You are mistaken. It's not only Vasquez. Tyler Hansbrough, John Salmons, Chuck Hayes, Kyle Lowry, Nando de Colo, Amir Johnson, Landry Fields and Steve Novak have all appeared in the playoffs before as well.

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

What are you talking about Dwane Casey was Rick Carlisle #1 assistant in Dallas when they won the championship.

I agree, but the raps aren't good enough to overcome that old age imo


It's not hard to outrun and out-jump old men and the Raptors have plenty of athletic guys on their roster to exploit that fact. I also like their size when they go big, and they have HCA. By the way, have you seen the Nets road record? Or is "veteran leadership" only applicable to home games?

Really doesn't reflect well on Raptors fans that they're already crying about the refs before the series even started.

IF they go big.

Which is a big IF, if you watched Raps ball this year.

It's as much of a disadvantage as an advantage. We're going to give them problems with our athleticism and young legs

They were doing it before the series was even set in stone, pathetic.

It's pretty funny how butt hurt Raptors fans are that the Nets sat their veterans in a game that didn't mean anything. Putting yourself in a better position to advance...seems crazy, huh?
