Anyway, I'm confused by this thread. Assuming the Bucks/Sixers finish as the one-two seeds in the RS, and win their first round series, how do the Raptors avoid both of those teams in the second round?

This thread is from 2014. So there's that.

I haven't really looked at how the brackets shape up. If we get a beatable opponent in the first round, are we likely to get Miami or Indiana in the second?


Hard to say, since none of the 82 regular season games have been played yet.

edit - oops, I didn't see it was an old thread, and I replied to a post from January '14 not today.

Anyway, our destiny was already fulfilled in that magical playoff run.
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

All jokes aside who says we are not buyers at the deadline? It would be foolish to speculate that we will or we won't be contenders until the deadline happens. It dials us in or out.

Oh man, the playoffs where we lost to the Nets because Terrence Ross was 20% on wide open 3's.

If it went 6-7 games I can live with this.

hey y'all this thread is from 2014. though i kind of like the idea of bumping old threads and treating them as if they were today's. very meta. i mean, are we a team of destiny? will we get taken out by the heat or the pacers? same as it ever was.

Getting to the 2nd round minimum that’s all I’m expecting, anything less is waste season anything more is a bonus
