If y'all meet in the 2nd round in the 1/4 match-up, I got the Wiz. Seen what Wall and Beal can do in the Playoffs first hand. Scary backcourt duo. Can't say the same for Lowry/Derozan in the postseason.
Wait ...
Hasn’t Lowry and DeRozan advanced further than Beal/Wall??
Or am I crazy?
Nothing against Toronto, but Lowry/Derozan were pretty unimpressive in that playoff run.
I remember they were about to lose to Indiana in round 1, then Vogel played Rodney Stuckey off the bench in the closeout game and he literally handed the game to the other team. Miami was a slugfest series and then Whiteside went down and the Heat had to start Winslow at center.
So far Lowry & Derozan haven't really put their stamp down yet as postseason players. Neither have Wall & Beal really, but they're younger and seem to be more natural in those situations.
Imo Toronto would handle Boston in a series, but Washington would beat Toronto. Cavs probably beat everyone. It just depends on matchups and how seedings play out.
