You guys lost by 15 and 9, while you beat us by 17. IMO not close at all.

With Bosh

Won by 17 and lost by 9.

Without Bosh

Stayed in the game for three quarters, but lost it by 15 in the 4th.

----

Pretty even.

It doesn't even matter who wins the season series because playoff basketball in my opinion is a lot different. I really think that Washington does have a very good chance if all 3 of their star players are healthy. Also the raptors have a good chance as well all they got to do is play a bit better defence because honestly i think the raptors are better offecivly when everyone is playing 100 percent. Any of the bench players could come out and drop 16 points when they have the opportunity to. The best weapon Orlando has is its defence especially with Dwight in the middle and come playoff time i believe that defence is very important. I think the series would be a long one.

lol wow, all the Raptor fans somehow got the impression from 1 win that they match up really well against us. They even have a thread on tanking to play the Magic. 1-2 and they think the Raptors would win? lol I wonder how bad they played against Cleveland. The Raptors have less of a chance against the Magic than healthy Wizards, but obviously playing the 76ers would be the best case scenario.

Last season, 4-0 sweep. This season the season series was decided in a game that Bosh was out in.

You know, Magic fans are starting to sound a lot like us Raptor fans last season vs the Nets, we finished 3rd seed too, with a superior record and still got our a$$es handed to us by a team that just matched up well with us.

Once again...last season means nothing
Cleveland 2 & 0 vs S.A. regular season ---S.A. 4 & 0 vs Cleveland in the Finals

The team we have this year is MUCH better than last yr. While I agree that the Raps match up with the Magic very well, I don't see them beating us in a 7-game series. If Rap fans think they are going to shoot lights out against us & average 120 a game, think again

I just love the fact that Bosh brings his game up a notch when up against Howard, and our point guards just always have a field day vs Nelson/Arroyo, I really think that's a big advantage in our favor. Hedo and Lewis will be tough to contain though, we'd really have a tough time guarding them on the perimeter. I think we also have an advantage off the bench. Ultimately I think the difference in a Magic/Raptor series would be which superstar could impose his will the most and make his teammates better throughout 7 games.

He was pretty studdly in the Nets massacre against the Bulls, something like 8 points on 3-4 shooting.
