Of course we can win on Friday - All wins from either team have been nail bitters but it will take a better execution down the stretch for us to win on the road!

Win on Friday, and we get the ECF starting on Sunday.

Pacers are better than Miami, we will be fine.

Also - I want to say this - at least this series has been a HELL OF A RIDE. At least we can sit here and say that this series, albeit an ugly brand of basketball between the 2, has been super competitive and close and VERY tough to predict who will come out on top. It seems like parity is something we dont have in the NBA very often and at least the Raptors have done a good job of debunking that fact.

My thoughts exactly. I want to win in 6, but this feels like it's going 7. And if we lose in 7 to the Heat, well, hey, it was an unbelievable ride. It's been up and down, and yeah we should've won game 4 but for some ridiculous moves (which were rectified tonight), but I think when we look back at it, we'll appreciate two intense 7 game series.

Now that said, I want to win game 6 and if not, win game 7. I just have this feeling we should expect another Sunday game 7... everyone predicted a 7 game series from the start, and hard to see why that'd change now.

[slaps self]
Ok enough with that... let's just win game 6 and save us the heartache. I just hope Carroll is healthy, because if not, Wade is going to go on fire at home.

this series shouldve been over tonight. the refs **** us by fouling lowry out in game 4, but even so we had that game in the bag and were literally one stop away from winning and we gave up a **** layup... were winning in 6 period, miami is ****.

We were confident but shouldn't have been. Pacers killed us in G4 and should have beat us in G5. That and desperation to save the series for them pointed towards a great Game 6 for Pacers especially with their crowd.

The Heat we've outplayed 3 straight games and frankly they haven't looked good once this series. In Games 3 and 4 I was waiting for the "Pacers Game 4" loss where the ball is flying around for open 3s and the crowd is going crazy and it never happened.

I think a lot of it has to do with our defense. Our defense has been pretty incredible this series - not going to lie. We can criticize the Raptors for struggling offensively for 2 straight series however we also need to give them credit for keeping these to low scoring affairs. The defense has been absolutely on another level - top notch - Spurs level elite D with Carroll, BB, JV, Cory and PatPat.

Yea, I think Casey and his staff deserve a lot of credit. Whatever we did - it has just owned Miami's offense

we got blown out and then were on the verge of getting blown out before the miracle comeback in the 2 games prior to game 6 against indiana... miami has not even been close to dominating us in any game this series... in fact, you can make the argument that the series should be over by now had they not **** up game 4... like i said, as long as we dont let them get a double digit lead early, were winning game 6. period.

Any updates on Carroll?

sule · Post #34 » by **sule** » Thu May 12, 2016 5:54 am

The great thing about being up in the series is that if Toronto gets up at any point in the first three quarters like they did tonight, Miami will fold. A big early lead will completely shatter their confidence, especially their younger players.

I'm not even worried about Butt-clench Wade, since he's having a difficult time getting past Biz.

He's really making me question Spo's acumen. He just hasn't really impressed me with anything they've done, neither offensively nor defensively. As much of a critic as i've been of Casey, i must admit he's looking better than Spo right now.

I don't care if we get swept by the Cavs next round, just WIN FRIDAY

i predict the heat will have a team meeting after game 6 with punches being thrown, audio being recorded and spo getting fired

Honestly we are blessed. The Raptors could have lost to Indiana easily by going down 3-2 in Game 5 or even worse completing the choke in Game 7. Indiana outscored us by 10 in the series, had a superstar we couldn't handle, beat our superstars to a pump and moved the ball shockingly well at times. A first round loss would have been the nadir of misery hard to come back from for the fans and team. Instead they survive, Lowry has some of his best playoff moments and are on the verge of going to ECF where no Raptor team has ever gone before.

Feels like the Heat's smallball could have been more dangerous. Ability to play off Winslow is a big help. I forgot if they've even tried a Dragic, Wade, Richardson, Joe, Deng lineup. 3 shooters in the frontcourt combined with two slashing guards could have been hard.
