as it stands the Raps will have to play Brooklyn first round..5 games..the Raps have the home advantage, they must not lose that. if they lose the home advantage they will lose the series.

I have no faith in this dam raptors team..none at all. it is a less sturdy team than last years team. and Brooklyn is a coming team..a young team one its way up. that counts for a lot..even more with Orlando..but the Raps luckily will miss Orlando first round

but if the Raps are the winners of the 7/2 first round then they meet the winner of the 6/3 first round Philly/Detroit. if that is Detroit the Raps are up a Creek with Detroit. the Raps would beat Philly easier than they can beat Detroit. Detroit is really really motivated when they play Toronto. I would like to see Nick Nurse get out of that one

I expect Boston to beat Indy in the 4/5 match-up. neither can beat Milwaukee..nor can Miami/Orlando beat Milwaukee first round

and the raps better beat those teams this year because they are all on the rise..Orlando, Brooklyn, Detroit..even Indiana. this is the last year for some time Toronto will be capable of beating those teams. their trajectories are in the opposite directions..Toronto down, those teams upwards

hahahahaha!!! a sane development in LA..Magic Quits!

Magic smartened up! he prolly realized he made a supreme mistake in grabbing LeBron. you cant build a team with an aging superstar at high cost and no one around him.

few if any stars want to play with LeBron now so no big name is going to sign with Lakers. I mean Lakers got so desperate they almost gave away their whole team for one superstar to play with LeBron. that would have been a sight to behold.

but set up to pull off such an insane trade, by his clash with the Lakers coach Luke Walton Magic realized that the situation was insane and that he had walked into the centre of it and sullied himself.

and of course there was/is nowhere for the Lakers to go but down for years to come while they truly rebuild the team and stop looking for quick fixes by spending huge money for stars. Magic prolly realized all this and decided that he could not stick around that long, that he did not want a long building job. most importantly LeBron was a huge mistake and all that can be done now is to trade away LeBron and really focus on youth

so Magic quits a truly ridiculous situation that yields to only one approach..REBUILD!
