Toronto Raptors vs. Brooklyn Nets Playoff Series Thread

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.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
