LeBron and the postseason have proven to be the Achilles heel for the Raptors in the past. Luckily, they have to focus on only one of those roadblocks now. Stacking up against the Magic, Toronto clearly have a headstart in terms of talent and playoff experience, but their inconsistency in the recent past does raise some considerable doubt.
Prediction: The Toronto Raptors may falter on the road, however, they should be expected to eliminate Orlando in six games, if not earlier.
