My issue is with giving DeRozan credit for supposedly doing his part of the job on team defence, when it should be expected that he brings that effort on that end of the floor, especially when he brings very little on the other side.


Team defense isn't just about effort, it's about knowing when to rotate and being in the correct position at all times. DeRozan's rarely out of position. I don't know why it's so hard to give him credit here for this.


He's quite average on help defence but if it makes you feel any better he does it better than Ross. I just don't why we need to give him credit for that, it's not like he's 36 years old.


It's not like I'm going around in every topic justifying DeRozan's game by saying he's a good team defender. I just made ONE comment on it, and then you jump all over it saying "so what? Who gives a ****?"

I honestly hate the heat and Wade for the way he strong armed the bulls in 2010 but for how poor the playoffs have been and for myself as a fan I really just want to see Wade vs Lebron.

I'm not sure the heat stand much of a chance, but give me a story line in East I mean my goodness. Last thing I want is a tough 7 game series between GSW and SA while Lebron and company sweep well rested through the playoffs.

Not that it matters anyways. Heat would get destroyed by the Cavs.

I didn't say the heat would win but my days would be a whole hell of a lot better ending my day with Wade vs Lebron followed by Warriors/Spurs.

So raptors get the lead in the series after being pretty awful all playoffs and a large number of their fans come out and start talking so much trash... You know you could still lose the series right? Theres a reason most people root against the raptors....

I dont think they are talking ****. Not sure if you seen how confident the heat fans were on the early pages. Saying they will win in 4 or 5 easily.... This is just a response to that.

Funny that you don't mention all the trash the Heat fans were talking before this series even began. Weren't they saying this was going to be a sweep? With no games played?

That's cool in your eyes though I'm assuming?

It's just nature balancing out the rest of the Raptor fans who think that no matter how well the Raps are doing, they'll lose.

2 series wins in 20 years + a good chance to go to the ECF= trash talk that we've had to endure from other teams fans for as long as we've been bad

There is so much slime resonating in the Heat organization and fan base all their injuries must be from karma.
If the Raps can't beat them I'll enjoy them being absolutely demolished by Cleveland next series.

Any Valanciunas updates? Might miss game 4 right.

Is Whiteside likely out for the series?

My dad's from the GTA and I lived there until I was 5 so I need updates. When the Raptors are losing, he doesn't leave me alone. So, need the Raps to win this series. I got a soft spot for them too. 8-)

Honestly the heat haven't accomplished anything to be talking like they are a top notch organisation like the lakers.

This raps team are young and with a lot of good assets moving forward including a high draft pick this year, I also wish the cavs good luck in this year run because Lebron is hell of a player, as well as wade.

You just don't know with the right pieces added Toronto can be really dangerous in the next 5 years. I would think many stars wouldn't mind too much to play alongside Jonas val, the kid is so young still
