Raptors finish off season strong
The Toronto Raptors gave their fans an amazing season of basketball and actually show that a Raptors team can really play defense which is super amazing. They gave us a back out star in DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry took his game up to another level and will likely be taken his talents back south because he really needs his ESPN.
It does end on a very soar note where the stripes came in and said this is who is winning today and the Raptors had a shot to shove it in their face down 104-103 with less than 7 seconds but Lowry got tagged teamed by KG and Pierce and was not able to get a shot off. DeRon Williams getting an extra chance on the court while Amar as soon as the refs realized he was a problem got fouls on him very quickly and got him out of the game as soon as possible and finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds in 22 minutes. While Lowry as soon as tip off had two fouls along with Jonas and Vasquez which changes the type of D the Raptors could play and even though it was 27-26 in fouls it was the timing of them. On another part the Raptors were unable to manhandle the second worst rebounds team in league and they would of but losing boards 42-38 and that was also timing issue because they got great stops buts the Nets would come with a board and fresh 24 and we were able to see the 24 unlike game one thanks ESPN.
So back to the season Jonas and Ross had decent seasons and got seasoning in the playoffs and they did win more games than ever before (48) and they had their first winning record on the road (22-19) but the question is is the Raps able to actually repeat and have another chance at matching May 4, 2001 or will we not even see a May 4, 2014 for another while.
It was a great season and hope and pray that Casey will be back but the Apple may be calling and with Lowry that apple maybe Rotten but I do hope that whoever is here that they continue playing that tough nose D.
The stars of the playoffs are the Toronto Raptors fans and people in T.O. that did not believe that nothing other than a blue sweater with a leaf on it took notice of the fan support after being beating up by our own.
So I believe in Masai I believe he can touch the sky
