With tip-off in a few hours, it’s time to assess the probable tactics of both Raptors and the Magic. Most predict that Toronto will have a relatively easy time with Orlando — our official position: Raps in 5 — but that doesn’t mean the Raps don’t have to prepare.
As you’ll recall, last season I reviewed strategies that opposing teams used against the Raptors. Part of the process was determining whether it was effective or not, and how the other team might (or should) respond. I also offered post-game suggestions — which were wrongly ignored! — but were offered nonetheless.
