Cooling down the heat with a little drizz(y)le: Raptors Vs Heat Thread

[((ReFleXioN)) EteRNaL]

You're trying so hard to troll here that you're just kind of making yourself look dumb

The whole thing reeks of effort


But yeah the Raps won in 7 against a 7 seed with one of the best players in the NBA.

The Heat won in 7 against a 6 seed who played with out their best defenders ( MKG and Batum )

Neither team is some juggernaut right now

But the Raptors were so much better all year and just completely dominated the Heat this year so I think they win it in 6

I don't give a shyt what it looks like to you



raps looked like trash vs the pacers. end of story. and you keep saying the hornets without their best defenders. did you not see where the heat went 3-0 vs the hornets WITH batum?....or does that not matter to you. and yea the raps "dominated" the heat. one win without hassan, one without Wade and still went to overtime. let's ignore that though. like I said....I could care less if it's 4 games or 7. Heat will win and that's all that matters.

Heat looked like trash against the Hornets too
If it's 2016 and you need Wade and Deng to not be able to have sub par games to win, you're not a threat

It's anyone's series

dwyane wade had 12 pts in game 7 and the heat had their easiest victory of the series......you obviously haven't watched the heat much after the all star break. they have many guys who can take over.


i'm making my prediction based on the best heat team. Do I think they can really sweep the raps?....Of course. Do I think it will actually happen?....most likely not. but i'm basing this on the best heat team showing up every game. and if that happens, the raps won't get more than a single game. agree with it or not

It depends on whether or not Lowry was actually hurt or Hill just put him on timeout, if he's really hurt then they can't beat the Heat IMO. A large reason why they beat the Pacers is cause they owned the glass and got second chances to make up for how shytty Lowry and DeRozan were, they averaged 82 shots per game (Pacers averaged 74). If they don't kill the Heat on the boards and it's the same Lowry from round 1 it could be a quick series, you can't expect DeMar to carry them especially with Winslow on him and Whiteside in the paint to defend against his drives.

Lowry needs to play like it's a contract year, the Heat are really balanced offensively but if you can get Whiteside in foul trouble you can beat them, their defense would fall apart without him.

in other words...


healthy lowry= heat in 6

unhealthy lowry= heat in 4




I can dig that

The best heat team would include Bosh, who's not playing. So there's another post of yours to dismiss


I hope these old guys from Miami play better than you post...

Why heat fans comin in here so dam cocky?!

If memory serves me right they was doom and gloom from game 3-5 in the hornets series. A few of them sounded so defeated

no shyt dummy.....why would we include a player who's not active in this discussion?....you're not very bright. the best version of this ACTIVE heat squad beats the raps easily. keep cryin about it:DengUMAD:

Wasn't a comeback, it was a sincere statement, I'll throw some Smiley's in next time to help you out lil guy.

BTW, Wade averaged 16 4 and 4 against a team without MKG and an either injured or inactive Batum. I didn't realize it was that bad. I'd be shocked if he hits 15 ppg this series.

So you're definitely not getting this "best heat team" you made up

when the did the coli get so soft......can't even talk trash no more without people gettin sensitive. this is what we do. we talk trash, bullshyt, take our L's and keep it movin. I treat this just like I do real life with the homies. the coli just can't measure up with them sohh wars......bulls gotta get another contender. I hate em but at least their fan base is entertaining. maybe it's cause i'm used to posting in the ring so much. where we talk shyt 24/7 but at the end of the day it's all love. come in the coliseum and people really gettin over this stuff

time will tell.....i'm confident in my squad though. experience will be the difference

Can we change the title though?

weren't you talkin trash when the heat went down in game 6. then disappeared when they pulled it out

i simply said how embarrassing it would be if y'all lost to a team without its two best players. less trash talk and more speaking about the reality of the situation.

I don't care if it's a sweep or 7 games. as long as the heat win. and they will. raps are some frauds.

and how did you come to this conclusion? was it in the only Raptors games you watched where you saw them beat Miami three out of four times?

 

[((ReFleXioN)) EteRNaL]

was it in the only Raptors games you watched where you saw them beat Miami three out of four times?

and 2 out of those 3 games the heat didn't have wade or hassan. literally their 2 best players. but lets forget about that. but i'm more talking about the last series where the raps looked like pure trash. can't say the heat looked like trash outside of games 3 and 4. in all of their wins they looked like a powerhouse and even in 2 of the losses they had a chance to win. raps got blown out every single loss vs a 7 seed. the heat defense is just as good, but they have many more offensive weapons. at least 5 guys who can take over a game at any moment. more experience, and more importantly we have dwyane wade. I trust d wade in any clutch situation vs kyle lowry and demarcus derozan. lets not forget joe johnson either. Like i said. that deep playoff experience will be the difference in this series. the raptors horrible 3 pt defense could be what kills em. if joe, J rich, and deng can keep the touch, it could be a very short series.

And the Raptors weren't missing two of their starters either? But lets forget about that too.

The problem with this is, not only can you not go simply off one series, but the Pacers' style and personnel is almost the polar opposite of Miami's. Just because Toronto struggled in the same spots and siutations against Indiana, doesn't mean the same will apply against Miami. This is before we address the potential issues of the Raptors having first round jitters and inability to pace themselves for a series. There's absolutely no reason for you to suggest it's going to be a walkover, when y'all squad lost to a team without its two most important players, TWICE IN A ROW. The Heat become vulnerable and complacent when they face a team that shows more effort on both sides of the floor (which the Raptors have been renown for this season).

the heat defense is just as good, but they have many more offensive weapons. at least 5 guys who can take over a game at any moment. more experience, and more importantly we have dwyane wade.

And that may be so, however it's silly for you to suggest it's going to be a sweep, when that playoff experience - more so age will have an effect on their ability to beat this younger, hungrier (I use that term loosely) Raptors team, four times in a row.
