Are mans honestly scared? We are a team with serious championship aspirations versing a team just happy to be there.

If we can't beat the Magic we ain't winning **** anyway.

Raps in 5.

In terms of stars, probably the best 1st rd matchup they've had over the last few years. Orlando doesn't really have a star caliber like a Giannis, Johnathan Wall, Paul George, etc. who can take over and win a game or two.

Orlando is unfortunately the least interesting of the 3 possible matchups. Lots of drama with Detroit & we have the history with Brooklyn.

Orlando......I don't know. Just feels like something is missing.

If this is not a sweep plus 2 to 3 blowouts then I dunno what to say FAM, Only reason I can think of this game going to 5 is refs.

Don't think anyone is scared of advancing. They just want an easy matchup and for the team to be well-rested for the more important rounds.

Yeah. Only team people were scared of here was Detroit ( :lol:

) but Milwaukee has the pleasure of sweeping them instead.

2014: We get the 3rd seed, matched up against the veterans BKN nets team that were one of the best teams post ASB

2016: We get PG13 and a 45 Win IND team as the 7 seed (uncharacteristically strong for a 7 seed in the East), have a grueling 7 game series

2017: Get Cavs in the second round instead of ECF (which we would've gotten easily),

2018: Get a talented WAS team that had another gear in the Playoffs, way stronger than an 8th seed

2019: ORL is one of the hottest teams the past 20 game, and is easily the strongest East lower seed team.

So we faced stronger than usual 6,7,8,7 seeds.

Meanwhile BOS gets gifted IND and MIL gets DET

Orlando isn't THAT good bruh

Someone mentioned Danny Green hinting at the same thing. Wonder if the homers on this board will go to his face and say some of the stuff they casually say here. No one thinks the Raptors will lose, but this is probably the most annoying match up.

Of course. Its the Raptors we are talking about. Fully expecting this series to go 6-7 games while Philly, Bucks, Celtics all take care of business in 5 or less.

You never get tired of being wrong, do you?

Me think Bucks are bye bye in the 1st RD reason ex-Clown Coach Casey has their numbers in the playoffs.
