Jonas has as many rebounds (8) as Brooklyn did in that 1st quarter.

That's what I was trying to say before the game.

They have not only scorer, but vet scorers.

Williams, Paul Peirce, Joe Johnson and KG.

That is a but ton of experience talent. Two HOF players.

Mad props the TOR for a great season but now that all the hype is over, you see what BRK advantage is. This is the playoffs and they were built for that. TOR is just a bunch of young players. Not at the same level. And to small.

You beat me right to it.

I've been saying the same thing as well. BKN has players with some much experience, I cannot see the young and gun Raptors beating them...

But who knows, any thing can happen.

Maybe it really is going to be Raps in 4..... decades.

Need to tighten up the D. Nets killing us on the secondary break and off of turnovers.

The 2nd quarter needs to be purely JV/Lowry pick n rolls

BRK needs to go back to iso Joe Johnson

Raps should sign Metta just so he can body Joe Johnson can't be worse than Salmons.

Finally this 1st Q is done..
All em gitters out, now go ball

First quater pretty much went as expected.

Derozan struggles badly as he always does against elite level perimeter D, while the Nets big guards did what they please.

It will be interesting to see how Raps bench perform in the second Q. They have been wildly inconsistent; if they are off, look for Nets to easily get a 20 point cushion before half time.

No production from the 2/3 spot in the first quarter for the raps...should be happy they are only down so much

Keith Van Horn · Post #874 » by **Keith Van Horn** » Sat Apr 19, 2014 5:11 pm

Raps did good job of salvaging the quarter.

And if anyone is going to complain about the refs already.... Please.

Toronto needs to chill with the turnovers and DeRozan needs to step it up a bit. Despite that, they are still in good position to reclaim the lead.

DeMar was elite at getting the the line this season, he should try some of that instead of jacking up all these 201 foot fades.

ChadBC · Post #878 » by **ChadBC** » Sat Apr 19, 2014 5:12 pm

I think DeRozan will step it up a bit, he just needs to calm his nerves and play his game.

How many minutes can JV play? He averages 29 minutes a game and he just played the whole first quarter.
