we're gonna need big games from them. wade and hassan are banged up. hassan barely looks mobile out there. heat win tonight, they can sweep and get as much rest as possible before the ECF. raps win, the heat will still win in 5 but that extra trip back to toronto will take away some crucial recovery time.

If our All-Stars play to their full potential then there's no reason we cannot beat Miami. We are a better team.

But we are so reliant on this "what if" complex. If we can just get back to playing our reg. season standard of ball we should take care of Miami. This years team was designed to reach the ECF at least and most likely lose to the Cavs. I have faith we can take at least 1 in Miami and that's all we need because if the Raps pick it up, Miami aren't winning in Toronto again and we'll take care of it in 7.

your arguement was dead right there.

maybe you should get new all-stars who dont fold like lawn chairs then.

With DeRozan I agree

with Lowry I really think he has a confidence issue right now but I'm sure he can pull through plus he brings so much to the table

idk man I want to have faith and nah I think it's a valid argument when they showed up for 82 games this year. I know the playoffs is a different animal but I'm sure they can turn it on. They're playing bad beyond belief rn.

with Lowery its not confidence tho. go back & look at his playoff resume. he is historical a bad postseason player.

well because it's confidence not due to lack of talent

they're both talented but idk what the fukk happens, it's so frustrating to watch

we'll see how the series plays out I'm interested to see if they turn it around

DeRozan at least puts points on the board but shoots a terrible percentage

heat shot 8-11 from 3 and the Raptors shot 5-21 in the first game. I doubt there is that kind of gap again.

Toronto should win this game but if miami steals another one it's probably done

Some people are pointing to his elbow, and I'm not saying that dude isn't hurt but heading into this season he was a career 36% playoff shooter, so I'm not entirely sure I can give him the benefit of the doubt

Let the shots be droppin tonight

He had a messed up back and had Wall locking him up last year. He's been awful but he definitely hasn't been healthy in the playoffs the last 2 years

exactly how can you blame his elbow when the numbers speak for themselves.

 

[SchoolboyC]

He had a messed up back and had Wall locking him up last year. He's been awful but he definitely hasn't been healthy in the playoffs the last 2 years

Last year only accounted for 4 out of 24 career playoff games for him heading into this season.

I mean there's really no way you can slice it, he's historically shot like shyt in the playoffs. He is hurt, but history tells us he probably wouldn't have been shooting the ball that well anyway
