Playoffs G1: Orlando Magic (7) @ Toronto Raptors (2) - The Second Dinosaur Extinction

[SOUL]

Okay, I updated the OP. Enjoy

[J-Mezzy]

Will there be a watch party?

[Maikson]

Is it saturday yet?

[MartinsIzAfraud]

Playing with house money at this point. Let’s see if we can roll some 7 & 11’s and get hot.

[Bergmaniac]

The series won't be on NBATV, we have too much star power.

Toronto huge favorites obviously, but I am still very much pumped for the series, the wait was so long.

[JBSouthpaw]

I really just hope Serge has a horrible series. He tanked so hard with us.
Have to contain Lowery. They have 3 pretty good PGs with Lin and Van Fleet too.

[MagicFrenchie]

How grateful it is to see the Magic logo on all the playoffs schedules all over the net...feels like unreal haha

[Ramed Nazored]

This is actually amazing.

Magic fans, I extend an olive branch : here's to a good, hard-fought series. Lets have fun.

[The_Toro]

Soooo... do we really have to start yhe trash talk now? I kinda wanna now how Kyle's old man legs will resort him using his fat-ass in backing down our midget PG.

Most Raptors fans are pretty funny and creative with the trash talk, although their fan base is so big, they have a lot of trolls that just troll and go to other boards like that dude lol.

way too many trolls

Should be a fun match up, the Magic have given the Raps trouble I can see them taking it to 6 games.

The Raps are just better, have more experience, and have the best player on both teams. Kawhi is such a difference maker.

If it was still DeMar on the team, then raps fans would not be as confident.

Lets hope for a fun series, I can't wait to see what AG can do, and I hope T-Ross has some big games.

He sure did. But we did turn him into the Human Torch and look how well that's worked out.

[KillMonger]

Hoping to steal a game or two, if it was any other coach than nick nurse I would've been more confident. Can't talk too much since no games have been played yet. When playoffs start its back to 0-0, everyone resets.... Just have to come with that mindset that you can beat anybody. Guys we've come along way.... From Gustavo ayon to the playoffs

Magic vs Raps, just like the good ole days.
JI, AG, Human Torch, where you at!
Feel like these guys will have a chip on their shoulder.

[ORL_on_FIRE]

Any news on Isaac? Not too much buzz about it..I suspect he should be ready to go game 1.

We need him!

It seems like AG has played Kawhi pretty good this year.
Orlando does has the athleticism at the forwards to actually match TOR, which most teams don't.

Question: Who will step up and become our playoff stars? In the old days it was Jameer suddenly becoming a 20ppg guy, and Turk and Lewis becoming cold blooded killers.

Who are we feeling will find their groove in the playoffs. I can see Ross, Fournier and DJ getting up more shots. If this Hornet's game is any indication, AG is warmed up and ready to go already, but he'll have his hands full trying to contain Kawhi/Siakam.

So pumped to see these guys play!

I’ll always remember watching the Cavs series during our Dwight years. I was in high school watching Game 1. I was stressed out on an emotional roller coaster and cussing up a storm “bull **** call”, “ Varajeo is a flopping bitch”, Michael Pietrus what kind of shot....nice shot MP haha”


Anyway, right before RawLew big turnaround clutch 3, I was a nervous wreck as I watch SVG draw up a play in the huddle, and what do I see..... they break the huddle and Turk and Lewis are laughing and joking around as they break the huddle and walk over to in bound the ball.

I felt a calming sense after I saw that and I knew we’d win the game and the series after that, didn’t have any doubts even after Lebrons miracle shot in game 2.

Can’t wait to see some more Magical Moments in the playoffs.

No offense, but the only way you STEAL a game or "two" is if our entire starting lineup gets injured in the first 5 minutes of game 1. While i appreciate blind optimism, the talent difference between the two teams is so massive (not to mention depth and playoff experience), that it would take a meltdown of unparalleled proportions for the Raptors to lose more than 1 game in this series.

[NBlue]

BEST. OP. EVER.

You deserve a billion +1s for that.

Meh. I like the Raps also obviously and picked them to come out of the East. That said, an injury to Kawhi and this is close to an even series. Give me a break on your entire starting lineup going down for the Magic to have any wins. I definitely think Toronto wins the series (obviously they should) but perhaps you should take a peek at Pascal's numbers against the Magic this year.. I think the Magic have a major problem matching up when there is a healthy and in form Lowry, Kawhi, Green and Pascal (not to mention Gasol) but if you remove Kawhi from that equation -- its a whole different ballgame.

Thing is, JI and AG are probably the best defensive forward combination in the east. However we are super weak defending at the guard spot. You take away Kawhi and the Magic can do so many different things defensively. With Kawhi AG has to stay at home on him and of course JI has to stay on Pascal. That opens everything up for the pnr to benefit Lowry, Gasol & Green. Its a major problem and it showed in the last game. Toronto's talent and depth really hurts the Magic.

But your post is still a bunch of ****.
