A team with DJ Augustin as their starting point guard that isn’t the Thibs Bulls in the playoffs, this is crazy.

Holy crap! The Magic are absolutely LOCKED IN. Ive never seen them play defense like this.

The raptors are a historicaly mentally weak franchise, coming off of being swept two years in a row, if the magic win this game this might break the raptors hearts yet again.

The proliferation of the three has changed a lot in the nba. If you can shoot threes, and you shoot a lot of them, you can compete with anyone on any given night.

I think that series is easy regardless of Blake. I've been saying, a couple series' will go much further than people might have thought before the playoffs started.

As a Celtics fan I would agree. But it would shut up all those people who keep saying the first round is going to be really boring. Playoff basketball imo is the most entertaining sporting events.

The dude can really play some defense. Super versatile on that end.

**** these NBA Playoffs

Gonna be Boston/GSW because that's apparently all championships in professional sports have to involve a Boston team playing a team from southern california

They and Brooklyn have that grimey game to them. Bunch of dudes that were cast aside and banding together to punch some higher seeds in the mouth. I love it.

What are you talking about? Leaving open 3's is not good defense, its poor offense.

If they played each other in round 2, it would set basketball back 40 years.

They aren’t a good shooting team?

That is the key for the magic. They are a good to great defensive team. If they’re also hitting 3’s, they’re dangerous.
