Masai should’ve signed this guy before the season was finished, fuck.

Raps should win the series, but expect some close games and maybe a loss or 2. Magic are no slouch.

Orlando in general boasted the league’s eighth-best defensive rating (Toronto was fifth-best), as Aaron Gordon and Jonathan Isaac are two of the league’s most fearsome defenders from the wing position. The fact that Gordon and Isaac matched up against Toronto’s best scorers, in Kawhi Leonard and Pascal Siakam, is probably the single biggest reason why Toronto struggled to score. You’ll see a more detailed matchup breakdown later.

Orlando’s success in those matchups is no fluke. Gordon and Isaac ranked 12th and 13th, respectively, among power forwards, per Jacob Goldstein’s defensive PIPM. Orlando combined their stingy defence with the league’s seventh-lowest pace and sixth-lowest turnover rate to keep games sludgy, with few high-percentage looks for either teams. Orlando wants to slow the game down and let Vucevic create medium-efficiency looks, hoping those will outdo whatever the opponent can manage on the other end.

Orlando’s numbers in the second half of the season, since February 1, are even better. They have the league’s second-best defence, and the fourth-best net rating (behind Toronto at third). They are not a normal 7-seed. Orlando is a very good team, and they are more dangerous than any other possible matchup Toronto could have drawn in the 2-7 bracket.

Gonna be fun couple of weeks. Raptors should sweep the Magic. And i fully expect my Boston Bruins to beat the Laffs in 5 games.

I just remember watching a Kings game and Heild kinda went off, but was benched in the fourth quarter for Corey Brewer. That was shortly after the all star break, really wasnt surprised they went on a losing streak after that. I’d believe the guy got some complaints.

Maceo Baston? Maybe?

Nice looking schedule actually:

Locked in and ready to roll...Raps in 5. Tough to win 4 straight. One of their guys will have a monster night. Guy like Ross who was hot last night getting 35 off the bench.

Yup, I was thinking Baston too.

They don't have a guy who's capable of taking over games or putting up monster numbers. Ross is not that dude.

Raptors in 4.

i think ross will have 1 big game almost guaranteed. Its going to have to be a MONSTER game tho to steal a win.
