Raptors ready for playoffs bring on Brooklyn

The Toronto Raptors Vs Brooklyn Nets is like Drake Vs Jay Z in that Drake is inexperience like the Raps and Jay-Z and the Nets has all experience going into this matchup. Drake's Raptors has only one edge in experience over Jay-Z's Nets and that is in coaching as Dwayne Casey has been their and done that as a coach as he came up with a defensive system that took down LBJ in the only time he lost a series in the 2011 NBA Finals when he was an assistant of the Dallas Mavericks while Nets coach Jason Kidd has done it on the court as he won with Casey in Dallas but he has not been there as a head coach. The Raptors are a younger/faster team that if they can push the ball against an older Nets would be the best way to win against the Nets. The D is very important in the playoffs and right now the Raps are waiting for the fourth quarter to play D and the Nets are a little bit better on D as they have guys like Paul Pierce and KG who have been there and down that in the playoffs. It will be up to DeMar DeRozan (22.4 points a game) to come in the clutch and battle through the none calls that happen in the playoffs and put up big numbers while Terrance Ross (39.5% from beyond the arc) hopefully has good games from beyond the arc and if it does not go lets hope drives to the hoop. Kyle Lowry needs to stay within himself and pass the ball to find the open guy first and taken his shot second and hopefully Jonas can handle the elbows and the hand slaps inside and is able to give as much as he receives and takes up the ball strong. Tyler Hansbrough, Patrick Patterson, Amir Johnson are tough on D and hack and slam the Nets and make them hurt for every point they get and Terrance Ross will need to be extremely tough against Deron Williams as he is the center piece for the Nets offence. The Raptors also need the loud and proud Saturday for a game at 12:30 and be as loud as any crowd in Toronto history and give the Nets everything they deserve as they want to be here and hope they enjoy the nightlife in Toronto Friday night and into early Saturday morning. The Raps hopefully wait til Saturday night to get their swagger on after they win game one. I am so excited to go to the ACC and see the Raps play in the playoffs Tom Mehegan
