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?

Yep we have...Saltics fans and Wiz fans just ...salty

With that being said, Mo Mamba has a chance to be way better than him.

Wall and Beal are significantly better Playoff performers than Lowry and Derozan. That isn't even up for debate.

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.

Yet they’ve made the conference finals and Beal and Wall haven’t .

Why do the Thunder always have trouble against bad lottery teams that are tanking? Suns are giving them everything they can handle.

They narrowly escaped defeat against the Mavericks in overtime. They also had trouble against the Magic before that game.

Red flags should be raised for those of you who think the Thunder are going to go far in the post season.

They played no good teams until Cleveland in that run. I'd take last seasons Hawks over any team that Raptors beat in that run quite easily.
