Air Gordon 156 Report post Posted April 16, 2016 I know we're not in it, and if you get technical this is posted in the wrong forum, but nobody seems to check the Around the NBA forum. Mods, feel free to move if you want it there instead. Seeing that there won't be too much Magic news for awhile, I figured we could talk playoffs in the meantime! They start today 12:30 IND/TOR 3:30 GSW/HOU 7:00 BOS/ATL 9:30 DAL/OKC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mauro Pedrosa 1,032 Report post Posted April 16, 2016 Portland, Celtics and Hornets get the first round upsets. GSW wins it in 6 against the Cavs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bauncey Chillups 288 Report post Posted April 16, 2016 Given the lack of traffic compared to yesteryear, I don't see the point of having a separate forum for non-Magic discussion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike1989 68 Report post Posted April 16, 2016 My predictions for the first round: Cleveland 4 - 0 Detroit Atlanta 4 - 3 Boston Miami 4 - 2 Charlotte Toronto 4 - 3 Indiana Golden State 4 - 0 Houston LA 4 - 2 Portland OKC 4 - 2 Dallas San Antonio 4 - 0 Memphis The play offs should be fun. Not sure I can see an "upset" in the first round, I think the top four seeds in both conferences will get through. But if I had to bet on one of the bottom four seeds beating one of the top four seeds it would be the Indiana beating Toronto who choke in the first round for the third year straight, or Boston beating Atlanta. I guess I could see Portland or Dallas maybe having a worldly series and sneaking past their respective opponents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted April 16, 2016 Given the lack of traffic compared to yesteryear, I don't see the point of having a separate forum for non-Magic discussion. Yeah, that's what I figure. I still separate basketball from non basketball discussion but most topic creation rules were meant to discourage 50 different post game discussion threads and stuff like that.

Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted April 16, 2016 I'm starting to see why we shouldn't throw money at derozan. This is three playoffs in a row where he plays below average Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Air Gordon 156 Report post Posted April 16, 2016 I'm starting to see why we shouldn't throw money at derozan. This is three playoffs in a row where he plays below average His game is based off of getting to the free throw line, which just isn't anywhere near as easy to do in the postseason.. I'm not interested in him here at all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
~O~ 565 Report post Posted April 16, 2016 I'm glad you guys are seeing the light. We don't need mental midgets on this team like the above mentioned. Its the player he is and always will be. Toronto Raptors fans have been all over his ass every playoffs and in big games this season. Players who are reliant on free throw shooting rather than skill shouldn't be are targets.
