I wish DeRozan played better on the offensive end, but got to give credit to his defense. He isn't shutting anyone down, but he's making all the correct team defensive plays. If he was a weak link in our defense the Heat would be scoring at will against us.

Respect to Lowry for finally showing up. Great win for the Raptors. Regained HCA. This series might be going all the way.

Derozan was complete trash as usual. Please for the love of god and my fam in Toronto, fire Casey and let Derozan walk.

I agree, despicable. I've never seen any athlete do that in nba, nhl, mlb or anywhere else. Doesn't matter how much you hate your opponent, be it basketball, boxing w/e you always respect things like that.

Agreed. I'm hoping that letting Lowry & Derozan shoot out of their slumps may pay off in the end. If both are firing at a high clip by the time we get to the ECF we have a chance


Derozan will get completely wiped out by Lebron and Shumpert if they make it to the ECF. It will all be on Lowry and JV. DD has the least adaptable game ive ever seen.

I just realy dont like Derozan. Everyone else on the raps is likeable but it bothers me when he is on the winning basketball team. I dont feel like he deserves it.

Anyway, hope both teams get healthy.

I honestly don't think it's crazy to say JR is more impactful than DeRozan.

Clearly, Wade has little respect for British dependencies.

The full wrath of the Queen's snatch will soon be upon him.

Heat deserved to lose this game.

I'm not a fan of Toronto in the slightest (they're one of the teams I dislike the most), but even I wanted to see them win that game tonight. They showed grit and fight, and Miami just doesn't seem to be taking the series seriously. It's like they think they can turn it on whenever they want and just take the series.

Miami is more then the Lebron years, sorry rap fans. Hence why were 3 games away from the conference finals without him and Bosh.


Yup, Heat are a lock for the ECF right?

Nice win by the Raps. I have no preference to who wins this series, just hope Whiteside and JV are ready to go again soon. Nice game by Lowry too.

He's more impactful than DeRozan when he's hitting threes at an abnormal rate and playing alongside three all-star calibre offensive talents. Put JR Smith in DeRozan's role and the Raptors don't have HCA in the playoffs.

He absolutely is. Derozan as far as i can tell is a net neutral player. Misses far more than he makes, little to no playmaking, average defender. Terrible shots at inopportune times.

Id rather have a role player in tbh.

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.
