One of the most untrustworthy players in the playoffs I have ever seen in my life...in any sport.

Playoff Lowry strikes again. This team really hates game ones.

He's getting roasted on twitter

As he rightfully should.

100% of this loss was squarely on him. One-MotherEffin'-Hundred Percent.

He's definitely going this offseason if Masai can swing a trade.

Masai has shown he won't stand for this stuff anymore. And if he loses Kawhi Leonard b/c this team didn't advance far enough in the playoffs, Lowry will be responsible for that.

Everything else and everyone else on this team has done exactly what they needed to do to get this far.

Only problem is, there may not be enough picks we can attach to get his fatass outta Toronto.

He'll come,into next game chucking which will be worse for Toronto.

What the heck is going on with Bamba, I haven't been following the Magic....

I still think Vuc is gonna be the best player of the series.

All we can ask for from our guys is to put up a competitive battle/series with one of the best teams in the league. I'll go on record for ALL Magic fans even if they dont want me talking for them that we fully expect to lose and some games might get ugly if our offense isn't clicking.

We might squeeze one win due to great coaching, but the playoffs is a different animal. Tempo is slowed down and rotations are tightened. Out of all the teams we could have faced Toronto was the absolute last team I personally didn't want to go up against and I'll happily admit that.

On the bright side and for realists this will show us a few things that are as equal as winning a game.

1) Does Vucevic continue his all-star play and show why he should be considered one of the premier bigs in the league and warrant his next contract (possibly near max).

2) Does coin-flip Ross (hate that name btw) continue his hot stroke and gets revenge from the team that traded him or are the bright lights too much for him and disappear as past history has shown?

3) Do our young guys show *playoff promise and learn from mistakes and adapt on the fly?

4) Does Clifford turn on another switch to accommodate for the playoffs and redeems himself from a lot of unwarranted criticism from his days with the Hornets?

Believe it not though we match up pretty well with Toronto and it will be a fun series.

I can not stress enough though how ecstatic I am when and if Orlando wins a game the total meltdown/servers down that will take place here.

For our sake let's hope the Toronto Barneys show up to play.

Don't try to highlight the one semi positive thing you said amongst all that weak ish.. Fellow Magic fans starting to get on my nerves

Knowing Lowry he won't. He'll continue being passive.

Pascal "Carmelo" Siakam - 24 shots, 24 points. Not going to win many games when he's the #1 option.
Great D by Orlando, length really bothered Toronto.

What's up with the Raptors and game 1s? WTF?? If they keep up like this with game ones, they won't make ECF probably let alone the finals. This is so bad :/ I think they will bounce back in this series but these showings in game 1s are just pathetic. Can't afford to screw up games at home like this.

The Raptors will be lucky to make it out of the first round.

You might be right. All the pressure is on them.

Yet he is the only positive in his team with +11 apparently, which is pretty weird.

That +11 was probably the shot he connected on MCWs face.

I love it, raptors are still a joke of a franchise when it comes to playoffs, and some of their fans already felt like they made it to finals when the season started :lol:

JimmyRustle · Post #1676 » by **JimmyRustle** » Sun Apr 14, 2019 1:29 am

Lowry has to get Augstine's [blank] out of his mouth to stop this choke job. Feel so bad for Raptors' fan but the only way you guys start making noise in the playoffs is if you trade this bum and do everything you can to retain KL and build around him and Siakam

RookieStar · Post #1677 » by **RookieStar** » Sun Apr 14, 2019 1:33 am

Hopefully we got the playoff's jitters out of the way and let Vuc, AG and Tross do their thing. They were atrocious in their shots.

SFour · Post #1678 » by **SFour** » Sun Apr 14, 2019 1:40 am

Should've included Lowry in that Gasol trade and swapped him with Conley. He better show up in Game 2.

I was going to ask that too, as well as with Fultz. Are both hurt, or are the Magic just waiting for next season to feature them?

The sad thing is he's probably still in his prime. He's always had these Jekyll and Hyde moments where he looks like a freak hybrid of Stephen Curry/Steve Nash, or current Jose Calderon. The first 15 or so games was the best stretch I've ever seen Lowry play, he looked like THE best player in the league.

Then he turned into Jose Calderon. Whenever he did this in the past, DeMar unfairly got all the blame.

Calderon can consistently hit a shot.

Who wins the series and how?
