(3) Toronto Raptors vs. (6) Brooklyn Nets
Season Series Tied 2-2
The Toronto Raptors have had one of the more impressive seasons this year winning the Atlantic division. Sadly even with home court advantage, they might sent packing for an early exit. The Brooklyn Nets had a rough season with a new coach and new roster, beginning the season well under .500 ball. With the unfortunate season-ending injury Brook Lopez suffered earlier this season, the Nets initially lost faith in winning a title this year.
Since the all-star break, they’ve had the best record in the NBA before purposely tanking 2 games to avoid playing the bulls in round 1. The raptors young stars Terrence Ross, DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry will be making their national playoff debut with this squad, and while we expect the nets to win the series in 6; Toronto will be one of the surprises this playoffs
