Before playoffs nobody talked more **** than Raps fans lol. They will almost certainly win the series, but this punch in the mouth early at least shows some of the teams vulnerability, and that the fans should maintain some humility. This is Orlando, not Milwaukee.
Damn bruh ur hate for the raps is truly showing out in this thread.
I get that u want kawhi to leave Toronto for ur team after the season but damn, ur going overboard with the hate.

A whole lot of paper tigers in the east. Lowry doing his usual playoff Magic trick. And lol at Lowry and Vanvleet getting destroyed by Augustin

To everyone saying Orlando is an underdog and Raptors are choking again - give the Magic some credit. They have been the 3rd best team in the NBA since after the all-star break. They are not your average 7-seed.

There may not be a playoff series in the east as evenly matched up as this one, despite the seeding. Not even the 4-5 Bos-Ind matchup...

They've played much better than this.

What does my post have to do with hating the actual team? I'm addressing the Raptors fan trolls that flood this board with crap going into the playoffs. They were a loud, confident bunch. Every year their role players are Jesus in their eyes (OG and Vanfleet last year, now Siakam).

People just get tired of the exaggeration and BS. Doesn't mean they aren't a great team. Many fans here seemed to be arrogant about Orlando though. Orlando has shown right out of the gate, win or lose they aren't gonna lay down and be punked.

And Orlando is going to let Toronto back in the game, but hopefully we can steady their runs. Need to continue to make extra passes.

Nobody thought they would. They have been playing better than 90% of the league since All-star break, better than Raptors, and certainly Clippers. Where are you getting your information from??

Yes. You think Vujevic with 4 points, and AG with 7 is a monster game? They are being carried by freakin DJ Augustin. If you think this is their peak, you are in for a rude awakening.

Ok settle down now, we know the Raps are gonna hit back this 3rd quarter. They are too experienced not too. All those open 3s will come down surely.

I just hope that my team won't wilt and would punch back.

Also.. why are they talking about Embiid looking at a cellphone rather than this game?

Tried to tell people Orlando wasn't going to lay down. Also, that physicality isn't an issue for this team. Be ready for a dog fight.

I don't have a dog in this fight but Orlando has in fact played better than this at points this season. There are times where they straight up can't miss from this and Vuc is unguardable

I am on these forums more than just about anyone. If you don't understand what I'm referring to (the large group of Raptors troll fans, who talk nonstop trash and act like everyone on their team is gold), you simply aren't around here much.
