Ya gotta hand it to them, the Nets are pretty good. With a healthy Krystic they'd definitely be one of the top teams in the east. Jason Kidd is simply amazing - he's top 3 in my greatest point guards of all time.

I'm glad for Vince that he's had Kidd to revitalize his career. VC is great but he needs someone to take him there. And Kidd can do just that.

Man. Bosh and Bargnani. They are going to be the most potent 4/5 combo in the league next year. Forderone is one of the best point guards in the league. AP will come back sharper than ever. Humphries is coming into a contract season. Joey G IS getting better! We're at the level where greatness should result from player development. The Nets are a very good team but I certainly don't think they're the better team, overall. And that's reassuring. It sure didn't feel like that when the Cancucks lost to the Ducks yesterday.

Good work team. they'll get some rest and relaxation but I have no doubt that most of our players are going to be working their asses off through the offseason.

Good series New Jersey. Welcome to one of the great rivalries of this new era.

Bargnani is going to be HUGE in this league. We may even see the Raps use Bosh/Bargs as primary distributors in the future. For sure we will see more of the cross screens between them and more interaction on the court. We will have a dominant scorer on the court at all times.

Last night the Raps just didn't use Bargs enough. He was moving well, shooting well, and even passing well out of the post. We won't have to force the ball through Bosh in the next 2 years. We can get both of them moving more in the offense and passing to each other more.

Those drives that Bargs had trouble finishing last night will be dunks next year and beyond as he learns to finish with more power. We will see more of Bargs getting the ball in the 15 foot range where he is one dribble from a dunk and can shoot over anyone.

The shot blocking, the rebounding, the shooting percentages, the FT attempts, the assists that the combo of Bosh/Bargs will be putting up in a couple of years will be awesome.

Bargnani has got to learn to box out. He killed the team by allowing Moore (among others) to get offensive rebounds. He's also got to learn to do more than just camp out at the 3 point line all the time on offense. Teams have already learned not to bite on his pump fake drive move.

Bargs had as many rebounds as Bosh in this game, including a couple of tough ones. And he scored at least twice on the pump, dribble and pull up move. With his quick release its almost unstoppable. Once for a 3, and once for a 2.

As for 'camping out' at the 3pt line that is not just some choice he makes. Its the role he has been given. If a big is on him he spaces out the floor and takes that big into uncomfortable territory where he can't help inside. If he gets switched to a small he goes into the low post to take advantage of the mismatch.

There were several plays where Bargs was wide open or had the mismatch and his teammates froze him out.

He is still learning how to be a low post player and is improving quickly. Like Bosh, he needs to get stronger.

Il Mago has had lots of experience playing in Italy. Believe me, the crowds here are NOTHING compared to the crowds over there.

TJ Ford

I knew someone would post something like that on here. Please, don't start with that. In fact, that was the only turnover of the game for him. Without Calderon, I think we would've lost long ago.
Anyone saw how upset TJ was when Calderon subbed him in? All season long, he has not been happy whenever Calderon gets his minutes.

Pathetic VC fanboys. Can they really not see how weak minded this guy is? He almost lost you game 6 with those stupid 3pt shots when he was having his way inside and getting every call. JKidd pulled the cart (with a bad knee) while VC sat in it and posed for the crowd.

bosh = biggest female dog in 2007 playoff! he is a bigger vagina than wince! haha

I don't see how Vince fans can be happy with his performance in the series. Pretty much showed why he isn't considered a superstar in the league anymore.

However, lets try to keep this thread civil, please.

Ka-Bosh

Vince didn't have a good series I agree, but he's one of the big factor why they won this series. He couldn't be stopped in Game 3 and 4, we had to win at least of those two games and we failed doing so, and when we did that's when we knew the series was over. Also you can say the same thing with Bosh he cannot be happy with the series he had, because he stunk, you can say it's his first time playing in the playoffs, but after the second or third game he should be able to adjust to the different style of play but he didn't.

I was really mad when they lost the game. Because that means the season is over for the Raptors. Nets are my second favorite team after the Raptors, and for the first time in my life I was hoping that Carter stunk, and some game he did and others he didn't. I really expected the Raptors to win this series in 6 or 7 games, and if they did win the game, then Game 7 would of been crazy and I think the Raptors would of won that decisive game. It's almost like Game 7 vs the 76ers over again, except different scenarios.

I am proud of the Raptors I didn't expect them to win the Atlantic didn't expect them to have so many victories. They got a lot of playoff experience which is good, and next year they should be ready for whoever they face.

Thank you for a great season.

Now I am routing for the Nets, it should be a great series against the Cavs Carter vs James should be great.

VC has one arm raised in triumph in that second picture, but he still looks like a defeated man from the back.
