It's crazy how these two teams are such e-rivals, yet outside of message boards (I've seen the Raptors/Magic rivalry on a few other bball boards as well) no one would even know it.

Our series will likely have the lowest ratings out of all the first round match-ups, lol (well, we are playing a Canadian team). But judging by this thread, you'd think the Celtics and Lakers were playing.

C.B's response to Stephen A. Smith's comments on ESPN today. You got to love C.B, this guy is a class act. Via www.Chris-Bosh.com blog.

I'll start this blog off by expressing my disappointment in Stephen A. Smith. I was watching ESPN earlier today and they were breaking down each and every playoff match-up like they do every year. When our time came up, he began to criticize us like I knew he would, but criticism never bothers me. What bothered me is that he made certain personal comments towards me. His remarks were not funny and I don't understand why he would say something like that about me. My friends that watched it thought that I had done something to him or said something about him in the past. The thing that bothers me most is that every time I see him, I say hello and shake his hand. The comments he made had nothing to do with basketball and I feel that he has something agaisnt me and that really makes me upset. That just goes to show you that some people will forget about mutual respect and try and bring you down (even if you haven't done anything to them) just for some attention.

On a lighter note, we're here in Orlando and getting ready for this series that we have coming up. I've waited a whole year to get back here and I'm really excited about this time around. I brought my laptop and my XBOX with some movies so I'll be entertained. I'm really focused right now and all I do is watch film, practice, eat, watch movies and play video games. You have to win to keep the season alive so I'm preparing for every game like it might be my last. I know guys on other teams are thinking the same thing.

Speaking of other teams, I think this year's playoffs is going to be one of the most dramatic post-seasons in a while. If you break it down, pretty much every series in the West is tough. The Suns vs. Spurs and Rockets vs. Jazz series are re-matches of last year and all of those teams are threats to make it to the Finals. In the Cavs vs. Wizards series it could be getting personal because guys from each team have been exchanging words since the last time they played earlier in the season. That always makes great basketball. And of course you have the Raptors vs. Magic series and let me tell you... If you watch that one, you'll be in for a real treat!

Keep watching TV so you can see us play. It's the real thing now and it's going to be crazy! I'm ready, are you?

How the hell did this thread get to 79 pages? Wasn't it like 25 like two days ago.

What could you possibly be talking about without a game being played?

lol, Raptors fans are addicted to the internet and RealGM. Canada doesn't really support basketball, maybe Toronto is starting to from last years playoffs, but it's a hockey nation. This is the perfect place for Raptors fans to talk about basketball.

Um actually he is.

From Stan press conference the other night, he had two film sessions scheduled all day for Thursday and Friday. There is also a link on the Magic board named "inside info" (or something like that) that says Dwight has been studying film real hard with SVG in preparation for the game.

Nice try though.

I checked out XBox Live today and didn't see Howard's handle on there ever...but Bosh was on there like all day long. So...

Actually, no I didn't. I don't own an XBox 360 or any of the other newer systems. But I'm probably right.

Not sure if it matters, but Mitchell has been on record saying they will not do the same things in the playoffs as they did in the regular season.

Yeah, right. Bosh nor Dwight are working out, studying tape, etc.

Both are probably playing Connect Four at Dwight's crib or Dwight is showing Chris his secret spots at Disney World.
