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

[MikelArteta]

I wonder how much better he would be if he was surrounded by guys who could actually shoot the 3 consistently

or if he played 32-34 mpg and took 17 shots a game he'd be a 23/12 player in my mind. I remeber when jonas was so slow like he was walking in concrete now dude is going up and down the court getting rebounds on the offensive and defensive side when he wants he can shoot that 17 foot shot, he can shoot free throws, he can post up, he can put the ball on the court, hes not afraid of contact

thank you colangelo

Kyle Lowry is back

JV rolled on Miami in the first half, Lowry rolled on them in the second. Wade and the refs put up a valiant fight but when Lowry is playing like that the Raptors are very tough to beat.

Win Game 4 and the series is in a chokehold. Lose and it's a very dangerous best of 3. They should have a healthy enough fear of this team and Wade in particular to come out strong on Monday.

@labelplant that Cleveland game came one night after Jimmy Butler dropped 40 in a half on us at the ACC and DeMarre Carroll didn't play again until the end of the season.

 

[Guess Who]

For real though....JV has really came in to his own the post season. His confidence, his effort, his efficiency...everything. This dude is doing whatever he wants.

He's turning Demar into a third option, which is what he should be.

A functioning Lowry would make the Raps more of a problem for the Cavs than the Heat would. Not saying they'd beat them but that matchup would be the best in terms of competitiveness.

Heat have been playing like shyt for the past 3 games...Toronto has been playing good defense.

I sense an adjustment coming next game though...

 

[<<TheStandard>>]

This really changes things.

Really a toss up at this point.

Heat in 6

Whiteside is likely out for the rest of the series too. Raptors still have Biyombo - who exactly do the Heat have to replace Hassan?

 

[KRiLL (+)]

now if the Heat lose to the Raptors without JV, they're truly hot garbage...

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Double.

Derozan gets to take an extra 5-10 contested mid range jumpers now. Wonderful
