Although I think the Nets are a stronger team, it does annoy me that so many throw their own team under the bus. As long as I watch and they are playing full out; I'm happy.
There are of us from away do actually spend the money to fly to TO for a few games each year, and feel the same sense of pride and ownership that the locals do. I do consider it disloyal to ALWAYS throw your players under the bus...just my take.

It would be great but how can you truly be happy about it! I mean, these players will be playing their first game at home officially. And their city is in total disarray. So yes it would be nice to beat them but I am sure their hearts will not be 1000% into it.
Just My thought anyway.
Go Raps!

I dunno, the feeling of "submission" in the Raptors franchise is too familiar... We almost beat Indiana, so I'm not going to hang my head against BK.
Basically, I don't want to completely count out the Raps, not like this comment said earlier (you didn't say it, just sort of annoyed me):
There's no chance in hell we beat Brooklyn tonight. No chance.Last edited by theycallmeZZ; Fri Nov 2, 2012, 03:45 PM.TORONTOOOOOO RAPTORSSSSSS

On paper, Brooklyn has the 2 best individual players between the 2 teams: DWill and JJ. I personally think they are overhyped, I think that their bigs (Lopez & Hump) are overrated and think that their bench is abysmal. But I understand why people rank them higher than Toronto, too.
I think Toronto matches up quite well with Brooklyn, as long as Lowry, Fields and DeRozan can contain DWill, JJ and Wallace. I think Toronto needs to pound them down low, setting Bargnani on attack mode and slapping him if he takes more than 20% of his shots from outside 10' against Hump.

For the record, I think Brooklyn is overhyped too. I don't see them as a top-4 seed at all, but I do see them making the playoffs relatively easily.Last edited by Nilanka; Fri Nov 2, 2012, 03:57 PM.

Just announced that NBATV has picked up the Brooklyn/Toronto game for tomorrow night. I would expect a lot of viewers due to the significance of the first game in Brooklyn.
