    Sadly, I don't think the Raps are going to fare that well this series.
    Paul Pierce nearly single-handedly put them to bed in Game One & if Derozen goes 3 for 13 again this series is over.
    Raps lost by twice the spread in game one & now they are favoured by twice as much?
    GL but I think the good money is on BRK tonight.

    Doesn't matter that much. Okc beat Grizz in game 1 by 14 when the spread is -7.5. Why did it lower to -7 in game 2? Pretty much the same for Clips spread(from .7.5 to 8 in game 2). Going by your theory, Okc spread should be higher today and Clips lower.

    I am worried that the Raptors may just be straight up outclassed even though it is their game to lose.

    Kinda think the Nets already got the split they wanted.

    Nets cover and win

    They got rest, much needed rest for an older team.

    Shaun livingston gives derozan problems defensively. so i dont expect him to fair much better game 2.

    The nets bench was really bad. nobody made a 3, they were horrible. they will be better game 2 most likely.

    The nets shot 4-24 on 3's, they will not miss 18 straight 3s like they did game 1, Mirza and thornton wont miss all there 3s.

    raps simply outclassed

    Nets 101 raptors 90

    What does that mean, Toronto Is the 3 seed with homecourt, they were favored by 3 game 1 and lost by 7

    Alot of people were on Toronto Game 1. Alot of Analysts were split on this series, many of them picking Toronto to win the series. While if you look at other series like the Bulls-Wiz, Almost everyone picking the bulls

    Whos the team thats not getting respect? Its not the raptors its the Nets

    the nets are going to take out Miami and your talking about the fuckin Craptors getting no respect

    I hope Derozan turns up tomorrow along with the team, I'd love to see the Raptors advance but can see the Nets winning the series.

    What does this mean, i can see the Nets winning the series, like the raptors are favored and up 1-0 already

    The Nets should and will win this series.

    Its only a matter of will it be a sweep or 5 games

    The raps are -4.5 tommorow

    The Nets have Deron, Joe Johnson and Paul Pierce on offense, KG And Livingston for Defense. a Bench of Mirza-Thornton-Blatch and Kirlenko, and Anderson

    The Raptors aint got a chance tommorow

    I expect the Nets to come out and put an asswhipping on these Craptors

    What is meant is that I hope Derozan improves his performance and that I want the raptors to advance. However i believe the nets are too good and will advance instead.

    Toronto had a bad game and I think it's a blowout tonight and the Nets are no shore shot to win this series if Toronto wins tonight

    Thanks for listing the players on each team. The linesmakers were unaware of the team's rosters and decided to hang an even higher line for Game 2 after the Nets won outright as dogs in Game 1 to give Nets backers even more bang for their buck.

    Guys, what we fail to realize if the Raps could not have played any worse.........and they led with about 6 minutes to go. This was with a ridiculous number of turnovers, and zero production from 3 of their 5 starters. Yes, Paul Pierce saved the day for the Nets.....but I expect Derozan to awake from his slumber, and put this team on his back. This series is a LONG way from being over.

    this series is fukin over

    The raptors played bad?

    The nets shot 4-24 from 3 point land, got no production from the bench or KG.

    Livingstons defense/length causes derozans problems.

    Pierce could go off, JJ could go off, Deron can go off, NOBODY ON TORONTO can stop them

    Agree. The only 2 teams who will go 2-0 will be Spurs and Heat.

    Lots of pressure on TO tonight to win....All the city is talking about the Raptors and nothing else here....They have had a few days to digest the last game and all the talk about the GM using the F bomb. The -4.5 for the game makes me feel uneasy but I'm leaning towards a 1st half play on Toronto based on them coming out hard early. Good luck in your plays...

    I'd prefer to go 4-24 from behind the arc, then turn the ball over 17 times (9 more then Brooklyn) leading to a lot of easy baskets. It's 2014, not 2007......who really expects much from KG these days?? Toronto's bench is superior in comparison to Brooklyn's, so don't expect Brooklyn's bench to outplay over the course of any game. Toronto ranked 7th in the league in PPG against, so no reason to think they can't tighten up their defense....not like the Nets are an offensive jaugernaut. In fact, Toronto scored 3 point more per game this year. Derozan needs to forget about Game 1 and get back on track......if he can do so, this series will be exciting.

    Nets went 4-24 from 3 and still won the game. Everyone saying the Raps were off, you guys are acting like Brooklyn brought their A game

    Curry had a poor game 1 and Warriors still won. So did Warriors bring their A game today after the win?

    Why does anyone think toronto will do better game 2, you guys are acting like derozan is MJ or Durant or something

    Derozan is 42% shooter, and a 30% 3 point shooter, thats terrible, he gets to the line 8 per game, and got to the line 8 times in game 1.

    the thing is 1, in the playoffs teams play much better defense, and since livingstons assignment is too slow derozan down thats happened, because livingston is a terrific 6'7 defender.

    Lowry isnt much better, he is a 42% shooter, but better on 3s then derozan.

    then who else do they got to get buckets for them?

    Nets all there players shoot 45% or better and they are all terrific 3 point shooters too, Deron, Pierce and JJ.

    If Nets are focused and dont turn it over and play sloppy they will win by 8.

    I like that alot of people are on toronto though since it comforts me o know that vegas has the line at -4.5 because alot of people are in love with toronto.

    dont over think this, this is the nets on rest( no back2backs) vs a bad shooting, inexperienced, overachieving toronto team

    NETS +4.5 BIG and ML

    I have watched every raptors game this year and that was the worst performance they had all season.The raps were up in the 4th for gods sake.clearly derozan was nervous and the whole young team.ross got in foul trouble early ,turnovers ,missed open jumpers and layups.Raptors win tonight

    We're gonna compare the Raps to the Clips now? Toronto was the underdog in this series for a reason guy.

    The raptors got 18 points from there backup pg.

    KG scored 3 points, pp only had 15 - but 9 straight in the last 3 minutes to close them out.

    nets bench got 0 production, 0 made 3s from mirza and thornton

    Nets could use kirlenko this game.

    Who on the raptors can D up Paul Pierce and stop him from doing what he wants, or Joe Johnson?

    Nets can slow Derozan down with livingston, who do the raps got to slow down Joe Jesus and the Truth...Nobody
