And there goes mine, AfterHours's, and Merc's Raptors sweep prediction. I still think they'll win the series but dude they suck in Game 1s.
I did my predictions before the season was over, but I didn't want the Raps facing the Magic. The Magic have great D, and have been on fire of late. I still don't think they'll beat the Raps in a 7 game series, but I would've bet on them taking a game or two (Especially game 1. Especially with Lowry 0 for 7. Fun fact - did you know Lowry is 1-9 in game 1s?) _________________ Finnegan was super bad-ass.
if you think the bucks will win over the raptors you are either delusional or trolling
Was that a response to somebody? I don't think it's impossible, should be a close series. I think Bucks are a deeper team, and if Brogdon comes back, it should help their chances. But I don't know, Raptors starting 5 is amazing, and Gasol was also a fantastic pickup for them defensively. Anyway they need to win this round first, I don't think Raptors will have major problems, but still believe Celtics can make it close.
Also, just realized Kanter is hurt. If he's not going to play, I may need to change that prediction to Nuggets winning vs Blazers. I don't think he's a game changer, but with Nurk already out, I don't see how they'll stop Jokić.
Warriors over Rockets in 6 (even though I think it is statistically more logical to call it in 7, and perhaps even more now with the possible injuries for the Warriors including Cousins being out)
Denver over Blazers in 6
Celtics over Bucks in 7 (even though I think it is more logical, when the talent is virtually equal, to go with the more consistent and highly focused team all-year long, which is the Bucks ... Celtics are probably the deepest team in the NBA ... I am betting, possibly illogically, that their bad habits/boredom/distractions throughout the year are behind them now that they're in the playoffs)
76ers over Raptors in 7 (even though I think all stats/logical analysis point to a Raptors win ... I am betting -- perhaps over playing my hand -- that the 76ers overwhelming talent in their starting 5 will figure it out in time to squeeze out the series ... and that Embiid will completely take over the longer the series goes) _________________ Best Classical Best Films Best Paintings
