@CantStop how can ANYONE guarantee a team will make it out of the first round if they don't know the first round matchups and whether or not the players will be healthy.

:what:


Youre making a guarantee under assumption a team isnt going to lose 3/5 of there starting 5 2 weeks before the playoffs which is a statistical inprobability..Why is that hard to understand ?

If the Raptors are healthy, they most definitely have a great chance of making it out of the first round. The problem is if they're not, the Eastern conference playoff teams are so close in ability, that a certain matchup and injuries can be the determining factor in them losing. I don't get why this is so hard for you to comprehend?
Stop talking about these injuries that haven't happened. You just don't believe that the Raptors are that good which is ok cause we also believe that. You're even lying to yourself saying that the Warriors may not make it past the first round to prove your point. Yea the Warriors who are on pace to have the goat record may not make it past the first round due to injuries that haven't happened and a potential matchup with the rockets or the Jazz. :heh:

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
I dont see either being able to beat us like it went down last 2 years....


You beat the Pistons in 5, they are too young and their defense is ass.


You should be able to beat the Pacers, but they would be much tougher since they can make games ugly with their defense and rely on PG to end them. Their offense is trash, but their defense is good enough for them to be a scary team to face in the first round. I'd put my money on the Raps to win in 6, but I wouldn't be shocked if they upset yall.

I can guarantee the Warriors, Spurs, Thunder, Cavs and Hawks make it past the first round. Easy. Wasn't hard at all.

:mjlol:

Here's the problem, if I can guarantee that they'll make it out of the first round, and the improbable does happen this clown @CantStop will be in here saying bububut you guaranteed the Raptors would get out of the first round - failing to use any appropriate context on why they didn't.

If you can see a guarantee can be made under the assumption that a team will be healthy when dicussing who will make it out of the first round, why have you been tagging me all throughout the season when I said this team has the potential of being a top-10 defensive team (under the assumption that they're healthy - you know DeMarre actually playing)?

You're using a double standard here.

I don't give a fukk about you or anybody bringing up what I might be wrong about. You want me to say 100% the Raptors will make it through the first round, when the game doesn't work like that. You should be privy to this by now to understand how shyt works.

If the Raptors make it past the first round, it won't mean shyt by itself - it'll depend on how they win and who they play. And it's going to take more than a first round series win to prove they're "legit".

And there we have it.

But you don't care what I have to say right...


Case closed. You just admitted you're scared to make a prediction because of me running you out the forum if your prediction fails. Too easy.

Exactly. No one criticized anyone or shyt on Bulls fans when Rose went down and they lost to the Sixers.

Actually they did shyt on the Bulls, but that's besides the point. The point is, I'm not making guarantees like that only for the possibility of certain players getting injured (and they lose) and folk use that to suggest that even if they were healthy they still wouldn't do shyt in the playoffs. I mean shyt just look at all the opposition to this thread - how won't folk use their preconceived notions (going on Toronto's past postseason history) of this team not being legit, even if they're not healthy?

If the Raptors bow out because of injuries, it'll be easy for folk to say - "well, they weren't going to shyt anyway, it's the Raptors".

Of course they will.

Most don't think too highly of the Raptors as it stands, if they lose in the first round, they'll be quick to say that even if Lowry wasn't injured the Raptors weren't going to do shyt in the playoffs anyway. You're a Raptors fan, you should know the stigma that surrounds your team.
