Fully expect Demar and Lowry to shoot better %s today. I think playing in Miami with one of the least passionate fan bases will take the pressure off.

Huge difference between playing in front of one of the best crowds (Toronto) and one of the worst (Miami)

The 6
The 2010 draft was a much more touted draft, this years one looks to be bad with the exception of 2 players.

2011-2015 drafts, picks 8-10

2011
Brandon Knight
Kemba Walker
Jimmer Fredette

2012
Terrence Ross
Andre Drummond
Austin Rivers

2013
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
Trey Burke
CJ McCollum

2014
Nik Stauskas
Noah Vonleh
Elfrid Payton

2015
Stanley Johnson
Frank Kaminsky
Justise Winslow

There's at least one really good player in the mix there almost every year. That's not to mention guys taken later in those drafts that outperformed their draft slot. If Masai can nail this pick or flip it in a trade package that only improves the team's outlook. It's rare that a 56-win team has an asset like this.

Wouldn't work, Wade is at the tail end of his career. Durant should just stay in OKC and retool.
it's been 8 years man. it's not happening.


Riley has shown he can get the pieces for his star player. Dragic + Wade > playing with Russ at this point. Plus he's in the East

not a fan of either team and i still think miami easily win this series but seeing their fans so confident for the cavs this postseason has had me like :mjlol:


cavs in 5 easily
this is personal we should be confident and if we lose so what we weren't supposed to be here this fast anyway according to yall so we playing with house money everybody (with a brain at least) knows the cavs aint winning the finals so if they beat us they get to talk shyt for a couple of weeks then around middle of june we get to clown them right back....EVERYTHANG WORKIN

Even in the east, I don't think they are good enough to beat the Cavs and then they face the same problem of being good enough to get to the conference finals but not good enough to advance.

In its final two-minute report for Game 2, the NBA said there were two incorrect non-calls, both costing the Heat, and that Toronto players should have been called for fouls in both instances — once in the fourth quarter and another in overtime.

On one of them, the NBA said Valanciunas extended his leg on a screen on Goran Dragic without giving him room to avoid the contact. It marked the third time that the NBA conceded that a late game foul should have been called on Valanciunas’ screen.
:francis:I can see why Dragic is fed up with the refs

Toronto almost lost at home twice so I don't see them making out if this round. Heat easily could of been 2-0 going back to Miami if they had stayed consistent. I expect a victory tonight and Monday too
