Brooklyn Nets vs. Toronto Raptors Watch FREE: NBA PLAYOFFS Live Streaming Online From Air Canada Centre at 7:30 PM ET

For Raptors' All-Star DeMar DeRozan, the waiting between playoff games is the hardest part.

The Nets, however, don't mind one bit.

The slow pace of Toronto's first-round playoff series against Brooklyn, with two days off between each of the first three games, isn't really to DeRozan's liking. Extra down time after a disappointing Game 1 wasn't what the Raptors guard wanted.

"It's tough," DeRozan said Monday. "You have a tough game, you're used to getting right back out there and making up for it."

DeRozan will get his chance when the Raptors host the Nets on Tuesday night, hoping to bounce back after a 94-87 defeat in Game 1.

The Nets, who flew home to New York between games, have no problem with the relaxed schedule. Brooklyn went 5-13 in the second half of back-to-backs this season, losing twice to Toronto.

Brooklyn coach Jason Kidd, meanwhile, had a different take on why Paul Pierce was feeling fresher this spring.

"I thought he was worn down last year because he had to guard me," the former Knicks guard joked.
