The playoff matchups were only set for a few minutes and the Raptors are already getting dunked on by American media.
After it was confirmed the fifth-seeded Raptors would meet the fourth-seeded Philadelphia 76ers in the first round, former player turned analyst Shaquille O’Neill made his feelings known on the NBA on TNT broadcast.
“Philly’s going to have a battle with Toronto,” said host Ernie Johnson. Shaq was quick to shake his head in disagreement.
“No way,” said the Hall of Famer. “Toronto is getting swept. Write it down.”
He then went on to praise Sixers star Joel Embiid, who just became the first center since Shaq himself to win the scoring title.
