This guy can really get out on the open floor and play, he is quick and creates problems for us on transition. Look for both to get 20+ minutes.</span><u><span style="color:#009900">RF1's 3 Keys to the Game</span></u><span style="color:#CC0000"><u>Toronto</u>1. Rebound. If we dominate the frontcourt, the Nets have trouble2. Move the ball, its a proven statistic that the Raptors won immense amount of games moving the ball.3. CONTAIN MIKKI MOORE IN THE FRONTCOURT. He leads the NBA in FG% for a reason, his jump shot falls down almost instantly.</span><span style="color:#C0C0C0"><u>New Jersey</u>1. Move the ball through kid. This guarantee's every shot will be high percentage.2. Get Carter going. He only averaged 17 PPG in Toronto, feed off the NJ homecourt.3. Post up the Raptor guards and take advantage of mis matches. The raptors get really mixed up with the trio, utilize your size. </span><u>Game Overview & Season Series Overview</u> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%"><span style="color:#FF0000">v</span><span style="color:#C0C0C0">s</span>.</span> This is a must win for the Raptors.

If TJ and Jose aren't ready to go, we are screwed....Man, I hope we can win this game though...If we can, I dont think NJ will have any answer for our Game 7 crowd..

wrong section.btw, maybe my memory is bad but I don't remember first and second round games being played concurrently in the past.
If the Raptors lose the Pacers can start talking to Sam Mitchell with the permission of Brian Conjalango (Sp) or if he doesn't give permission they can after June 30th! :rock: :yess:
Lets go Raps, I want the Cavaliers to get more rest and if they make a game 7 the next game for the 2nd round wont start until Next week. Right now, pretty good game and Toronto is playing pretty well as they have the lead right now 39-38. 3 minutes to go in the 2nd quarter.
Nice first half, it's good to see Toronto play well. Their perimeter players are playing fantastic so far. Ford was on fire, Calderon/Parker/Peterson did a solid job out there. Bosh hasn't done a great job, but I think he's gonna have a big 2nd half. I don't know who's gonna win this one, but I hope Toronto can force a Game 7. Kidd and Bokie have done a great job out there, Carter and Jefferson can't hit anything. New Jersey is turning the ball over too much, they need to take better care of the ball in the 2nd half if they want to win this game. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Pacers fan forever @ May 4 2007, 08:01 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>If the Raptors lose the Pacers can start talking to Sam Mitchell with the permission of Brian Conjalango (Sp) or if he doesn't give permission they can after June 30th! :rock: :yess:</div> LMAO Conjalango?

He's gonna be a real player. His height and upper body strength remind me of Dirk Nowtitzki but he also seems to have a much more polished all around game. I could see Barganani becoming better than Dirk ever was someday. He is just unbeleivable.
OMG!!!! Did you guys see that Kidd to RJ alley-oop? That was incredible!!!!The Nets are starting to gain momentum.
Wow, New Jersey is on a HUGE run right now. Jason Kidd is amazing, Moore is fired up, RJ has been playing well (and that 1 handed extension was beautiful), and the crowd/bench is going nuts. I love this.

Wow, T.J. Ford is a ballhog. There have been several moments where he had an open teamate and didn't give them the ball. He is scoring though, so it's ok, I guess, but he should be passing more.

What a spin move, such a big time play. 8.3 to go, Toronto down 1 with the ball. This is what playoff basketball is all about. Let's go Toronto! Get to the basket! EDIT: F*ck.
Awesome win by the Nets. Kidd was incredible again, and RJ came up big a number of times down the stretch.
