So were the Heat. 21 turnovers.


55% field goal percentage

We shot 63% in the first Q iirc, but we were still down like 12

Turnovers are a big deal

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?

And again, that was with PG and Hill playing their best ball of the season and DeLowry playing their worst. With Scola and Ross playing like complete ass. They STILL lost. To JV, Carroll and our bench.

Tonight you had Lowry playing awful, DeRozan playing awful including the single worst FT performance of his career. Wade and Dragic played well, Whiteside played well. And you STILL lost. Last game, same story and you barely won. You're losing to our depth.

If DeMar and Kyle were even at 70% performance this series wouldnt even be close. Its a bit embarassing for your team actually.


What are you on about? This is EXACTLY who Demar and Lowry are. Keep waiting on them to "step up".

Demar is a wannabe Kobe that shoots mid range Js at 30%. Il live with it

Lowry is just a bonafied Choke artist. Better hope that plane has a Basketball court inside so he can get some more practice shots up.

Miami sloppy with the ball once again. It serves them right to lose. Hopefully this gives them a sense of urgency to take better care of the ball.

you do realize toronto had the 4th best record in the league, and under that setup would have played detroit and likely made the 2nd round, right? and miami as the 7th seed would have faced charlotte as a 10th seed? conference seeding had nothing to do with these two teams making the 2nd round

*edit* i misread what you wrote/misinterpreted "NBA semi-final." My bad, you're right

Good experience for the rooks and Whiteside though


Heat are advancing based on what? Heat fans are dillusional. I'll put it in a nice way, you guys are not a good basketball team.

Ok so you're struggling against a bunch of role players and choke artists, what a great team you have there. :roll: :roll:

Why Miami fans so mean man. Just watch the series. Better team won today, better team won game 1, Miami has home court now and neither team has really set themselves apart and looked really poor and lacked poise.

So much vitriol for two teams which aren't separated by much who will be dismantled by the Cavs lol.

No doubt I have said as much. Only problem is; Toronto is a lot worse. Two ISO chuckers shooting 10% ain't gonna cut it, not on south beach bud

Right now? Yikes

Well technically Derozan is putting up more than 60% of his numbers from the regular season

I'm not trying to make it seem like Toronto is playing anywhere near good, but the Miami fans thinking they're going to win it in 5 is the funniest thing, yall just as bad.

Exactly, they talk as if they are a superior team to us. We at least admit it will be a good series.

Nice win for the Raptors to make this a series. I really like what JV is doing in the playoffs. Even though Whiteside is a monster at blocking shots. I would start game 3 through him, try getting Whiteside in foul trouble early especially with how DeRozen/Lowry are doing right now. Take a lil pressure off those two.

I really don't get Miami fans. They think their team is elite yet they just lost a game with its two star players going 16-46 :crazy:
