If the playoffs started today we would face the Toronto Raptors in the first round. This is pretty scary for a few reasons. Chris Bosh can "cancel" out Dwight Howard on any given night. Calderon and Ford are light years above our point guards. And they have a good defensive team.
The good news for us is that they are the 2nd worst rebounding team in the NBA. BUT, they are a better offensive rebounding team than we are. Both teams are near the bottom of the league, though. We have dropped our turnover numbers this season but the Magic are still in the middle of the pack when it comes to turnovers per game. Good thing Toronto is in the bottom of the league when it comes to steals per game. But we still need to watch out for Ford; he is the fastest guy in the league.
Our main advantage would come at the times where Bosh does happen to cancel out Dwight. We have more offensive power to help out the big guy in times of need. Bosh, on the other hand, is their main offensive weapon. No other player on the Raptors averages over 13 points per game.
Tickets for the playoffs have gone on sale today, for the Magic. Yet the dates and times are still up in the air. A rep at the RDV said the dates should be known for the playoffs by Friday or Saturday. I'll be attending at least one home game in the first round. Lets get as many people in that arena as possible!! Buy your tickets early because they will be going fast!
