How? the Nets are "expected" to win by everyone, have 500000000 games of playoff experience. If they don't even beat the Raptors, a $130 million roster will have failed to beat a team that was expected to tank this yearAll the pressure is on Brooklyn bro
For the overall series, sure. For game 1? It would be pretty bad for the Raps if they drop game 1. For Brooklyn, they just need to win either of the first two games to take HCA. Whether it's game 1 or game 2, it doesn't matter for them.
And everyone expects them to win? Huh? The vast majority of people here picked the Raptors. ESPN's "experts" are pretty much divided down the middle as to who will win. There was a video posted earlier with Coach Nick who picked the Raptors to win. The Nets losing would be a failure based on pre-season expectations...but as of right now, most people are picking the Raptors.
Right. 394 votes for TOR in 4
You think that has anything to do with their being a lot of TOR fans on this forum ?
What I wouldn't beat against is PP ( The Truth ) and KG.. in the playoffs.
Regular season meant very little to those two.
