Lol what a BS statement by Ross as well. Nothing wrong with him wanting to play Brooklyn, though, people are so sensitive over this kind of thing, i don't get why.

You'll get why, when you visit Nets.com.


LOL WOW, WTF? that's wrong.

I agree, it's pretty soft. Come on Raps fans, post more! This thread needs to be at least 100 pages before tip-off. Is this the Nets board or something? Post!

Based on mathematical formulas to calculate the growth of the Nets fanbase, one of their threads could potentially reach 27 pages shortly before the end of the world in 2100 or so.

Yeah, he bought it back in 2012 as a FU to Prokhorov.

This was posted there at one point in time, in addition to a reference to Russian prostitutes your owner bought for his guests. Of course, Cuban was very subtle about all of this. :rofl:

Good point. I'm rooting for the Raptors just because Raptors fans love the Cavs (Bennett and TT) so I should return the favor.

The continuing occurence of this re-direct event, and the possibility of money changing hands behind the scenes, through umbrella corporations, suggests otherwise. :wink:

This is going to be the 2007 playoffs all over again. Raptors win the division, get knocked out in 6 1st round by the 6th seeded Nets.

There are no back to backs in the playoffs, players on the Nets are rested, time to bring the noise.

As much as I like Derozan I think he's gonna struggle with that extra defensive attention on him. The key is if he can keep those struggles in check while the rest of the team steps up. Lowry in particular will need to shoulder that extra load and play as well as he as all season with maybe even an extra gear. I am totally happy to eat crow and see Derozan play well though.

Ross can be huge in this series if he plays tough D and knocks down his 3s.
Can potentially be one of those early surprise performers in the playoffs

Raptors guard Terrence Ross wanted to clear up any misconceptions about a recent Reddit AMA he participated in where he said Brooklyn would be his choice for a first round opponent.

“I feel like everybody blew it out of proportion, everyone took it out of context and ran with it,” Ross said. “I said I wanted to have Brooklyn because, looking up to those guys when I was younger. Paul Pierce, KG, Joe Johnson, so getting a chance to play with them would be like an honour.”


Lol what a BS statement by Ross as well. Nothing wrong with him wanting to play Brooklyn, though, people are so sensitive over this kind of thing, i don't get why.


Nothing BS about it. He clearly said that he prefers to play the Nets for developmental purposes in his answer. You guys are making such a big deal about something so miniscule. He was answering a fan's question, not "asking for the Nets"

This is a series which could go either way. Not a normal 3 vs 6
