How did the Raptors win this game? Thought they were gone.

The reffing against the Heat has been laughable. Grabbing dudes arms in jumpball situations. Resetteing the shotclock in scramble situations... absolutely despicable.

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?


We did our job and took home court. We will live with the BrickBros chucking some more down here in Miami.

Wade didn't have the opportunity to shoot in OT.. All shots was from JJ? Lol

well they're the first 2 seed to not have any all-stars on their team from a production standpoint



right but the question wasn't are they the only team to not have any all-stars from a production standpoint it was are they the worst 2nd seed ever lol very different questions


Have there been any 2 seeds without any all-stars on the team? Most likely not

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.

Miami is firing on all cylinders? What? And you do realize that Pacers were the 7th seed that your team struggled to get past, right?

what does that even mean? based on your own subjective standard i'm assuming


yea it's true. A more objective take would be that lowry and derozan have looked pretty good this post season, not great but pretty good

In possibly the worst division in the NBA.

Especially since the Cavs are likely to be much fresher as well. I can't imagine these offenses doing anything to the Cavs.

Still think the playoffs would be better off.

Changing your tune now to just doing your job....lol I thought a sweep was guaranteed and Raps fans should just accept it...

No you don't.

I'm tired of people calling these teams bad.

They're both awesome defensively. Sorry not everyone can be Warriors or Spurs with their ALL TIME great offense and beautiful basketball.

Playoffs have ALWAYS been mucky like this. I swear some people just started watching the playoffs when the Warriors started their run.
