Shaq Predicting A First Round Sweep: NBA World Reacts

April 11, 2022 by The Spun

Shaquille O'Neal walks the red carpet.

Shaq is predicting a first-round sweep in one of the four Eastern Conference playoff matchups.

A popular pick for a short series has been the Bulls-Bucks series, but Shaq went in a different direction. He thinks that the Philadelphia 76ers won’t let the Toronto Raptors take a game off them.

“Toronto’s getting swept, write it down,” Shaq said.

These teams are in the 4-5 matchup and look close to evenly matched so this is a series that’s likely to go six or seven games. Despite the Raptors not being as good as they were three years ago, they can still play with anybody.

The NBA world isn’t a fan of Shaq’s take on how the series will go.

I love Shaq, but there’s no way on God’s green Earth we will sweep Toronto. I’m not even expecting us to win, due to the fact Nick Nurse is a much better coach than Doc Rivers. https://t.co/9oHP2MIZo7

Sweep? That’s a bit generous. Sixers in 6, IMO. https://t.co/uVB3CKe554
