PistonFan of course, but D-town was a little soft on defense this year. Not holding my breath that Flip is going to suddenly make the team different in the play-offs.

You weren't here to see how he played and whined day in and day out, all after the raptors organization waited on him and his mother hand and foot.

That said, we are over the trade, its just become a rivalry and its fun to boo your enemy.

Alot of people are. No surprise really considering the fact that Nets have 3 very good players and alot more playoff experience. It will be interesting nonetheless.

I just think alot of people are forgetting that the Nets are a 500 ball club that still couldn't beat a decent team even with their big 3 back.

This is a team that while battling for a playofff spot in early April lost by 31 to the Bulls and 18 to the Cavs.

At that point i wouldnt have said they have their big 3 back. Jefferson is still getting better with each game. He even said on the last night of the season that he hasn't been 100%

Nets have one of the most experienced playoff teams in the East, especially health-wise. I think they have a chance of going to the Championship, but then again I'm biased.

experience is what will determine nets vs. raptors.

nesterovic has played in 54 playoff games, and the rest of the raptor's rotation have been in 28.

jason kidd has played in 88 by himself.

go nets.

And your point was just proven down the stretch. I think the Nets really can go far as long as Nachbar continues to give those clutch 15ppg he's been averaging in the last month or so

I didn't say we'd win every home game.

just more games at home then on the road, which is what I think will be the difference

Bulls got lucky, bullshit charges all over the place as well as goaltending not being called. Heat will take game 2 no problem, Deng wont have a game like that again.

i agree with the bullshit charges - but they went both ways...calls were pretty iffy for both teams.

Want the Heat to win nonetheless...

especially those few that hinrich got called on.

But that's ok, Sefolosha did more than stand his own against Wade. They should put him more out there. As soon as Hinrich came back in, Wade started making shots.

My prediction, Bulls in 5

Nets 1: 0 Raptors. I don't know but after watching the first game. I think Nets is going to pull this off.

That couldn't have been more evident than it was today.

Nachbar is very impressive, I love his game.

But after having watched nearly all the Raptors games this year I can confidently say that was one of the worst all year. And it was only a 4 point game. Their game is all about ball movement and there was very little of that today. Toronto has all year had difficulty adjusting to zone defenses. You'd think they'd have a plan.

I still think the Nets win this but its far from over.

Well, thanks for the Captain Obvious statement of the week, dom. They still have at least 3 more games to go.

So, like duh...
