The reason the Heat play off JV on the pick-and-roll is because they know he won't receive the ball and all Lowry and DD are trying to do is find space for their shot so they get over-crowded.

JV is actually a really good mover off the screen not only towards the rim but if he pops out a little to about 15 feet he can nail that jumper and Whiteside doesn't like defending outside the paint.

Or potentially if Lowry and DeRozan move forward off the screen they'll draw the big. Back it out and get the ball to JV on the inside with the little guard on him and let him exploit the mismatch.

Really simple basketball plays and the Raptors cannot even execute those properly.

I don't think we'll get a 50% performance from either, hell at this stage I'd settle for 40%.

That's all they need to do to. Passed up a bunch of chances to do it last night. I understand they are worried about JV turning it over but he's done enough to deserve a crack at this.

The worst part about this is whether the Raptors win or lose, Casey will be back next year. Therefore nothing changes and this team will be stagnant for years to come.

JV turned 24 today. We have a top 10 pick coming in this draft. Haters have been spewing this shyt for the last 3 seasons yet the Raps keep making progress. Suck a dikk.

What progress is that? Scraping by the 7th seed? You are delusional if you think this team is going anywhere in the future considering how we can't get over the Cavs.

2014 - Franchise record 48 wins, ppl hate on the Raps re-signing Lowry sayin it'll stagnate the team and they should tank.

2015 - Franchise record 49 wins, swept in first round, ppl want everyone fired/traded, claiming there's nowhere to go but down. Masai makes some changes but doesn't "blow it up". Geniuses like you think tanking was a better idea.

2016 - Franchise record 56 wins, get to the 2nd round with a top-10 pick coming and a young star emerging, still have ignorant yapping going on about the team "stagnating".

This team is on the rise. Any other perspective is not based in reality.

I like that the Raptors are winning and happy to see them finally reaching the second round but in the grand scheme of things this is fruitless. What I was hoping was that the Pacers blew us out. We fired Casey and hired Vogel to be the head coach. Vogel would shape up this team to be a threat. Instead we get Casey who has been a mess this season with his coaching style. This team reminds me of the Hawks from 2008 to 2011 who were good enough to get to the second round and nothing else. Stop looking at the regular season as anything worthwhile and focus on the real importance which is building you a team that can compete for a chip.

I'm not one of the guys that said it would be a sweep, I said Heat in 6. But don't act like Toronto is the only one playing poorly. The Heat haven't played well in either game really. They're turning the ball over like crazy and missing a bunch of bunnies in the paint. Add onto that Hassan played probably his worst game in months last night and got abused by Jonas (who I think is Toronto's best player)

Reminds me of the hawks from 2007 to 2010. :francis:

:heh:I must have missed every single Heat game that has convinced people that this team is a threat. Every time I watch them, they're trash as fukk offensively and blowing leads (like the 26 point comeback by my C's :jawalrus:). This team is not fukking with Cleveland at all, and that's if they even get past this round.


not a fan of either team and i still think miami easily win this series but seeing their fans so confident for the cavs this postseason has had me like :mjlol:


cavs in 5 easily

Casey is a joke of a head coach. Allright tie game ten seconds left, Kyle dribble up the court slowly and Jack a fade away thirty feet three pointer with a guys hand in your face
I couldn't believe that happened after a time out.

The 2010 Hawks didn't have a top 10 draft pick coming their way.

The 8-10 picks in the 2010 NBA Draft were Al-Farouq Aminu, Gordon Hayward and Paul George.
