them the entire series

Let's win a series and move on to the next round.

Where's the General Board series thread, I haven't talked playoff trash in a while :)

So much playoff experience on that Toronto roster. Will be a huge test for our young guys but should be excellent experience for them.

Lowry is slow and past his prime... not worried about him... we can beat Raptors, their depth is a bit overrated

I will say this. The Magic are much better than their record and seeding. We can give any team problems.

Toronto has the best bench in the league. Like you said, Ross will have to come up big time for us to stand a chance. The X-factor in this series will be Gordon. Isaac needs to be an offensive contributor as well, 9 pts won't cut it.

Jodi Meeks and Danny Green are the 2 players we should fear

Gonna be the worst travel each-way possible for both teams. Furthest north to the second furthest south.
That may not be an issue but the temp changes should be interesting.

Do we know yet if the series starts on Saturday or Sunday?
Time?

Can Gasol shoot 3s out of the pick and roll? We need at least one non threat so our defense can help.

I think we'll get smoked. This is a rough match up for us. But I'm glad the team will get this experience.

from the raps board:
Danny Green said on his podcast that he wanted to play the Magic last against all the teams in our range of seeding.
He mentioned that he felt we didn't match up well against Orlando.


Maybe he is just being nice but i appreciate that he seems to respect us.

We need to wave some donuts when Gasol is on the FT line.

Sad though that they will see their daddy getting beat up and backed down by Gasol's big body..

Who is TOR primary backup C? Old man Serge? That is a better matchup
