Ross and Birch (native canuck) will have a big series. We have a puncher's chance at least. I'm just happy to be here. I hope DOA playoff Lowry does his patented dead fish impression on the court.

Magic in 7. Yuge upset.

This would involve both Siakam and especially Kawhi chocking in the 1st round.


Yeah wouldn't that be somethin

Went to this thread to vote "Raps in 4". The Magic got lucky (Heat, Hornets sucked in final weeks) to get into the playoffs but hey playoff experience is okay (even if you lost via a sweep)

Raps in 5 or 6.

ORL has been THE hottest team out of the lower seeds in the East (even more so than IND) and actually look to be team on the upswing.

They might be a better team than their record indicates because they were very sporadic the first half of the season but since the ASB they seem to have started to figure out who they are and developing into a tougher team. I still pick the Raps to win in 5 (possibly 6).

But anyone who has paid attention will see that ORL has been no pushover. They've beaten everyone from GSW, HOU, MIL, TOR, BOS, PHI etc in the past couple of months. So any team that doesn't come ready to play can find themselves in a bigger dog fight than they expected. I suspect ORL will at least give the Raps one game like that, if not a couple but in the end I think depth, experience and overall talent will prevail for TOR.

I'd be happy if the Magic gets a couple of wins.

I went Raps in 5, but I'm excited to see Vuc in the playoffs.

Should be a good, legitimate test for playoff Kawhi. Well get thrashed but hopefully we can win a home game. I might try and make it to one.

Raps in 4. With no Zaza on the opposing team, Kawhi playoff mode is unstoppable.

Raps in 6 or 7.

I voted for Magic in 7 though, just to give love, sorry, just too exciting to make the playoffs again.

Got the Raptors, maybe the Magic can pull something off, if they play hard and believe, but I got the Raptors in 5.
Good assessment:
