Raptors fan here. I've already left my thoughts with most of you on the game itself, and the series is still anybody's as we've seen how unpredictable the playoffs have been, but I do have a question for you guys if you could help me.

I'll be in New York from Thursday to Sunday, and I was looking for a good sports bar in NY to watch Game 6 at? Tonight I'll be at the square, but I need a good place to watch the matchup (and for the LOVE OF GOD, please don't recommend me something entirely terrible I'll gullibly believe because I'm not from there). I'll be closer to Long Island if anybody could help me out. Thanks guys.
Rich Rane can attest to the fact that I'm not a troll (and for at least 62% of the time, a genuinely readable poster).

As a raps fan, i fear your vets will step it up and take us out.
Its moments like these where Pierce and KG, and even JJ always step it up!

This is why I balked at tanking for rest because you should always try to win out and finish on a high note.

The Wizards now may WALTZ to the conference finals, and here we are tied 2-2 with a very dangerous prospect of having to play TWO elimination games in a row.

I don't trust this roster in a situations like that.


This is exactly why I hope that Kidd and the Nets decided to rest vs. deliberately tanking. If the coaches and the front office decided that rest/health was more important than seeding, I could live with that.

If they decided to tank and deliberately avoid Chicago (a tough but not really talented team that can't score) or Indy (a team in a major freefall that beat maybe 1 team over .500 in the last 20 games) - I'd be stunned at the stupidity.

-

Anyway, I have no idea what to expect tonight. We haven't played well yet but much of that is due to Toronto's defense. Hard to say that we're "DUE" for a good game or anything like that. I do want to see adjustments.

I'm actually expecting a huge 3 point barrage tonight from Dwill/Johnson/Pierce and Teletovic , we've been off from 3 lately i think were due from a huge game from behind the arc

Great points MGrand

I also must say...if there isn't a time where this team misses Brook Lopez, it is right now. The Raptors have keyed in on our top offensive player and we don't have enough firepower to counter that if Deron Williams does not bring the heat offensively

The fate of this team literally rests in Deron's hands. If we lose this series, the Nets need to seriously consider seeing if Houston would bite on a deal to get him off of our books.

Lets go Nets! This is the type of game the team was constructed to overcome as it may not be the last must win game of the playoffs for this team. Even within the playoffs teams face adversity; we have to come out and set the tone early. The defense needs to wallop Lowry and Derozan. If we shut them down, Toronto will NOT win.

I'm getting way ahead of myself here but if we win the series on Friday, Game 1 at Miami is on Sunday.

How ridiculous is that?

We've hung in those 2 losses and then been searching for offense with under 5 minutes on the clock. We MUST have momentum down the stretch. I'd rather have guys running out of gas in the last 2 minutes than a 4 minute string of no field goals.

It's almost that time when you drink yo try to resist screaming at Nets players through the television for commiting stupid fouls. Got my vodka on hand.

Hopefully either Pierce or Johnson go off today.
