This time I am leaning toward the series with the most expected outcome, and I guess it´s BKN over TOR, so I pick a Raptor.

I'm thinking DeRozan can do better than 3-13, and the healthy shot attempts and getting to the free throw line bode well. Never shy away from the bounce back, as while it occasionally doesn't work out, it more often does. I've used it for many years now and it rarely does me wrong. Two years ago in the first round Pau Gasol got a PRA of 7 in Game 6 and was publicly called out. My thought was he couldn't do any worse, and I liked him to have a bounce back. He responded with 46 for me. I've never doubted bounce back games ever since. I also don't like DeRozan that much in round 2 when he'll likely be shadowed by LeBron, so what better time than now. I'm also pretty convinced by the Wizards, so Noah is an option, but since he's the only Bull worth a first round pick while there are two on the Raptors, it makes the decision a bit easier to make.Tangenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09826659197813804563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794801666266415731.post-92012831710287574752014-04-21T20:56:05.568-07:002014-04-21T20:56:05.568-07:00I completely believe the Nets are going to win thi...I completely believe the Nets are going to win this series, have from the get go.
