Missing four out of five starters does that. I honestly can't believe that West and Ben got hurt too.

 

To be fair, the Raptors were missing 3 starters (Calderon, Bargnani and Johnson) as well as their 6th man in Barbosa. You could even make the argument that they were missing 4 out of five starters if you include Kleiza in that mix, but that is stretching it.

 

Still, it doesn't change the fact that they were missing 4 of their top 6 or 7 players.

 

Kind of sucks that Williams was out, though. I don't see the Raptors winning this game with a healthy Deron (or even a 75% Deron) in the Nets lineup, and this game was absolutely one that they needed to lose. With Washington getting that surprise win over the Hawks the other night, it opened up the window for the Raptors to get sole possession of the 3rd worst record in the league, but that is looking very unlikely now after this victory, especially considering they play the Bucks without Bogut tonight.

 

On the bright side, I believe the Wizards still play the Cavs once more this season, so hopefully the pull out another win so that, at the very least, them and the Raptors will split the ping pong balls.
