^they dont suck, they just dont know how to match the nets intensity and the playoff jitters are really getting to them.
I normally watch the full game of every raptors game, but this one i cant stand to watch, i shut off my tv after halftime.. they just cant play in the playoffs.. maybe next year they'll be better

Guys, two words
Next Year.
The one team I didn't want the Raps facing first round was NJ. They were surging at the end of the season and lets be real, New Jersey's regular season record is a reflection of their many injuries they had on their team. They are also got more experience in the playoffs as well as, Toronto isn't use to playing the same team in a series. They are being schooled. Big learning curve for them. They might win game 5, but they need to do what they do best and that is share the ball and make shot, not force them. Every game including the one they won, was ugly in all aspects. Just take a look at the stats and see where their assists are as a team. Very low and uncharacteristic of them.
Anyhow, game 5 back home, lets hope they make a game of it.
