ECQF | P1 (2) Toronto Raptors vs (7) Orlando Magic

[Howard Mass]

LOL, it's that time of the year where we promote board unity and wear matching avy/sigs to represent the fanbase in solidarity on RealGM.

But people in the past have said I am on some sort of undercover mission because I blend in so well, haha.

LOL!

It is going to be a great series. Not sure if all the accounts are coming from Ontario though.

Well, Canada is the 2nd largest landmass on Earth, so those IP connections could be from any of our 7 timezones

Very true.

What is the state of the backup server contingencies this year, Howard? I can't guarantee that the Raps Board will be able to hold back anymore like we did in prior years out of sheer Canadian politeness. We might be a tad rowdy this year. Our apologies

I actually have the Raptors going to the finals this year, my Magic will win a couple games though.

IF or WHEN the inevitable Game 1 collapse happens, is realgm ready for the massive jam that will happen?

Threads like : TROSS is our Father.
JV > Gasol.
DD is more clutch than Kawhi.
Old man Serge is really 50 yrs old
Lebronto is now T-Rossto

Would sprout every minute yeah?

[Lana Del Rey]

It's game time.

I wonder how much does Terrence Ross being a former Toronto player affect him playing in Toronto, He should be the most comfortable magic player playing in Toronto. If you used to play for them, You shouldn't be intimated or affected by the crowd. I'll have my eye on him for those games in Toronto.

[First Step]

I hope everyone sticks with the narrative that the Raptors are playoff chokers.

The Raptors strategy has been designed around the playoffs and a deep run. They were using the regular season as R&D and are built for this moment.

The Magic have been scratching and clawing just to make the playoffs this season. They haven't had the luxury of a R&D regular season where they could experiment with the roster as much as the Raptors.

The Magic won't know what will hit them, and I see them getting swept. Raps way too physical for them.

Raps in 5. Can see it going 4.

[sprewellchokes]

Raps in 5. They always lose Game 1 anyway.

Derozan and Casey isn't here anymore. So are you gonna tell me that kawhi and Danny green will fold to keep up raptors tradition? Or fold to the pressure of dj Augustine or Aaron Gordon?

Its a joke bro.

Relax.

Raps fans are a touchy bunch when it comes to the playoffs.

2) Does coin-flip Ross (hate that name btw) continue his hot stroke and gets revenge from the team that traded him or are the bright lights too much for him and disappear as past history has shown?

excellent post. just want to point out that maybe you hate that nickname because it apparently got lost in translation on the way to Orlando. It's 'Coin-Toss Ross' which I think you'll admit is far superior.

[metafisical]

I am tired of all the racism against Orlando. I think the series will go between 4 to 7 games. The winners will win.

It's the last step before hopelessness, so we're just trying to keep it together at this point haha

Especially for those of us who stopped watching the Leafs because it just hurt too much. We turned to basketball for an escape and it's felt all too familiar for the last 20 years

Physicality is not something the Magic have a problem with.

Raps in five, wouldn’t be surprised if Magic’s lone win is game one.

[Ice Trae]
