Paul Pierce and Kyle Lowry's last-second battle to determine who's going home needs a deep rewind
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.
