At least the Raptors can defend. I mean if you're going to play such poor offense you have to be able to make it up somewhere

I mean it's a fair question tbh


well they're the first 2 seed to not have any all-stars on their team from a production standpoint
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

They play as if they were the Thunder with a great 1-2 punch but without even half the talent as the real 1-2 puch in OKC.

I said before the series it would be an Easy series for Miami. Can't rely on low iq players in the playoffs. Derozan can chuck up all the shots he wants we will live with that. Rich Winslow and dragic will continue to eat Lowry up.

I picked heat in 5 but i think I gave the raps too much credit. Looking like a sweep if Miami wins game 2.

Feel bad for rap fans, they have great fans and deserve a better team and some REAL all stars. Hopefully they don't make the mistake and Max Derozan.

Either way I don't see either team beating Lebron but it's quite obvious Miami poses the bigger threat.


Changing your prediction to a sweep where your team went to overtime, won by only 6 points and neither team played it's best?

This will be a grind out series and closely contested. We basically made none of our open 3's yesterday and if we shoot at our normal percentages (and you guys don't shoot 75% from 3) the Raps basically win last night.


If if if. None of it matters. Heat played terrible too and still won despite Lowry making a shot out of his ass.

It's ok though, your just in the first stage of the grieving process. Next comes anger (game 2) then comes bargaining (game 3, plz just don't get swept) and then Acceptance (bye bye)


You were saying something about anger, bargaining and acceptance? Something about an easy series and a sweep?

I think it's time the playoffs are restructured and feature the 16 best records. Neither of these teams should be in the "NBA semi-finals"

Raptors with a healthy Lowry(Headcase or physical wise) & Demar putting up 60% of his numbers from the Regular season and the Raptors would be easily 2-0 and a real case vs Cavs.

Right now? Yikes

This series is about which team will stink up the joint the best.
Cavs sweeping the winner regardless.

Its actually crazy that despite the Raps 2 best players having two of the worst postseason performances of all time and playing against Paul George and George Hill playing some of the best ball of their careers, and the Heat minus Bosh firing on all cylinders, they STILL beat Indy and have the Heat tied with 2 overtimes.

If the Raps were playing normally, both of these series' wouldve been ours in 5 games, easily. It boggles my mind that Indy and Miami fans are proud of their teams' performances instead of thanking their lucky stars that our stars are both choking at the same time.

Why was any Raptor even close to Joe Johnson there? Just let him shoot

It's pretty much them playing to lose to the Cavs.
The scariest question in NBA history.

"Can Stephen Curry get better?"
