Oh how soon we forget it seems... Some of ya'll may be thinking of Playoff Randy, which as has been discussed, the situation is different when you know who your opponent is for 7 straight games.

But I'm excited to play the Raptors. I so badly want to **** on their great season, where the talking heads spent a lot of time pretending they had a chance to do anything. I wouldn't care if we got bounced by Cleveland in a short series in round 2, it would be worth it to crush the souls of Toronto. You know their buttholes tightened up just a little bit last night when they saw it was us instead of Milwaukee or Miami in the first round. I read their realgm board and it's funny how obsessed they are with us. Been that way for years actually. They're arrogant as **** and at the same time you can tell there's a touch of apprehension. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I'd be apprehensive, too, if I lost to the Wizards twice without Wall and I'm supposed to be the #1 Seed (including once in Toronto), regardless of what they think about the backcourt matchup.

Warhead36 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 If this were any other sport, I'd pick the Wizards to win because the Raptors are indeed mental midgets. But in basketball the more talented team wins like 90% of the time. I just don't see this Wiz team winning 4/7 against anyone right now. Raptors in 6.

Rocky21 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Wall, Sato, Frazier, Lawson and Sessions. Time to roll out the 5 point guard rotation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 One more thing about Wittman, I know you guys were mostly joking about him being better because we actually played defense under him, but that's a misdiagnosis of our issues on defense. We absolutely sucked on defense during Wittman's final year. Scott Brooks's installation of the switching system that the good teams in the West run was a positive reform towards modernization that has us defending the three point line a lot better. The issue is a degradation in personnel, and we saw that it was the reason behind the defensive collapse in Randy's last year. Going from Ariza to Porter is probably only a very slight downgrade, maybe not even a downgrade at all. But going from Okafor and Nene to Gortat and Morris was a major downgrade in defensive capability. Even going from 2015 Gortat to 2017 Gortat was a major downgrade because Gortat's defense has fallen off a cliff. The only player in our frontcourt who isn't a trainwreck on defense is Mahinmi, and he can't stay on the floor because of injuries, foul trouble, and a lack of trust from the coaching staff that results in them preferring to play Gortat and/or going small with Keef at the 5 rather than play Mahinmi. We're not going to get back playing top ten defense until Gortat is no longer in our rotation and Morris's role is reduced and the two of them are replaced with legitimately good defensive players. Won't matter who the coach is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why I have so much schadenfruede for them in particular, but nothing short of a championship would make me happier than beating them. There is just something about them. Jerking each other off about all of the accomplishments they piled up during this impressive regular season. Dwayne Casey probably going to win coach of the year and DeRozan and Lowry will get all these offseason accolades. And I want them to realize that none of it makes a difference, and that John Wall and Bradley Beal are still their daddys. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that mini-rant, I got my thoughts about that bum in the front office, and now I'm ready to see playoff Wall, Beal, and Otto. Ready to see Oubre and Sato cook off the bench. Ready to see 'Keef give us full effort for the entirety of the game and to see my squad ball the hell out. My co-worker was telling me how DeRozan is different, how something changed. It'll be just our luck that we're the team that helps catapult the Raptors to the Finals, but they're going to have to show me to shut me up. Until then, every time I hear about them, I'll think about 2015. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
