I think the reason we underrated New jersey before coming into this series because the Big Three was broken up and Jason Kidd wasnt score 16-16-16 in the reg. season. It seemed to align up alright, We had a better season, better bench, better team chemistry, the Nets were banged up, and everything looked to be done in a 6 game series. Now were here. Shortly after being blown out by a Nets team we barely beat in Game 2. We never start off strong, and we play catchup all game. If we do get knocked in 6 games or even 5 the way we are playing, whats going to happen? The Raptors have been so hyped about and we all thought it was right. Until we met New Jersey, now were in a deep hole. New Jersey has the upper hand in this series, and no one can deny it. We are playing defensive matchups all night, and Jason Kidd has torched us so much I want to stab him and Joumana Kidd just for being married to him at once. I cant stand, and if the Raptors dont at least win by 10-12 points next game, we have some serious rethinking to do about this club.
Naw, VC took over. If Toronto wins today, they got a chance. Bosh wasn't playing well, and the refs made some questionable calls (Really long continuation). All Toronto has to do is get an early lead, and hope the Jumbotron lands on Vince Carter or Jason Kidd so they can't help their teams.
Go back to day 1 of the season.New Jersey was expected to win the Atlantic and contend for a top East spot - Raptors were MAYBE going to make the playoffs but probably end up in the lottery again, we were just a wildcard.Funny how things work out But yeah I'm kinda worried .. we better win dammit.

We beat you guys in the beginning and never let up the lead. You can't cover Kidd at all, he is just dominating you guys. Ford is to small and Kidd is just going to continue to post him in the paint. Carter finally broke out and I expect him to continue his good play in game 4. The refs had nothing to do with it, nobody on your team got in foul trouble like in game 1. Bosh was in , no foul trouble and healthy, and did not do good at all, and you guys lost. Sort of like what happened in game 1 with Carter, but we won. Seems like we could win without our best player having a good game, but you guys can't. Seems like we have the better team doesn't it? And your right, I love Toronto's chances to win today. They might kill us I think. But the Nets are definably winning tomorrow. (we don't play today, we play tomorrow) I think that the Nets are going to come out strong again tomorrow and we will take a 3-1 lead in the series. Mikki Moore didn't do much last game. Its was basically Kidd,Carter and Jefferson. Nachbar made some baskets, but really didn't shoot well. Jefferson did score but didn't shoot well either. Both of them are going to have a strong game 4. The key for us is continuing to let the PGs of Toronto shoot and try to keep Bosh out of the flow. We really have done it well the whole series and we will continue I think. If we continue to do those 2 things, I really like our chances in the series. If we win tomorrow, I would put my house on it that we win the series. You guys will be down and feel pressure and panic. We will take advantage of that in game 5 and finish it off. We need to win tomorrow. If we lose, its going to be very to win the series, but not impossible.

I think they would be depleted by know. But however, you make adjustments right? Well see how everything goes in game 4, if you win, hands down, you got the series.
Wow, sorry but its kinda clear that you guys haven't witnessed the playoffs in a while. Raps are down 2-1, there's plenty of time for the Raps to win the series if they focus. Watching Toronto I still don't think they've got the handle of the playoffs yet. Just remember, Wizards went down 0-2 against the Bulls two years ago and won 4 straight to win the series. Same with the finals last year.
I don't see the Wizards doing too good either, just saying. Anyways, the officiating really has been bad for both teams, no one is gettting calls, people are driving the basket and getting fouled without any call. Bad refs for both teams.

We got blown out in the two games we lost and in the whole series we havent started out strong. Im not going to be a homer and say we have control over this series, because we dont. New Jersey beat us on our home court, and that was our main advantage. Im obviously hopeful, but im realistic, just because Im a fan, doesn't mean I shy away from the truth.
Also, I find it weird that you tell me I know nothing about playoffs when you got your Washington Wizards run to the championship in your sig over there.

Him and parker would have handled Jefferson and Carter so nicely. Jason Kidd still is hard to get around, but he is one player isnt he
We don't have Nened either, so . That would help us a lot too. Our loss of nened > your loss of Garbajosa.
