Game 1: Brooklyn Nets 94 - Toronto Raptors 87 (Nets 1-0)

[consmap]

We want to be the pacers so bad that we've actually become them now. Lack of communication - check! Poor offense - check! Chemistry seemed off? - check! turnovers galore? -check!)

Crappy fans? - ???

I think Landry Fields should be given minutes, specifically to guard Pierce or JJ(depending on which one has the hot hand).

I talked a bit earlier about the coaching staff making adjustments, and this is an example of one.

Lowry needs to shut down D Will, Ross can guard Pierce/Johnson, and Derozan needs to play the passing lane since he only has to prevent Shaun Livingston from getting to the rim (tall order for him, though).

Casey needs to get Derozan going in game 2. Pin downs and off ball cut plays will suffice, especially with Amir in the first/third quarters and 2Patt and his shooting range in the 2nd/early 4th.

Finally, keep feeding the Baltic Giant in the post. Its time for JV to become the star centre he was born to be, and for the rest of the league to realize it as well.

Game 2 is ours. Game 1 could have been, and had we not turned it over so much/shot so poorly/gotten into foul trouble/make defensive errors, this would have been an easy W. Lets go Raps!

Here's a breakdown showing some of the reasons why we were beat.

[The Great One]

Watching ESPN, it's sad how they treat the Raptors. Basically they started the show showing the Grizz/OKC highlights, followed by the Pacers/Hawks, then the Warriors/Clippers. They have George Karl there to analyze all 3 games. Then they showed a short clip of Masai saying "Fuck Brooklyn" followed by all Nets highlights. They didn't show any single Raptors highlights at all. Like they didn't play. They didn't even analyze the game lol. They went to baseball highlights immediately.

I think Sportsnet(Canada) does a better job showing Raptors highlights than these guys lol. And this is the playoffs.

Let's hope DeMar DeRozan learns Soh Cah Toa for game 2

Y'all got to let go of Landry Fields. If he were a game-changing player he would be playing already.

The coaching staff obviously know something we don't. It's probably that his nerve issues are severe and his jump shot is irreparably ruined. If he can't space the floor than it just makes it that much easier for Brooklyn to double off of him, or protect the paint from drives. And we've seen how well DeRozan, Ross and JV handle double teams — not very well at all.

And while we can joke about Salmons being just as bad, you still technically have to pretend to put a guy on him.

If you brought in Fields, he might catch another team off guard with some cuts and hustle plays but he'll be solved rather quickly.

That being said, I'd love to live in a world where Landry Field rises like a phoenix, resurrects our defense and offense and proves me wrong.

Nobody covers Salmons. Nobody covers anybody until they hit a shot. Did you see anybody racing over before Salmon airballed an open 3.

Someone yells "Lets go nets!" in union station after the game 1 loss and raptors fans aren't happy lol

Things could always be worse...Roy Hibbert got rejected by Kyle Korver twice today, one of them flying out of bounds.... as the Pacers get stomped at home by #8 Atlanta.
I almost feel bad for him.
