i seriously don't understand why people wanna face washington so bad… we matchup well against them but if they get hot from 3 its over for us… our defense allows for a lot of open 3s… plus they have a lot of talent and playoff experience… the bucks on the other hand are young, inexperienced, less talented and can't shoot 3s which is favourable for us… would rather face the bucks tbh.

wiz is a pick'em. bucks we should beat.

Chicago holds the tie breaker over us right ? We have to finish ahead of them out right to get 3rd seed ?

Bucks we should beat in 4 or 5. Most likely 5 because.....raptors.

Wiz i say 6. Even with our success over them, playoffs are a different animal and they have the talent to turn it up. But all in all we should be able to beat them.

We hold the tie-breaker due to winning the division. LeBron won theirs.

REALLY ?? If we finish tied for 3rd with the Bulls we get the 3rd seed because we won our division ??

Us being division winners trumps head to head record ??

I'd hope so. Imagine it didn't? We could get shafted out of the 3rd, and potentially home court, even though we won our division. There needs to be some new rules.

Yes, winning the division is always the first tie-breaker

Nice ! Thanks for the info. I was wondering why the raps were listed 3rd in the NBA standings on my phone app. Now I know why. 3rd seed just got that much closer.

Imagine the Nets got a top 3 pick

They'd have to give it to ATLANTA

The rich get richer

The Bucks are definitely the better match up but we shouldn't be too scared of playing the Wiz either. Sure, they could beat us because we're the Raptors, but the Wiz are a pretty bad team these days. They've been tanking harder than we have over the last couple months. They're 11 and 18 over their last 29 games. They've got a bunch of names but outside of Wall and Gortat, their names are more impressive than their production. Brad Beal might be the most overrated player in the league. The guy's PER is 13 this season yet he get's treated like he's some borderline All-Star on the cusp of exploding.

Yeah Beals been disappointing. One good playoff series really raised his stock. Still enough time for him to break out someday though. Wizards are also horribly coached I think.

but beal is coming back from a serious injury/injuries… i don't think people realize how hard it is to come back from an injury… he needs to be given more time to round into form… plus he's like 21 years old? cut him some slack, jeez, knee-jerk reactions and haters everywhere.

Round 2 is why. Raps would face Hawks or the 8th seed as opposed to the Cavs or whoever might beat them.

Seeding 4th would present the most favourable route for the Raps to get to the ECF.

Of course, 3 or 4... to me, whatever lol. Doesn't matter to me but I will still say the 4th seed is a more likely route to the ECF
