The creator of this thread had one job: Don't make "Raps in 4" an option.

I'm aware of that. Jokes are supposed to be funny. Nobody finds it funny anymore.


I find it funny, so do 44 other people.

Go have your little cry someplace else thanks.

He has so much to cry about, poor guy is just overwhelmed with emotion.

Out of all the series in the eastern conference this is the one I'm most interested in watching. I give the raptors a lot of credit this season they have played well even though the east overall is weak gotta give credit where it's due. I got the nets in 6 though

am I the only one not impressed by the Raptors?

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

That really doesn't help Brooklyn's popularity. No one likes the Lannisters.

Interesting series. I'm gonna go Raps in 7 but I'm not super confident about it. Youth v. experience, faster pace v. slower pace, first time playoff coaches, lot of subplots here. I just think the Nets really tanked it late in the year and it will be hard to find a rhythm again. Then again, I don't trust that the raptors have defined go-to scoring roles in tight playoff situations. Take the home team I say

I assume all the Raps in 4 votes are straight trollingggggg

Why are the Raps the 3rd seed instead of Chi?

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.

Doesn't wining a division guarantee you a top 4 seed but not necessarily top 3?

The Nets match up great with Toronto and have the overwhelming experience advantage.

With PP and KG, no doubt they will come ready to play. PP still has some gas in the tank to dish out.

Nets pull the upset in 6.

Dwane Casey was the lead assistant on that Mavs championship team and responsible for their defense. How is that no experience? I also didn't realize what an accomplished coach Kidd was either.
