[Eastern Conference Semifinals] (2)Toronto vs. (3)Miami

Man, this series is all over the place. Now, Dragic with a sub-par performance and Lowry looking like a superstar.

 

I like my raptors in 7 pick

 

KLow7
Pat Pat
Scola
Carroll

We gotta root for Toronto

 

We shoulda kept all of them. We now would be 2 games away from ECF.

 

Problem was, Lowry wouldn't have that.

Hahahha, Miami. YOU SUCK!

 

Looks like both teams lost their starting center.

Raptors without Valanciunas has no chance.

 

Is that Vince McMahon's theme music???

Not like he could shoot any worse.

 

Cavs going to have back to back sweeps

 

to back.

 

Every time refs have been calling phantom calls on Dragic, who couldn't play as much as he wanted, Heat lost. Last quarter he was watching wade's heroics from the bench with 5 fouls.
Some may say Spoelstra went with a hot hand (Wade), but he goes to him also when he is cold. And don't let me start on ISO Joe.
Dragic proved he could be a clutch player in previous games, but superstars like Wade obviously get pushed forward no matter if cold/hot, healthy/injured etc. Add ref's agenda each game, and NBA games become completely unwatchable at times.

 

Toronto looking a little sluggish out there in the first quarter

 

These teams are not very good.

 

just kind of an ugly game so far

 

If you took out wade and put in Lebron or took out derozan and put in Lebron both those teams are going to the finals.

 

The lack of ball awareness by the entire Raptors defense was inexcusable. Everybody but Carroll had their back turned and Wade went right around him for the layup.
