Jonas out for rest of series (via Raptors press release)

I assume Whiteside will be too.

Well...this is unfortunate. Loved watching JV play - so much anger and aggression (and the occasional flop).

We are the deepest, and most devoted group of fans in the entire league.... and **** continues to happen to us over the course of the 21 years of our existence.

The GOAT matchup of Luis Scola versus Josh McRoberts is looking more likely with Whiteside and Val out.

No!!!! This is terrible. Plus Whiteside is probably out for the rest of the series too.

Can't see how you come back from a sprained MCL in a week.

6"10 Jason Thompson and 7"0 Bebe about to be activated now, most likely.

And starting at center for your Toronto Raptors, Patrick Patterson

This series really depends on Derozan now

He's literally the X-factor for both teams whether he helps the Heat with his typical playoff performance, or finally wakes up and helps the Raptors

Canada we cheer for both anthems.. When the sound cut out during the American anthem the fans continue to sing it for them.
America you boo our anthem, shoot during it and random chant USA like its the olympics.

Whiteside gets hurt and we cheer when he gets up and is ok.
Val goes down and Miami cheers for a injury.

You guys deserve trump

Not all of you but those morons do, the rest you should go somewhere people know what what respect is.

You say all this like Canada didn't recently elect a complete joke of a political leader itself. You too, have basically elected a celebrity, just one that bows down like a obsequious serf to whatever pc piety is the rave at any given time. That doesn't make him better than Trump: it just makes him Trump (i.e. no substance) without the willingness to step on toes or piss people offs.

I mean, Trump is a **** candidate, but at least he's not just a pretty face that tries to be everyone's friend, and says the least controversial thing he can think of whenever possible. He has no more substance than Trump: he's just a crowd-pleaser with good PR, and based off your posts, that's what you Canadians deserve. He walks, talks and acts like a celebrity, not a political leader; y'all have nothing to brag about in this regard.

And yet here you are, talking smack about a far more successful country than yours, because you're upset someone didn't respect your anthem? Give me a damn break. No one likes an obsequious suck-up who is desperate for everyone to like him, and that's how you come across with this "we finish your anthem" bs. If you want to know why people "disrespect" you, then this is why.

It's crap like this that's why Americans have the worst reputation outside their country for being the most uneducated and sheltered people there are.

Hope Whiteside comes back by GAME 4. The Heat really need him.

If Whiteside comes back, it's only a matter of time before that knee buckles.

It's looked very very fragile this whole series.

Please don't classify these heat fans with all Americans. I know how important national anthems are for every nation, Wade just completely **** up and showed no class. He should apologize publicly.

I've heard A LOT of stuff about Raps fans over the time I've been involved with RealGM but never really experienced anything myself so I dismissed it. This series has taught me that the hype is real. I don't understand how so many of you are so arrogant with such a mediocre team history. I'm not trying to be rude ( I understand that the question sounds rude ), I'm just trying to understand. Was it because some people were saying that the Raps would lose easily to this HEAT team? Let me know, if you care to educate me.
