Raptors/Nets Series

Ok, this series has had a pretty boring start so far. Points of notice:

1) The Raptors are getting a little "welcome to the playoffs" business from the refs.

2) You ought to see the two empty suits that ESPN set up for this game...classic 3rd billing.

3) TOR's arena is damn near empty...sad.

4) TOR's fans appear to be thrilled with being behind early as long as Vince Carter misses shots.

Many Toronto fans dislike Vince Quitter.

Maybe, but they should be more concerned with their ability to Saunders.

Saunders = verb. - "hit more shots"

Re: Raptors/Nets Series

i see the nets taking this series. from goin to the game last week in toronto, they have a great home crowd, but battle-tested teams like the nets and pistons won't be fazed by it.

Re: Raptors/Nets Series

You can see how a team with one and half stars can be taken out of it if the star goes down for awhile and in this case Bosh sitting out most of the first half in foul trouble. Vince has sat too due to foul trouble, but RJ and the Kidd have played up to their expectations.

Of course as Low and I always point out, the points in the paint always play a big part in who wins and after 3 quarters, the nets are up 15 and they lead in the points in the paint, 42-14!!

Very true as the Raptors have needed 75% 3 Pt shooting in the 2nd half to get back into the game...that right there, is no way to live in the playoffs.

Re: Raptors/Nets Series

I turned away to the tiger-Sox game for 10 minutes and comback to the NBA and find the Rapts are back within 2??? But alas, the more experienced team won. Down only one game, but if the Rapts lose game 2 at home, this may be a Nets sweep!

"Many Toronto fans dislike Vince Quitter."
The problem started with the GM.
Now it's about to move to Minny. Is KG happy?
Congrats to the Raps. For restoring order.
One man can only do so much, before he has to do some reconning. I mean wrecking.
