Series Thread: 2) Toronto Raptors (56-26) vs. 3) Miami Heat (48-34)

[CodeBreaker]

Miami could win Friday. I just don't see them winning in Toronto without Whiteside and possibly Deng. I really don't care to see a Lebron vs Wade ECF when we will be without Whiteside, Bosh, and possibly Deng.

Well looking at it, even tho we win this series, Cavs will just destroy us which is shameful to see. Hope next year we can have a full healthy squad going against LeBron.

That's not even factoring in how rested James will be, and were already running on fumes, let alone 2 more games like this then traveling to Cleveland the next day.

You never know for sure, but I would expect the Cavs to win game 1 like the Spurs did vs Ok City.

Lowry finally had a respectful game in the playoffs. Took him long enough.

Miami has already given up. You have to give the Cavs credit last year for losing their #2 and #3 players -- and they didn't give up in the Finals.

They still had LeBron and some shooters.
That gives you a punchers chance.

Plus, I didn't ever see us give up.
We got to within 1, then just got outplayed for 90 seconds.

Well they had LeBron, the guy who turns any team into a championship contender.

He was damn good in game 3.....only had 29 points in the 2nd half of game 3

Miami has already given up? Where and how? They were down 7 late in game 4....Fought to come back and win it. Tonight they were down by 13 on the road with 8+ to go in the 4th. They were able to cut that lead down to 1 with under 2 to go and had a chance to steal one.

If Miami really gave up, the series would have finished tonight. Saying Miami gave up is pretty stupid and sounds like someone attempting to troll

I don't know how anyone with a brain could watch the last 2 games and say "Miami has given up".

 

[bksballer89]

Still waiting to hear the logic on how Miami has given up considering they had huge 4th quarter comebacks the last 2 games. That should be fun.

If you want to see a team who gave up, look no further than the Houston Rockets in round 1.....that is a team who gave up. This Heat team give up? Hell nah. Those guys don't know what the word give up means. They fully expect to win this series still

it's refreshing to watch these other series and see NBA players that can actually make shots.

I'm waiting as well.

I know it was posted before but this was too good of a sequence by BiBi:


Also pray JYD 2.0 isn't hurt too bad. X-rays were negative but he does have a wrist contusion. No JV is one thing but losing Carroll too would blow hard.

 

[avalon2423]

I think we can win Game 6 for sure. game 7 will be tough on the road, but if by miracle Whiteside comes back for it, and/or JJ and Dragic and hell half the team start hitting their shots we could take Game 7.

Lot of ifs and buts

 

[avalon2423]

Any word yet on Carroll or Deng's injuries?

Nope but Deng basically said if nothing is broken he's playing. It's not on his shooting hand anyway

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I don't even care if we lose this series with our current injury situation

Totally understandable under the circumstances.

I felt the same way.

There are certain Teams that you take things more personally when you play them.

It hurts just a bit more if you get dominated.

With the injury situation for both Teams, a talented rested Cavs Team should end it in 5.

At max 5. I honestly think the Cavs will sweep the next series at this rate. Wiggy for once was right, albeit injuries taken into consideration.
