    Lowry taking over baby!

    Huge game so far from KLOE!

    Joe Johnson is looking unstoppable, but need more touches.

    Derozan as usual not shooting well, but is getting to the line. Still a long time to go, Raptors need someone else to step up.

    The Heat are done for tonight. Teams don't lose 3 quarters then go on to steal a win.

    Still ain't. He's been Brewer-esque bad on defense. Might as well try Gerald Green.

    I hope you're right! Love rooting for Lowry, Scola, Patterson & Biyombo.

    Unfortunately the Raptors recent history of dissapointments in the playoffs is disconcerting.

    No they're not. The Heat/Wade get in LeBron's head, which as everyone knows, is his main weakness. The Cavs will easily sweep Toronto and fat KHLOE.

    Not sure about that, although I do feel they are better than Miami. Heat vs Cavs just feels like a more competitive, and challenging series. The Raptors would either lose in 5 or be swept kind of like the Rockets last season vs GS.

    Justice Winslow is going to be a beast throughout his career.

    i'm rooting for toronto but it seems like toronto is getting almost every call. they really seem to hate dragic. and you would think the league would want miami vs lebron (or wade vs lebron at least).

    Toronto Raptors are pretty much Canada Raptors. They want the whole country of Canada glued in. NBA loves international exposure.

    exactly. as a fan of cleveland, i am big time rooting for toronto. derozan 20 footers probably aren't going to get it done over a 7 game series. but lebron facing his old team could get in lebron's head and that is the only chance either of these teams have. talent-wise they have no chance.

    the heat's grittiness, some actual defenders for lebron, and their experience has a chance. plus, just like the celtics and bulls always seemed to shoot better against lebron than other teams, i have a feeling the heat will have a few on fire games.

    raptors pushed the lead to 17 halfway into the third. Good timeout by Spoelstra after which Maimi makes a big 7-0 run. Winslow makes a 3, Toronto followed with a derozan turnover. Miami scores again, Derozan misses two more shots as Miami scores again.

    I predict the Raptors will be in the bonus at the 8 minute mark.
