Fail. How about doing a quick search instead of making crap up? They're 2-1 against the Nets post-Gay trade

Head coach= no playoff experience

If I'm not mistaken Vasquez is the only player who's even played in the playoffs.

Nets in 6

Casey was the defensive coach on the championship Dallas team. And I'm not even going to bother about your other comment.

Chi and Raps split their 4 games but Chi has a better conference record. Sorry for the random question, but I am a bit confused.

Nets in 6 is my prediction, experience a factor here.

TIEBREAKER BASIS:
(-) Tie breaker not needed (better overall winning percentage)
(1) Division leader wins tie from team not leading a division
(2) Head-to-head won-lost percentage
(3) Conference won-lost percentage

The Raptors won their division, the Bulls didn't.

Raptors won the atlantic.

The Atlantic is arguably the worst division in basketball

The Atlantic is arguable the worst division in basketball

fair enough, but that doesnt change the rules

this is still semi unfair, but its a lot better than it used to be with division winners being guaranteed top 3 seeds.

Series could go either way, especially if Demar gets shutdown (could easily happen)... but I think our home court, ball movement, and our defense (if we can get back to how we were playing before the last 2 weeks) gives us a small edge.. raps in 6 or 7

I wanted to avoid the nets like the plague.

In terms of coaching experience in the Playoffs Casey has Kidd beat. He may not have been to the Playoffs as a head coach but he was a part of the Dallas run as the lead assistant and was responsible for the zone that stopped Lebron.

The Raptors players clearly have less playoff experience but most have actually played in the Playoffs before typically as a roleplayer. The only ones that lack any playoff experience are Ross, JV, Derozan, Patterson and Buycks

Should turn out to be a long and hard fought series

Toronto is gonna get screwed by the refs big time; but that will pale in comparison to how much Casey will get schooled by Kidd.
