You guys caught a break. Unfortunately Whiteside's status doesn't appear to be good either.

Would suck if both are out. They made the series fun to watch, aside from those two, its a chuck fest. Aside from the Franchise taking over though ;)

I still think Toronto wins, we just look awful on offense right now. This does help our chances though.

things almost evens out but we have fewer contributors outside of wade and deng and sometimes goran so...it does not look good for us because you guys at least have biyombo who is another tall player

Full on small ball for the rest of the series now I assume. New strategies will be huge for both teams.

I don't really see it like that. Without Whiteside & Bosh we stand no chance against Cleveland. Frankly, I prefer to lose to Toronto than see LeBron's smiling face when he drops 40 on us.

Does make it easier to sell to free agents though. "Hey we made it to the ECF without Whiteside and Bosh".

We have no active center on the roster now. Wow. They still have Biyombo that is a true center (like Joel anthony). And he's a pretty good rebounder.

God I hope Haslem is up for this. I know his foot injury is limiting him, but that's our only chance against Biyombo.

Biyombo cant catch anything else than an alley oop pass though :( This will get ugly.. First to 85 points win

The finals will be worse. I'm really sorry for both fan bases. Valanciunas is a very good player and Whiteside has often been our biggest difference maker. It doesn't matter which of our teams benefits the most. Who gives a ££££? There is no advantage at all to playing Cleveland without great rim protection. That would be a sweep and very disheartening.

Lol... We caught a break when we're already playing without our best player and Whiteside has been hurt the entire playoffs. :crazy:

Whiteside has been injured all series. But yeah, if val wasn't hurt and Whiteside was out we'd be in ****.

Once Tyler Johnson finally plays and Whiteside comes back Miami is going to blow this team out.
