Will the mighty Raptors fall at the first hurdle?
Will the mighty Raptors fall at the first hurdle?

Prediction:

This should be a fun first round series
Washington vs. Toronto should be a good first-round series

Despite stumbling into the playoffs, the Wizards have enough talent and playoff experience to make this a compelling series. John Wall and Bradley Beal both have the ability to be the best player on the floor during any game in this series. In the NBA, that alone is enough to ensure that a team remains competitive.

However, while Washington can take the Raptors to the brink, the Canadian Outfit's depth should be enough to ensure a series win. The Wizards have also developed a few bad habits over the course of the season which could come back to bite them in crucial moments.
