The young and athletic Toronto Raptors led by dynamic point guard Kyle Lowry, explosive shooter at 2 guard Terrence Ross, and slasher DeMar DeRozan will face up against the veteran led Brooklyn Nets led by playmaker Deron Williams, scorers Joe Johnson and Paul Pierce, and The Big Ticket Kevin Garnett. Should be a very close series although I am expecting the Nets o come out on top.

 

Starters:

Toronto Raptors                                            Brooklyn Nets

PG: Kyle Lowry                                             PG: Deron Williams

SG: Terrance Ross                                      SG: Shaun Livingston

SF: DeMar DeRozan                                    SF: Joe Johnson

PF: Amir Johnson                                         PF: Paul Pierce

C:  Jonas Valanciunas                                  C: Kevin Garnett

 

This should be a very competitive series. Youth vs. Experience to the fullest extent.

I'm a Warriors fan first, but being from Canada I root for the Raps when possible.

Toronto and Brooklyn match up pretty evenly, however the experience of Brooklyn will be the difference in this one.

It's too bad Toronto with the type of season they had ended up with Brooklyn as their first round opponent. It was looking like it's be Washington up until the last night of games.

Lowry is playing for a contract this off season so I expect to him to have a big series win or lose. Ive watched almost every Raps game this year, there inability to close out games or hit the big shots will hurt them in the playoffs.

Anyway, I hope the Raps can pull off the upset. I'm heading to Toronto early May and would live to catch some playoff ball.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      https://nfltraderumors.co/2026-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams/      Grade: B+ Best Pick: Sam Hecht Biggest Reach (consensus rank): Jackson Kuwatch (NR) It's easy to love what Carolina did. The Panthers traded four times but ended the draft with the same number of selections that they started with and in approximately the same ranges. They did not take a player ahead of the consensus until Kuwatch at No. 227, and it's easy to see how he fell through the cracks playing at Miami of Ohio. He's a high-end athlete, though, and has a chance to develop, which is a fine profile for a seventh-rounder. Freeling and Brazzell also checked the high-end athleticism upside boxes for the Panthers. Carolina let the board come to them in the first round and could have a long-term solution at left tackle, which is a hard position to fill. Brazzell slid because of some maturity concerns as well as the difficulty in projecting receivers from Tennessee's Mickey Mouse offense. At 6-4, 200 pounds and 4.37 in the 40, though, the upside is undeniable. On top of that, the landed three starters on Day 3. Normally that's a high and unrealistic bar, but Hecht and Wheatley were both firmly inside the top 100 on the consensus board and have paths to win starting competitions. Lee fits the scheme well and has some interesting traits as an outside corner. What stopped me from a full-out A grade is not loving the Hunter pick, though he does fill a need to replace DT A'Shawn Robinson. There were prospects at other needs positions I would have been more jazzed about. The Brazzell pick is also an interesting risk for a team that's still in building mode, even coming off an NFC South title. Still, I'm nitpicking

      I was just a teenager when I joined in 2013. I've loved the many opinions on this forum, even though several are infuriating. I've had several bad takes, myself,  that I've hopefully grown out of over the years.
