The 2014 Nets and Raptors had a lot in common! They both have a history of terrible records. They both started the year in an embarrassing fashion. And they’re both facing elimination in the first round of the playoffs. Seeing as how it’s at each other’s hands, I don’t think they’ll be bonding anytime soon.
And besides, their differences are more defining. The Nets spent lavishly to boast one of the best (in theory) rosters in the league. Their starting 5 at the beginning of the year was Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Brook Lopez. That’s 5 all-stars.
Whereas the Raptors have a quiet payroll that supports one all-star (DeMar DeRozan), a bunch of young guys, and a point guard who was their second choice and they tried to trade away. (Kyle Lowry)
To find out how these similar but different teams got this win-or-go-home battle, we have to rewind.

She is the worst narrator on this channel—irritating voice, poor performance
this was s dreadful listen.
the 2014 nets were awesome
I didn't remember this game so I was surprised as hell at the outcome.
That 13-14 Raptors squad really became the foundation for everything we eventually became in ‘19:
– Greivis Vasquez turning into OG & Norm
– JV turning into Marc Gasol
– T-Ross turning into Serge
– And of course, DeMar and Poeltl (who was also a 1st rounder from the Bargnani trade) turning into Kawhi and Danny Green
Thanks for this bittersweet rewind
Paul Pierce won 1 championship and acts like he won 10.
Jesus Christ dude traveled ab 3 separate times before the block smh
For me, just me
This would have made alot of sence if IF the nets have won a championship since "this" game…
Toronto has had more success in these past hand full of years…
Unless that's what the video wanted to show…
Y so serious 🥃🃏😈
My favorite series as a Nets fan
Thank you for covering this!!
0:09 The Toronto Sun had a pullout sports section cover of "Raptors vs. Dinosaurs with Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett on one side lol (and the next year they had Paul Pierce photoshopped as Gandalf when he was with the Wizards lol)
This rewind series is getting worse and worse
Please do a rewinder of Marlin Jackson's interception in the 2006 AFC Championship that sent the Colts to the Super Bowl!
still remember watching this live @ Boston Pizza…..went from excitment to heart break real quick
Pierce killed the raptors a year after with the wizards, Pierce had the most point scored by a raptors opponent prior to Lebron breaking the record 2 or 3 yrs ago.
Take a video about this , The world is now ruled by one community of people, the world Satanic elite, you can also call them the committee to meet the Antichrist and prevent the 2nd coming of Jesus, Trump called them the deep state, at the moment it consists of about 10,000 people, the main ones there are Rockefellers, Rothschilds, Windsors, Baruchs, they, their ancestors, descendants and other people who enter there have the mark of Lucifer, which, if they bring the antichrist and do not allow the 2nd coming, they will receive eternal life after the x hour, and the rest of humanity, for all the time that they have lived, they won't get anything, so all people should know about the existence of a world government (Jesus who was a The Prophet of God, not God.God will send Jesus as a reward to humanity, if humanity deserves it, for this it is necessary to fight Lucifer and his elite)
Lowry and DeRozan both are and always will be trash players, Lowry just got lucky he got to play with Kawhi for 1 season
LOVE when these rewinds are for somehting idk about or don't remember at all
Please do a collapse of the Brooklyn nets!!
Nets collapse. DO IT. Big 3 was a failed project (unfortunately). KD trade was still a good one though (what they got back).
Secret Base just hates Raptors fans apparently
Rudy gayless 💀
Painful to listen to with this narrator
Another okay episode, I wish they kept the quotes up longer. I wanna see one about the Wizards with Paul Pierce. Also, 36 isn’t old.
We were getting cooked for so many years in the first round. Brooklyn, Washington, and Cleveland.
I wish this lady did all the narrating she’s awesome one of the guys is so tough to listen to
Am I the only one who doesn't like her approach to commentating.
this video is what i imagine basketball anime is like
As a Boston fan it was hard to see Pierce & Garnett leave
Yall gotta do a game 7 2021 kd shot one and how it affected the nets basically ending thw glory😊
