With all due respect to the Orlando Magic, the NBA Playoffs unofficially begin on Saturday. Toronto and Philadelphia have seemed destined to meet in the postseason, especially given the similar paths they’ve had to endure to get to this point.

They also both overcame Game 1 hiccups and completed their own Douchebag Sweeps.
