I really think its gonna end up being:

Pacers vs Hawks (1 vs 8)

Heat vs Cats (2 vs 7)

Bulls vs Nets (3 vs 6)

Raps vs Wiz (4 vs 5)

we play wiz in 1st rd and if we win that series, Pacers in 2nd rd?


Why wouldn't chicago simply lose to get that 4th seed? At this point it is out of our hands. Doesn't matter if we rest guys or not

Remember what we did after we got swept by the Knicks in our first playoff series?

We went back at them the year after and took them out. That's how you get respect. I'd love to see this scrappy bunch take on Brooklyn and then the Heat.

Chicago plays an hour earlier than the Raps. Can get a solid idea of how that game will go before the Raps even play.

Here's my source, it's not written in stone:

http://www.thestar.com/sports/raptors/2 ... ctory.html

And there is no certainty that DeRozan will play Wednesday when the Raptors wrap up the season in New York.

“We’ll see what we decide on that,” said Casey. “Amir’s had time off, Kyle’s had time off, he’s the only guy with big minutes that hadn’t had time off. I could just see a pep in Kyle’s step since he’s had his rest, so we’ll see how it goes.”

So it depends on whether the nets win tonight.

Weds is going to be crazy.

I can see Charlotte beating chi
Wiz beating Bos
And the Nets dropping both their games.

That would be the worse outcome cause it means bkn/ Miami in the 1st and 2nd round

If the Bulls win and the Raps game is close, bring out the 4 PG lineup with Novak at center!

Buycks
DeColo
Stone
Vasquez
Novak

Its going to get weird if the Net lose tonight.

Tommorow will be like a chess match. Scoreboard watching while your playing.

Chicago/Charlotte start an hour before us, so if we lead early on they might get confortable getting a win going into the playoffs. While we tank after we find out that they won.

If Brooklyn rest their guys today, and end up playing tommorow it'll look odd.


Hopefully Chicago beats Charlotte before our game is done.
Hopefully Cleveland can put a show for their home crowd and win.
Hopefully Washington can beat Boston.


We'll see how it goes.


It's going to a wild last night, that's for sure.

And Jason Kidd had beat us in the playoffs before so I can see him pulling off that type of stunt.

Only problem is I think it would light a match under Toronto to kill them I'm the playoffs.

Bring on those bishes from Brooklyn

Bring on the Heat.

Look at us underestimating our first round opponent, lol.

Come on guys, let's take it baby steps here. We are the Raptors for crying out loud.

Does it really make a difference? Everyone is expecting some leap of confidence if we were to beat Indiana miraculously in the 2nd round and play hard against Miami? We'll be playing them regardless, so why not play the team we're scared of in the second round and win it all from there :D
