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....

Why Meeks? Good shooter and I was actually surprised he can score a bit (originally thought he was totally washed), but I doubt he sees much playing time tbh.

Bench scrub that can shoot 3s.....they have a special place on the "Magic Killer Wall of Fame".

Players like Meeks always annoy Orlando.

Didnt Toronto blew them up at full power or something?

Raps in 5. They always lose Game 1 anyway.

We won by 12 full strength a week or so ago. Starters didn't really play too much that game (for either teams).

Game 1 - Raps
Game 2 - Raps
Game 3 - Orlando (with complete meltdown on the Raps board :lol:

)
Game 4 - Raps
Game 5 - Raps

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"

This is probably the most realistic scenario, this or a sweep.

Raps in 4.
Load management for Kawhi in games 2 and 4.

17 points and 9 assists on 51% shooting (45% from three) in the 10 playoff games from Lowry last year is very lackluster.

Magic are 22-9 post all star. Red hot.
Raptors in 6. Leonard ain't DeRozan.
But the Vucevic/Ross/Isaac/Gordon lineup is great imo.
If they had a point guard this could have been a big upset.

Interesting sub-note: the discrepancy in playoff experience between the two teams is rather massive:

Orlando should go hard after Kemba. And if they can't get him. Then they should look to trade for Conley. That could be an underrated lineup next season.

They have 2 wild cards for cheap. Mamba and Fultz. If Fultz puts it together, there's the PG.
Mamba is a project.
imo they must resign Ross and trade Fournier. Vucevic stays 100%.
Yes, Kemba makes a lot of sense if they don't believe in Fultz.
But they are set in general. Really like their core. Especially Issac will be a DPOY candidate in the future for sure.

Kawhi DNP in Game 3 for Load Management. Raps in 5.

If they trust Fultz to come in next season and play without issue, then the smarter play might be for Conley. Give Fultz some time to adjust and make sure he can handle the load, and when that happens, either move Conley at the deadline or let him expire.

Magic in 5.

Doesn't Danny Green have the 2nd best 3 point % in the league? Your comment is confusing.

Who wins the series and how?
