Who ya got? Has Drake recovered from the Madonna incident to be able to pull for his Raptors? Will Wall teach Toronto how to dougie? Probably the least interesting series for me, even if it goes 7. The die hard Raptor fans make for a good story, as will whether or not Pierce has anything left. But that's about it.
Wizards have underachieved, but they're built for the playoffs. Honestly whoever controls the tempo wins the series. With Gortat, Nene, and PP; if they can slow it down in the 2nd half after Wall and Beal run around in the 1st half then they have a clear advantage.
Looks like post-season PP showed up. Raptors main guys look like trash. But so does Beal for that matter.
Watched this , bad game between 2 average teams .... Pierce stood out with his brilliant footwork amongst players who have little fundamentals . Raptors kept giving up uncontested baskets in the rim whereas WASH can't shoot from the perimeter as a team .
Just like I said a month into the season or so, "I don't trust Toronto (or Washington). They were always pretenders, it was always Cleveland to he concerned with, and possibly the Hawks, we'll see. Washington, don't trust them after this series either, their second half of the season was awful.
You might be right. Wizards are a tough out for any team; big skilled big inside, good great guard play, decent depth, and they definitely have a shot...
I've been surprised PP has been able to backup his talk so far. We'll see how that works when there's a defender (Carroll) to check him.
