P.S. I know everyone is hating on Andrea and I am too but when you think about it, when he returns we all know he's gonna come off the bench and he could actually help us a lot there, but we'll see what happens cause when it's Andrea you never know).

LOL. Ifs and buts don't mean nothing! Playoffs are a pipedream now. :lol:

The playoff dream is over, but tanking is out of the question as well.

Right now the best we can do is hope for competitive and entertaining games in which Lowry and the young players play well.

I have TSN2 but I think it's pathetic that they didn't show the Lakers game on TSN today...i'm pretty sure they were showing Curling. And now the game against the Heat is on TSN2 also? Yikes.

Just throwing this out there, as their starting center Bosh has been averaging 7rpg. Davis and Amir's rebounding will be key, but I imagine they'll be in foul trouble all game long because of a billion touch fouls for LeBron.

James will get lots of rest in this game when he single handly will beat raptors on his own

He gets like 6 free throws a game. Hardly something that should kill us. Also we have nobody who can really guard the SF position so he should destroy us legitimately.

I was going to make a Landry joke about him guarding Lebron, but I see he had an 18 and 10 game. I mean....wow....

Heat struge against teams with athletic and skilled bigs who abuse their small lineup. I can see Amir/Ed having good games. Jose and DD shall be exposed with that perimeter D. Lowry would help in this one.

Wish we had Val, even with his limited offensive game he would get a lot of good looks being guarded by Haslem and Anthony.

Maybe. Val seems to have a knack for abusing bigs who have a tendency to leave their feet though, and IIRC Haslem and Anthony are not that type of bigs.

He's never had to, but when the tough gets going he will draw those fouls. Amir and Davis seem like the kind of bigs that would give the Heat frontcourt trouble.

OT:

Why do the Leafs get the better looking score overlay? The Raps should get the same one. Looks way better then the small box one.
