i call raps in 6 as well. Bosh is supermans kryptonite!

The only magic trick we will be seeing is the revival of Il Mago!

Toronto is playing their worst basketball since BC made the changes tow off seasons ago.


**** At least appreciate the fact that we're in the playoffs. People seem to forget how **** we were only two seasons ago.

I know the Raptors forum is all doom and gloom these days but lets put that aside.

New season starts Sunday! Raps in 6!

I do appreciate it. I get sick of all those Ford/Calderon just like you do.

I just know Toronto has no chance of winning this series.

Its either Raps in 6, or we lose the series. Cause it will be at home. And I don't see us winning any earlier and we're probably not gonna win in Orlando in game 6.

I'm thinking Orlando in 6. I hope Im wrong, but I dont see the toughness needed to win big palyoff games on the road. I also wont be surprised to see LONG droughts where our wings can put it in the ocean

These is the matchup everyone here wanted (and probably the raps themselves) so lets hope they dont blow it.

The one thing in our favor - and it's not much - is that we do match up well with Orlando. Whereas Bosh underachieves against a top defender like Rasheed or KG, he has had his career best games the past two seasons against the Magic. And our point guards match up well against Jameer, Dooling and Arroyo. History doesn't buy us any wins, but it should put us in a more positive mindframe than getting ready to play Detroit, which has owned us for longer than I can remember.

I also voted Raps in 6. I also think that Rasho will be an x-factor in this series.

LET'S GO RAPTORS! ...umm...D-12 Sucks...?

You are such a bundle of sunshine.
9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

My crystal ball says: Raps in 7!

Hoping Raps steal one in Orlando in the first two games... :pray:
