Game #62: Toronto Raptors 97 - Brooklyn Nets 101

[caccia]

Since I was out of town and missed the last two games, I thought it would be good to start thread this time. The youngsters vs. the old men. Lowry vs. Williams. Toronto's All-Star vs. Brooklyn's All-Star.

Go Raptors!

Toronto @ Brooklyn. March 10th 2014, 7:30 PM.

Great win at Minnesota by the Raptors. This game is a very important game for us to stay at the top of the Atlantic and keep our third spot in the playoffs. Brooklyn as of now, is a playoff match-up in the first round. Tonight will be a match-up against Deron Williams vs. Lowry and DeMar DeRozan vs. Joe Johnson. Expect big games from the two.


Your Toronto Raptors:




Against..


The Brooklyn Nets:




Enjoy the game tonight, everyone!

If the Pacers continue to struggle down the stretch, getting the 3rd seed becomes that much more important!

This is gonna be a great game tonight!!

Tonight's winner owns the tie-breaker between these two teams, which could prove to be important down the road.

[The Great One]

Another big game! Any news on Pierce, KG and AK47? will they all play tonight??

[Rapstor4Life]

So far its seems like they are sitting, but you know its a division rival and that last game we beat them in probably still lingers in their minds shame 2Patt isnt playing.

Pierce, KG questionable, AK47 doubtful.

It sounds like Pierce, Garnett, and Kirilenko are either out or limited for tonight.

[white men can't jump]

Meh...will be glad if Pierce and Kirilenko are out. Kirilenko does a lot for them, and is actually one of their more athletic players. Pierce always seems to play well against us, even as he's getting old.

Garnett though? That thin, slow, jumpshooting big who at this point is like a chihuahua trying to intimidate rottweilers? Kinda wish he was playing. Honestly think Mason Plumlee brings more energy and physicality at this point.

Just win baby!

They somehow force tons of turnovers and that worries me.. But if they limit turnovers they should be fine against the crippled nets

Huh? Raps have won 2 of 3 so even if the Nets win the series would be tied. How does that give them the tie-breaker?

Feel like Kirilenko is a fairly large part of that. It's not a coincidence they started playing better with his return to the lineup.

You're right, no matter how this game goes, the Raps will currently own the tie-breaker (divisional record - TO would be 8-3, BKN would be 7-5). Still a few games to go against the division though, for both teams, so better to clinch that tie breaker now anyway.
