    I have a feeling Lowry/DeRozan will play well in the ECF. They transition from being favorites to massive underdogs. All the pressure is gone now.

    Yup he did... Just like he had heart and fire in the games he shot like crap during these playoffs.

    Having heart and playing with fire, doesn't mean winning every time you play or for that matter even playing well.

    Sometimes you lose because the opponent is better or you had a bad shooting night or you were unlucky or you played poorly or the ball just didnt bounce the right way or a multitude of things that may not be in you control.

    What you can control however is your own disposition and effort... and that is playing hard, with effort, intensity and not quitting. Thats what players like Lowry, chuck Hayes, Biyombo, draymond Green, Beverley and many others do, they play with heart and fire.

    Lowry locked himself in the gym till 1am after the first game where he sucked.

    Harden went to a strip club.


    Who's getting Mollywooped? Harden has been throwing $20s at strippers for almost a month now.

    Lowry was ready to ditch Toronto and re-join McHale in Houston but that fat idiot Murrah concentrated on a loser like Melo instead. Lowry signed a $12 million deal, Murrah could've given him $13 million.

    Yup. One is committed, the other is not.

    Is it worth starting a thread on how much Wade will get paid this summer?

    Probably too early.

    great win for Lowry, the Raptors and Canada... but their about to get crushed by Lebron and the Cavs.

    I doubt it, but I hope they manage to win two games just to make it somewhat interesting... but if the cavs continue their 3 point shooting expect a sweep.

    We don't even need Parsons in that lineup who is perma injured

    Replace him with Ariza and we still look great.

    Although who knows, no chemistry is still no chemistry.

    Raptors play well because they have great team work and trust eachother. We are the exact opposite

    I'd still rather have Parsons than Ariza assuming those knees are ok. As for chemistry, that's why I qualified it by saying McHale or JB weren't the coach. I refuse to believe a competent head coach couldn't get Harden and Howard to co-exist.

    And someone on this forum *cough* hakeemtha"great" :rolleyes::rolleyes: *cough* want Jackson to be Rockets next HC.

    Congrats to Toronto, won in a decisive rout. For those unimpressed about the next round...with the games every-other-day, it'll be over fast. Another sweep for CLE.

    Wade consoled Dragic when latter exited game. Told him, "Look, G, we did everything that we could. If u want 2 go far, u need to be healthy"

    The Heat were very resilient until the very end. They kept coming back even against Toronto's loud crowd, the fact that Toronto wouldn't miss, and the fact that the refs were giving the Raptors every call.

    The Heat were also severely undersized. Winslow/Deng were playing the 5. This series would have finished in 5 if Whiteside were playing. Toronto's about to get swept by Cleveland.

    Let's not play the health game, bc the Heat were without their leading scorer for the entire playoffs.
