... will be key to the Raptors success in this series. Both these teams don’t have any sort of proven track record with these rosters and it will be important to see how both these teams come out and play, in particular the Raptors. Toronto struggled mightily over the final two months of the season and you’ve got to think really wanted to play the Magic in the first round.

Game 1: Horrible defense, lack of plan kills off Raptors — Arsenalist
Toronto Raptors 100, Orlando Magic 114
The Magic came out with a plan. The Raptors came out with dick.

There’s no favorite in this series — Arsenalist
If there is a series where everybody has little clue which way its going to go, it has to be the Raptors vs. Magic. At best one can say that it might go 7 games given the makeup and recent history of the two teams. Orlando has lost 7 of the last 9 against us but did finish well above us in the standings but the highly similar structure of the two teams (PF + shooters) makes this one too ...
