Toronto vs. Orlando predictions

[MagicFan101]

Let’s keep track of what people expect from this matchup.

[AusMagic]

Hoping for a massive upset but thinking Raptors in 6

[NotACat]

There's no way I will not be a homer in a poll for us in the playoffs. Lets get it

[OrlChamps2030]

Brain says Raps in 5, heart says Raps in 6

[paperboymafia]

Raps in 6.

PROVE ME WRONG ORLANDO (by bettering that...i don't need to proved wrong by getting swept)

[DSWC]

People over on the Raptors' board (I'm a Raps fan) think it will be a sweep. I think you guys will give us more trouble than that. I think Raptors in 6, and you guys will give us a tough first round matchup. Looks like your team is on the way up, and I remember when that was Toronto. Good luck! (But not too much luck)

[EAS Law]

Not that I’m surprised, but damn the GB is absolutely full of people that just LOVE the cast negativity on others. I’m not expecting us to win the series, but I think we could. We’ve beaten every top team in the NBA this season and have shown we are capable.

[NBlue]

Brain (and vote) says Raptors in 5. Heart says Magic in SEVEN!!

[Tarheel]

I think we'll be more competitive than people think. We don't play a lot of wide margin games (although one of the few was the recent domination by the Raps).

I think Raps in 5 or 6 with a heartbreaking loss or two in there (game winner or similar).

The GB is full of hateful bastards and catty men . I rarely bother going there anymore.

Back to the topic... I'm saying Raps in 5, but I hope we can push it to 6. I just think our PG play is simply too weak and we don't have enough scoring depth off the bench.

The toxicity is whey I stay away from the General Board and /r/nba most of the time now. Just now worth it.

I have the Raptors in 5, but this team has obviously let us down in the past. The Magic won't roll over, but I think everyone in the Toronto locker room has been gearing up for the "real season". No more "load management", no more tinkering with rotations and lineups. As long as we're healthy, there shouldn't be too much stress for Toronto with this first round matchup.

[Knightro]

I love the way the Magic are playing, but even with that I gotta pick Raptors in 5.

This is arguably the worst first round matchup possible for the Magic. Philadelphia isn't very deep and Milwaukee has some injuries.

Toronto is deep, healthy and VERY talented.

[drsd]

If Orlando can get a split over the first two games, then Magic in 6 seems possible.

[Def Swami]

Raptors in 5, but could definitely see 4.

[nymets1]

The NBA playoff pick em bracket game on nba.com I choose Raptors over Magic in 5

I think the Warriors are going to sweep the Clippers and the Bucks are going to sweep the Pistons as well as Bucks sweep the Celtics.

Warriors vs Rockets(Warriors sweep) and Nuggets vs OKC in WCF semifinals(4-3)
Warriors over OKC in WCF finals(4-3)
Bucks over Celtics in ECF semifinals(Bucks sweep)
Bucks over Raptors in ECF finals(4-3)
Warriors over Bucks in NBA finals(4-3)

[AdamTheGreek]

Raptors in 7. I think we punch them in the mouth Game 1 and push Toronto to their limit.

[Xatticus]

I took the Raptors in six.

With the way Clifford has this team playing, Toronto can't just walk in and expect to win. We'll defend and we'll compete. Toronto is just a much better team though.

[VFX]

I don’t see Orlando winning this one in the end. I think we matched up better with Philadelphia.
