The homerism on both sides in this thread is hilarious.

i think the Raptors are still not playing well but still in the series so i guess if they just turn that corner, they can beat Miami in Miami and win this series.

Yeah this is the first time the homerism wasn't annoying because it's balanced on both sides.

I like both teams and JV is a lot better than I thought. Both teams made the second round in the deepest East since maybe 1998, and one team is missing their max PF and the other's 2 all-stars had untimely injuries. Both still have the opportunity from young players and cap space to continue to improve further. The playoff experience now is just going to help that. I think it's great for the Miami rookies, new players, and guys like Dragic (who still didn't find his comfort zone).

Not surprisingly, there are always haters who don't seem to enjoy basketball talking about how "bad" both teams are and the certain sweep of the victor by the Cavs. Both Miami and Toronto have shots at upsets.

Raps board meltdown is going to be epic when Masai gives DeRozan the max.

Yes Im very confused too by Heat fans illusions that their team is really solid. Most raps fans know raps aint that good.

It seems like Miami winning Charlotte in 7 for some reason made a lot of their fans think Miami is a really really good team.

why do the raps fans keep saying 'fam'? Is that Canadian slang or something?

He better be, I wanted to turn the game off seeing him pass up lay ups.

Not specific to Canadian slang at all. How old are you roughly and where do you live? That would answer it, no offense.

I think everyone knew raptors would take this game. Miami takes the next two games. Then raptors get 1 more game at home. Then Miami finishes the series off in Game 6 at home.

Heat aren't good......depth issues.


Raptors aren't good......choker issues.

This thread is unbearable for me to read as a Raptors fan. I don't condone some of the Heat fans cockily trash talking my team throughout this topic, but then some Raptors fans here are doing it worse to the Heat.

Huge win for raps, tight series so far. Lowry least played better even though his shot still off
