Getting big after wins over only depleted and tanking teams. What a joke. It will be hilarious when the Raps get slapped back down to reality in the 1st round


The only reason you have a championship is because you beat a depleted team lmao. Win one year and this moron suddenly forgets all the other smackings his team received in the past.


Rofl didn’t the Raptors only beat the Warriors without Durant and like 4.5 games without Klay as well?

My opinion matters as much as yours or anybody else's on here. I'm sure I'm not the only one that thinks you're embarassing yourself in here. The only thing weird is your obsession with the Raptors and being bitter over any form of success they have.


That’s fantastic and I’ll continue to not gaf what you or anyone else thinks is embarrassing in here. You trying to act like you have any weight on the matter is the weirdchamp flex. I can say whatever I want about the Raptors, continue to be salty about it tho


I can care less but I find your comment rather ironic.

The Nets are contenders but the Heat aren’t. Butler isn’t a true #1 that anyone is afraid of. Can’t shoot the 3 and doesn’t respond well to being locked down. Lowry isn’t even a #3 on a title contender at 36. Bam clearly has mental problems with his unwillingness to shoot wide open jumpers and his shooting percentages taking a dip. Probably still having nightmares of Giannis slamming it on him, poor guy

I find it entertaining how upset you are about it. By the way saying you can care less means you do care

as a raps fam I haven't loved siakam for a long time... but considering he won a championship as the second/third option, I'd say he more than "probably" is one on a good team today lol

Very strange how a lie, if told enough times, can become the ‘truth’…. ‘Raptors beat warriors without KD or klay’. Nope, he didn’t miss 4.5 games, he averaged 37.6 minutes a night across 5 games of a 6 game series.

Butler has outplayed Giannis in a whole playoff series and taken his team to the Finals. You got dementia or something?

Butler had nobody to check him. Now Holiday is here to check him. You seem to be the one with dementia because Miami had a completely fair chance to prove that they were legitimate last year and they got pulverized. Why is it different this year by adding a declining Lowry? Lowry is going to defend Giannis? They have Dedmon and Bam that’s about it, not going to cut it.

You got me. A real behavioral scientist we got here. Because I do actually care, had I said I did, would that mean I don't? Just trying to learn from you on how I can be a better human in life.

I guess Holiday is the real superstar then huh. How much help does Giannis need? Butler can shut down Giannis, but Giannis can't shut down Butler then? You're just going to keep making excuses huh?

The Heat got PJ Tucker, remember the guy who started for you in the playoffs and guarded Durant? Lemme guess, he can guard Durant but can't check Giannis though, right? Dumber in every post.

Nah I guess Lowry is the real superstar that he’s going to be the difference maker of getting swept and winning a series.

ROFL PJ f***ing Tucker? You got jokes. I would LOVE to see PJ Tucker do anything to slow Giannis down at this point of his career

First you argue in this thread that Lowry was better than Siakam and the #2 on our championship, now you're gonna turn around and say he's not a difference maker. Which one is it? You're tripping over yourself.

Is Lowry even a vote getter for the All-Star game this year? Siakam is younger, no **** he would develop and Lowry would decline

Ofc you would think the quality of a player depends on how many All-Star votes they get, why would anyone expect anything better from you.

His worst 3 pt shooting in a dozen years sure is a good sign for his significant contribution to Championship contender basketball.

Averaging 56 TS%, same as his championship year. Lemme guess though, you don't believe in advanced stats, only All-Star votes. :lol:

The Heat have two non-shooting stars constantly in their lineup. If Lowry can't shoot the 3 as well they will be easier to defend. This isn't rocket science

Miami is 2nd in league in 3-pt%. Dumber with every post.

What does that have to do with what I just said?

The Heat want to run a lineup with Lowry/Butler/Bam. It doesn't matter what their 3 pt % is if they have to put out lineups with 2-3 non 3 pt threats consistently.

The only one proving to be dumber with every post is you. Try adding context to your takes
