NBA Playoffs Set: Brooklyn Nets vs Toronto Raptors Round 1

[box]

The playoffs are finally here and the seeds are set so we know know where the Brooklyn Nets will be playing.  The Nets will start the first round  in Toronto to play the Atlantic Division winning Raptors.

Brooklyn did not look good last night playing all their subs and losing for the fourth time in their last five games but it seems they have a plan so lets hope the plan works and getting the sixth seed puts them in the bracket with the Miami Heat and not the Indiana Pacers.

The Nets split the season-series with the Raptors and could have won three of them if it wasn’t for Deron Williams brain lock inbounds pass in the final seconds of a debilitating loss in Brooklyn.

Toronto finished with a franchise-record 48 wins and claimed the second Atlantic Division title in their history and held off the surging Nets down the stretch.

This should be one of the better series in the NBA Playoffs first round so Nets fans got their wish in getting the Raptors in the first round.  Now the Nets need to get back to playing solid basketball and utilize their veteran leadership to put away the Raptors and move on to the second round.
