I find it so funny that so many of you thought this would be a series we would dominate. Sometimes I really feel I'm the only one who's been watching this team year after year. This is typical Raptors style. They either are just shit or they play well long enough for you to start believing and then let you down. I was always worried about the first round for us no matter who we played because we are known to choke and I would not be shocked in the least if we lost this series. But that's just me. I'm the pessimist around here. Even though I rather call it the realist. Every time I listen to Demar, Kyle and Casey speak in an interview I know we are losing this series. Not one of them is getting it. Not one

I can imagine it now. The post second round series press conference ; "Yeah we accomplished our goal, we made it to the 2nd round at least"

I want to clarify something:
It's not that I thought that we would sweep, it's that I thought that we should be thinking sweep when we win 56 games and get the two seed.
If you win 56 games, get the two seed, have your third straight year of home court advantage and win total increasing, you shouldn't be worried about a first round matchup or you're doing something wrong.twitter.com/anthonysmdoyle

Also I don't think anyone was thinking sweep. But we should be dominating this matchup. No way should we be playing on our heels

Raptors are the better team but, they lack experience. Pacers is a team full of players that have gone deep in the playoffs, they have the best player in the series and they have a top 5 defense.

At this point, with the series tied 2-2, the odds are still heavily in our favour. We're the better team on paper, 2 of the next 3 games are at home, and our best 2 players have played like pylons the whole series. Surely, they'll break out of their funk at some point, right? It's our series to lose.
But IF we lose this series, we'll just need to invent a time machine and tank for Wiggins.

I understand the notion that it is the playoffs and we don't have the team that can sweep. But I honestly thought that in order for us to lose a game or two PG would have to absolutely go off. Game 1 wasn't disheartening because I knew they would get at least one, but Game 4 was something else. Everyone on their team was clicking, which is scary now going into game 5.
