Re: ECQF | P2 (2) Toronto Raptors vs (7) Orlando Magic
Man.. I hope we win tonight just so my original prediction of Raps in 6 comes true.
Also, post-PO.. I do think we resign Vuc. No way is Bamba ready for the grind that is a regular NBA season. Isaac, after practically shutting him down his rookie season, came out better in his 2nd year. Imagine the strides next season where he will continue to bulk-up. Hope that is the case with Bamba.
Oh and as this series shows, we do need a scorer/play-maker guard with all our pieces. DJ is a good back-up but hope that Fultz is who we all expect him to be.

Imagine this Magic team with Kyrie or Kemba. They might be better than the Pacers

Imagine Popovich coaching this Raptors team. They'd be championship favourites.

No wonder this is on NBAtv, this is going to be ugly for Orlando at this rate

Great start but what a terrible crowd response. The place is half-dead.

Raptors look like they want to put the game away early. Excellent start, but the Magic will fight back at some point. Gotta stay aggressive.

Lowry with the first 9 points for the raptors, up 9-1, he's now +85 for the series.

Having Gasol, Siakam and Lowry replace Duncan, Aldridge and Parker back in 2015 would have been a fever dream for Pop.
Masai has done a tremendous job putting this team together. I don't know if coaches lust over coaching other teams but if they do then this would be Popovich's Jolene.

This might become the biggest blowout of the playoffs.

Other than maybe the Lakers and Magic who else is really looking to pay Vucevic max money?

Hate going up this much early. Gotta keep the focus locked in.
