NBA Playoff Preview: Raptors vs Magic
(Click the image above to magnify)
Overview:
The Raptors went just 4-6 in their final 10 games, while the Magic finished 6-4, while resting players as necessary since playoff positioning was not really a question. The Raptors had a better win-loss record a year ago, but have played well this year nonetheless. Toronto features a team with a good offense (100.2 PPG) and a decent defense (97.3 PPG). They have a star in Chris Bosh, a star-in-the-making in T.J. Ford, and a decent bench with Jose Calderon, Jason Kapono, and Carlos Delfino headlining the second unit.
The Magic have had a very good season with 52 wins in the Eastern Conference. Hedo Turkoglu has really stepped up for the Magic, while Rashard Lewis hasn't lived up to his contract. At a very young age, Dwight Howard has shown that he is one of the best players in the league and is probably the best center in the league now that Amare Stoudemire is only playing power forward.
Prediction: Magic in 6
