Cooling down the heat with a little drizz(y)le: Raptors Vs Heat Thread

[Jordan>>LeFrozen]

If Val doesn't get hurt, the Raptors run away with the series. I can play that game too.

Val not doing anything against both bosh and whiteside on the floor together

 

[Dirty D]

I voted Raptors in 7 before this series started.

This isn't gonna be an easy game though.

 

[Biscayne]

Winslow's so good at cutting and getting behind the defense. Same with Deng. It's them Duke boys...

 

[Tic Tac T O]

we got this, I ain't worried bout nothing. my only concern is where am I gonna watch it. 3:30 pm start time is some bullshyt

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

If Val and Hassan remain healthy raps lose in 6
If bosh was there raps lose in 5 or get swept
It is what it is

Losing whiteside is a wayyyyy bigger lost for the heat than yall losing Val
Yall have suitable replacements
Heat starting Winslow at 5 and raps still losing lmao
No reason why this series should be even close
Yet it's coming down to a game 7
So yea lil Homie, count dem lucky stars

at all this nonsense.

I see you're just covering your tracks after what you said prior to the start of the series. Oh and by the way, I'm not a Raptors fan.

It doesn't work like that, especially since the Heat's offense was horrible with both of them on the floor together.

Yeah it does when we're struggling to score points and need more 3 points shots. Bosh stretches the floor and can defend the pick and roll (which Whiteside struggles with). Our offense has been a work in progress all season so saying having Bosh and Whiteside both healthy wouldn't help us is a joke. Wade and Dragic also looked horrible with both of them on the floor earlier but in the second half of the season we improved with chemistry....Bosh unfortunately was gone so he didn't get to keep playing. If Bosh was playing we win this series in 5 or 6 games.

And who is your team?

What part of "the Heat's offense was horrible with both of them on the floor together" don't you understand?

That's not what I said at all.

That's because y'all increased the pace and added a 3-pt shooting wing that can rotate through the frontcourt - y'all would most probably still have a slow, stagnant offense if Bosh was still in the starting lineup. That doesn't mean he wouldn't have helped y'all at all, just that it would've have come in the form of starting.

If Bosh was playing we win this series in 5 or 6 games.

You can't say this, it's pointless even going down this road given how many other factors would need to be considered. Especially since this Raptors squad didn't have two of its starters for a good portion of the regular season and still ended up grabbing the 2nd seed. I know this board likes to shyt on Toronto due to their poor history, but they proved themselves as a legitimate force this season.

 

[Luke Cage]

Bosh was our leading scorer this season anyone saying that loss isn't a big deal is deluded.

People said the samething about Wade and he adapted Bosh would do the same. If anyone can adapt to the play the team needs it's Bosh he had to adapt his game and mindset when Lebron came and he's a team player. No downside to having him healthy on this team.

And what does Raptors having injuries during the regular season have to do with Bosh being OUT IN THE PLAYOFFS. We had regular season injuries too....Im addressing that our leading scorer this season hasn't played a single playoff game. So yeah like I said if he was playing we win in 5 or 6 games.

And again who is your team? You didn't answer that last time..

This it?

It's less that he adapted (which is not to say he didn't at all), and more the fact that his style was balanced out by the rest of the starting lineup - which wouldn't have happened with Wade, Bosh and Whiteside on the floor together. The offense would've still most probably stayed the same.

And what does Raptors having injuries during the regular season have to do with Bosh being OUT IN THE PLAYOFFS. We had regular season injuries too....Im addressing that our leading scorer this season hasn't played a single playoff game. So yeah like I said if he was playing we win in 5 or 6 games.

It would pay to read what I was replying to and maybe you'd see why I brought that point up.

I don't have a team.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Look at Jalen Rose y'all.

I knew there was going to be a game 7 as soon as the refs made that laughable offensive cylinder call on Biyombo's putback at the beginning of the game. The sad part is the Heat probably could have won without ref assistance with the way Dragic was playing

.....raps got outplayed. just accept it. Lowry got to the line plenty. let's talk about the foul tyler Johnson had where kyle elbowed him the face. announcers said it was horrible. the non call where wade got clearly fouled by biyumbo and hubie said was an easy call. the play where mcbob got fouled by biyumbo and once again hubie said there was obvious contact. so stop the lame shyt. there were bad calls on BOTH sides. anybody blaming the refs for that loss is a clown. missing wide open layups. fighting eachother for rebounds. raps played like some ho's.

Yeah the heat didn't need the help at all. Made it even more shameful. The heat are a perfectly fine lil squad, they don't need to be babied the way they are
