Easy game. Raps need to learn how to be focused like we are every game.

Finally a break in the schedule. Raptors are one of the worst teams in the league. I cant believe they wasted a pick on bargnani. Amare is going to destroy them inside and steve will carve up their defense.

Waa lazy this time to put new pics up for each player so just used same once from a few weeks ago. I have a feeling we may win this one. After our last two games we will be more frustrated while Toronto is basically locked in for 2nd & 3rd seed In their conference. They've also lost 3 games and will play hard but I'm still picking Phoenix to win

Raps could be missing 5 of their best players and still beat us by 15+. I'd trade Oubre, Rubio, Booker, Cam and 5 future first round picks for their owner and Nick Nurse.

I expect James Jones to have 15pts off the bench from easy dimes from Nash. James Jones has really improved our bench lately. His leadership will make sure the team doesn’t play down to its opponent because it’s important time for playoff seeding! Random thought but shout out to Aaron Nelson for keeping Nash healthy this year. We are lucky to have him.

Raptors will probably keep the Suns close because they wont take the Suns seriously... and who can blame them

Big mistake. Suns will come out with a 20 point lead and never look back.

I....I just...I just can't watch another minute of Saric with a Suns uniform. Slow footed, even-slower decision-maker, and a poor one at that...fumbling his way to a contested unbalanced layup attempt that leads to turnovers and fastbreaks, which btw he is never able to help defend because by the time opponents are dunking on us he's still at the other side of the court....which could eventually be helpful for a potential counter-fastbreak, except he takes longer than the Titanic to change directions from running back to running forward and by then defense is already set again. Rinse, repeat.
When he shoots, he misses. When he passes, it's a TO. When he drives, it's a calamity. When he defends....well, he never really defends.

They may have a great front office, coach, a better team, and a championship but we have one thing they dont: friendship. Friendship is worth more than a championship, maybe two but not more than 3 championships, 3 is a dynasty and worth way more than you nerds.

"At a minimum, this game will give the Raptor's front office the opportunity to see what a REAL basketball organization looks like. Top to bottom, Toronto have issues. Purple raptor as a mascot? Seriously? Real raptors are green and have feathers, you clown. When you cant nail the mascot correctly, it's a sign you have deeper issue down your organization flow chart. When Kawhi left, I was not surprised one bit."

BTW, poll is poorly constructed. It does not follow the guidelines of MECE - Mutually Exclusive, Collective Exhaustive.
Advancing to the 2nd round and losing on the 2nd round have a gray area. Options should be:
Exists 1st Round
Exits 2nd Round
Loses ECF
Loses NBA Finals
Wins it all
