Series Thread: Toronto Raptors vs Washington Wizards

[wildturkey]

I can't tell if Washington has figured it out and gotten good or if Toronto just rolled over and died this series

The Wiz are definitely attacking the basket more and shooting better from 3. Their defense has locked down TO this series too. IIRC, the Raptors were averaging something like 107 a game this season

And trade some players

This begs the questions:

Who do you trade?
Who do you get?

Everyone would be on the block except Lowry and DeRozan.

Who do you get? Have no clue lol

Paul Pierce playing like 2008 Paul Pierce is helping. I'm just wondering how soon he'll break out the wheelchair.

That limits what you can get back, but is the correct answer nonetheless.

I'm a big Lowry fan, one of my favorite players since his Memphis days, but I'm not sure how far he can take you as the franchise player. DeRozan still has quite a ways to go, but his ceiling is higher.

If they could move Lowry for a 4 or 5 who could score and rebound that would be great. Of course those aren't easy to come by, unless the Kings would be willing to deal Cousins (they won't).

I just think a solid starting point guard is easier to come by making Lowry expendable, despite him being an All-Star.

The Lakers will give you Jordan Hill for him.

We'll take Hill, Randle, Clarkson, and the right to swap 1st rounders. For Lowry and Johnson.

@trojanfan12

The only thing I remember from that series was Paul Pierce in a wheelchair and then him coming back out knocking down three pointers. My brother, who is a Lakers fan, was looking for the WWE logo.

That's about all I remember too.

 

[Heatles84]

I remember a certain Toronto fan saying the Raptors were going to own the East this year. Swept in the first round, so much for that.

 

[logic]

I actually think this will be one of the better 1st round series and will go to 7. I went with the Raptors simply due to home court, but think these teams match up well position by position.

Wow was I wrong!!!
I guess the people saying that the Wiz were better built for the playoffs than the regular season may have been on to something.
Lookout Bulls.

Wizards await Hawks-Nets winner on May 3 or 5 | www.ajc.com

You mean lookout Hawks (or Nets - not likely) unless you are getting way ahead of yourself. The Wizards will have at least 7 days off until the next game which could be a good or a bad thing. Who knows how they will fare in the next round.

BTW - very commendable of you to post that you were wrong in your prediction - very rare in forums like this.

Sorry, yes, lookout Hawks (though the Bulls need to lookout too, but not for the Wiz....yet).

Didn't see the sweep coming but not surprised they lost the series. They were pretty flat finishing the season and they looked flat in this series.

 

[Skin'EmAll]

now that we wrapped this series up and didn't choke, I'm SHOCKED at the media hate.
All on the radio yesterday before the game, I heard folks talking about what Toronto has to do come back from 3 down. Really?....Don't know if we will beat ATL, but fortunately they run a similiar space you out and shoot the 3 offense.

 

[gordontrue]

I think Wizards Hawks will be a good series
