I don't think the Raptors would have won more than one game against the Heat, but Lowry and DeRozan would have been more entertaining.

Well, this is the reason why KG and Pierce is with Brooklyn. For someone to motivate and lead the team after a demoralizing loss. I still think that Brooklyn can take at least one, but whether they can make the series competitive, let's see.

that was disappointing. Lets see how they respond the next game.
They were actually close until Blatche came in.

Did KG or Pierce shake Allen's hand?

Really impressed with the lack of turnovers for Miami as well as their half court offense, they were so precise and the execution was Spurs esque.

Raps are 0-16 against the big 3...so maybe it would of been a 10 point blowout instead of 20.

The Raptors are the better team and would have put up a better fight. The Nets had a favourable sched against the Raps with the extra time off between games and the short travel time. Now they are 7 hard games deep and with far less rest between games.
This whole "reputation" based refereeing system is hurting the league more than it is helping.

The refs in the NBA are the worst thing it has going for it and it seems to be doing nothing to fix it.

no, he should not miss jumpshots, he should have went to the bench with wade together and let the role players find some rhythm. the game was done, also why risking a injury? Same happened to Rose.

How was Brooklyn unprepared for this HEAT defense? KG, Kidd and Pierce have all faced the playoff HEAT. They got smothered while Miami was crisp in the halfcourt. The playoff Heatles are a different beast. RS means nothing to them.

I'd say that this game went just about how we expected it to. The only question is whether BKN gets swept or if they take a game.

Kenny was making the point that Brooklyn is good at slowing LeBron down in the break. And this hurts the Heat's transition points. Kenny was trying to do the "Nets can compete in the series" angle.

Chuck then said "yeah, if they had got those transition points they may have won by 30 (rather than 20)." Point being, Nets have no shot.
