I'm confused. How could the Nets tank on purpose when 3 and 4 seed wasn't decided, so the Nets could have still ended up playing the Bulls had the Bulls beat the Bobcats tonight.

Huh what we wanted, the Nets are the one that dropped to 6th to face us. We've been just trying to win every game.

The Bulls game was a bit earlier. Regardless, you have a point. They just want another reason to hate on the nets, and play the victims and ''we get no respect'' card, fine by me.

I'll make sure to quote you on this 4 games into the series.

You should just quote me now so you can avoid the dissappointment. I'm guessing every raptors fan will make up some conspiracy theory that the NBA is out to get them :lol:

And won one on a moronic Deron Williams turnover, you can't take anything from the season series other than these two teams are evenly matched.

2nd Game in Toronto was a blowout. We almost won that other game in Brooklyn, too. This is the team Brooklyn wanted, so I am glad it worked out for you all.

Good luck Raps bros, will be pulling for you guys hard against the Nets (not just because they swept us in the reg. season). They are blatantly disrespecting both our teams by tanking in order to play you guys, and perhaps us. You've got some good young talent and veteran leadership on the team. Run them off the floor.

Scoreboard, end of the day the season series is 2-2, and it doesn't even matter anymore.

They played Jason Collins 31 minutes tonight. He played 30 minutes prior to that.

Honestly, I don't know if this had to do with the 1st or the 2nd round. Remember, the Nets are 4-0 against the Heat and KG and Pierce definitely want to face LeBron and Allen again.

The first game being before the trade is a factor because of the Nets struggles on the road. Raptors have one of the better home crowds in the nba but in the first game the crowd was not a factor cause team sucked and nobody cared. In January when the Raptors were on a run and the crowd was in it they blew the Nets out 96-80, a similar result might occur in the Playoffs with how crazy the ACC gets

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.

Raptors won the atlantic.

The Atlantic is arguably the worst division in basketball

Oh, I'm sorry the Raptors missed the chance to have consistent games against the Milwaukee Bucks, Cleveland Cavaliers and Detroit Pistons. Would have been rough...

The nets were without two starters on that game.

Why are we even talking about the regular season anymore, if you think the raptors will that's fine by me, i just wouldn't take anything from the regular season, the playoffs are a different animal.
