TORONTO -- Two blowout losses in New Jersey that have the Toronto Raptors on the brink of elimination mean coach Sam Mitchell is likely to make some changes to his lineup.
Just don't expect him to reveal what he has in store when Toronto plays the Nets in Game 5 of their first-round playoff series at home Tuesday.
"None of your business," Mitchell said when asked what he was plotting after Monday's practice. "When they introduce that starting lineup, then you'll know."
No matter who starts, the Raptors aren't likely to stay alive without better production from All-Star forward Chris Bosh, who scored just 24 points combined in Games 3 and 4, both double-digit losses.
"Hopefully the changes we make will give us a little more space," Mitchell said. "We've got to open the court up, spread the court and attack the gaps.
"We don't have one-on-one basketball players," Mitchell explained. "That's why it's so important that we've got to move the basketball. We have to rely on picks, ball movement, hard cuts and spreading the floor."
Bosh said Toronto's confidence hasn't waned after a woeful weekend in New Jersey.
"We're at a point now where we just have to go play, and whatever happens, happens," Bosh said. "We have a winning mind-frame, we have to stay alive and we know that the only way we're going to do that is stay relaxed and play the basketball that we know how to play.
"Nobody is ready to go home," Bosh said. "We have to come out, win a game, gain some confidence and try to get 6 and 7."
The Nets have dominated the past two games, but aren't getting ahead of themselves.
"This will be the hardest game of the series because they're going to let everything out," coach Lawrence Frank said. "We have to stay in the moment. We can't think of anything else.
"Toronto had a chance to win both games at home and we were fortunate to get one on their court. We won both games on our court. Now, we're going to try to get one."
In the six years that Kidd has played for New Jersey, the Nets are 8-1 in games that could clinch a series. Their only loss was a Game 4 defeat to Indiana in the first round of the 2002 playoffs.
