Ross is a shook one in the playoffs.

Especially against a crowd like TO with vets that play D.

Also I think Ross is their most experienced playoff vet
Ross has grown up. We'll see. For Orlando to win ANY game, Ross has to show up.

If he turns up a big series....


Well he would have to turn it up for 4 games. That's why he's nicknamed "Coin-toss Ross" because of his inconsistencies. You don't know what you're going to get. But I admit, he's been the reason you guys made it to the playoffs. If we weren't facing each other, I'd be rooting for the Magic. They don't have guys that are unlikeable (except Fournier, a little bit). With that said, Raps in 5...only because your team's improved after the ASG. :D

I think this would be the only 1st round upset in the East.
Orlando is peaking, meanwhile Kawhi looked like he is ready to move in his real home last time I watched him.

What an awful take regarding Kawhi.

Put on them big boy pants and ride Vuc. I don't see anyone stopping him, that being said, yea Raptors in 5 or 6 seems fair.
Good assessment:

That mantle has been passed onto Detroit, good sir. We no longer have coach "oops, I forgot what side of the court we are inbounding from on the most important possession of the season"
Biiiiiig facts.

People forget that.

Every year in the first round a lot of the American fans always state that the raps series is the one where they predict an upset compared to all the other teams in the first round.

Raps never lost to any team without the player LeBron James on that team. Same goes for everyone else in the east the last seven years.

Yet we’re always supposed to get an upset knockout in the first round. From Indiana, to Milwaukee, to Washington and now to Orlando.

I'll make a bet with you. Raps drop game 1, I'll ask admin to delete my account. If they win game 1, you ask for deletion of yours.

The magic have Vucevic, Fournier, Gordon, Isaac, Ross, Augustine.

We have Kawhi, Siakam, Lowry, Gasol, green, Ibaka, FVV, Norm, Og.

This should easily be Raptors.

Surprisingly it's a combination of ESPN and TNT, along with Fox Sports Florida locally, in addition to the usual TSN/Sportsnet combined coverage.

Toronto in 5. Clear advantage in experience, and best player in the series.

That was a 4 seed and 5 seed team, so it was far from an upset.

Regardless Raps should take Orlando in 4 or 5. They have the clearly superior team, Orlando has no playoff experience and their point guards are pretty weak. I mean the Raps backup point guard would probably start in Orlando.

But Orlando is a young and scrappy team, if Ross and Vuciec get hot they could push it to 6.
