Siakam has a tough time with Isaac's 7'6" wingspan too.

They still go by Isaac's measurements before his junior year of HS, but he's 7 foot and nearly a 7'6" wingspan now.

Playoff Lowry incoming

It's okay. Let them wish for bad things for the Orlando Magic.

A CBS prediction model gives Orlando a 41% chance to advance. :o


No way in hell though.

If this was the Casey / Derozan Raptors, I'd say that was a pretty good call.

Kawhi, Gasol, Green, Lowry and Siakam... not so sure.

So what's Orl fans take on Cliff as a coach? The playoffs are such a chess match, should be exciting to watch the adjustments.

No matter how trash Lowry.. heck even any PG is.. If you have that much lard in your a$$, you can easily back-down our midget PG.

I only expect the Magic to make this semi-competitive. We have a scrappy team and will not just lay down. I have a lot of respect for this Toronto roster.

Cliff is great, we have a lot of confidence in him to make adjustments when needed.

I think Orlando is going to put a bit of a scare into the Raps and take 2 games, but Toronto advances 4-2.

:lol:

I'm pretty sure he is going to be really good anyways, given all of the extra weapons and fluidity the Raptors offense has.

I hope so. Lowry has been good to great the last three years in the PO's.
