Game 3: Shambles @ Orlando Magic 19/04/19 at 7:00PM ET on SN1/ESPN

[Yeezus_]

I’m going against popular opinion in here, I expect the Magic to win game 3. The raptors always go through the most difficult path and nothing will change this series. Mark up an L

Magic fan here:

Orlando is on a 9-game home-winning streak. This is a very good home team. The Raptors will need to bring their stellar defense, displayed in game-2, for Toronto to win this game.

I would be surprised if either team hits 100 in this game, and the first-to 100 is the probable winner.

id be shocked if the Raptors dont hit 100 points. Game 1 we were completely off and still was north of 100 in points.

game day legooo

Gonna be a tough one tonight with Tony Brothers

[orbesnet]

Need a good showing tonight to get something rolling. This whole season has felt like fits and starts, team needs to build some momentum to overcome shortcomings going forward. I hope we build on last game and get rolling!

We coming back from Orlando with a tan and up 3-1.

[pilkoids]

Where do I place a bet for over 50 total foul calls made tonight?

The Raptors are going for a ring this year, if they bring the intensity they did for game 2 they should win by 20.

Unlike the media and the Magic quotes that Orlando had a poor shooting night, for me personally, I thought Toronto had a dominant defense in Game-2. Playing like that for another 15 games, yes the Reports will wear rings.

But the Magic will play elite defense tonight. Any bet needs to be on the Under for this game (regardless off the winner).

Danny Green is in warm weather so now his shot will fall tonight.

Orlando always had kind rims for the Raptors. The Raptors will make their shots I suspect. Hopefully that's enough to negate any Tony Brothers f***ery...

magic will play great defense but it won't matter, the raptors have too many options. They are due to finally start knocking down open 3's and if they do its a 20 point win. I can see the possibility of refs calling early ticky tack fouls on both sides which may decrease the intensity of the defense tho. But you guys have yet to see us clicking like we have been the past month +

I expect the Raptors to get hot from deep in at least one of these next two games. Almost every main rotation player of the Raptors is a 35% or better three-point shooter, but they're just 32% as a team after two games and everyone but Kawhi, Gasol and Ibaka (who is just 2/3) are shooting below their season averages. Siakam is 0-7, Powell is 1-8, Lowry is 2-8 and Green is 3-10 - and most of those attempts have been uncontested.

Rookie coach needed to get that first playoff win.

If the Raptors are up big at half-time, pay close attention to Tony Brothers’ whistle in the 3rd quarter. He’ll call a bunch of fouls on the Raptors to get the other team back in the game.

Not just fouls, but defensive 3 second violations for easy pts for Orlando.

It's like Marc Davis and Tony Brothers has their own way of **** with us. Marc Davis by calling fouls on our best player to take him out of the game. Tony Brothers gifts pts to the opposing team with techs and defensive 3 second violations......

Orlando's good luck charm came at the worst possible time for us, and i'm not talking about the supposed singer. It's Tony Brothers

Expect a LOT of foul calls tonight.

This is not comforting..

I often see Magic fans saying that they are on a 9 game home winning streak. I looked it up and found that from those 9 wins, 7 are versus sub .500 teams (Hawks & Knicks twice each!)
