DeRozan is food against LeBron
Derozen and Lowry are due for a big series.
They should've won if they really used their size, but LeBron wanted to rely on his broken jumper.
They won't be "ok" without Valanciunas if Biyombo gets in foul trouble, this series he's going to have to contest Kyrie/LeBron at the rim while trying to keep Tristan and Love off the boards, that's a lot of pressure. The offensive rebounding could get really ugly for the Raptors, if Biyombo rotates over to stop a Kyrie/LeBron drive it leaves Patterson down low trying to keep Love & Tristan off the glass, so far they've crushed people on the boards, those two are averaging almost 10 offensive rebounds per game in the playoffs, they crushed the Pistons on the glass who are a better rebounding team than the Raps. Also, the fact he's not much of an offensive threat means they will probably play Frye and Love at center and pull him away from the rim at times.
The Cavs were only in that series because they dominated the boards, the Cavs lost that series because they didn't have shooting or any other offensive options other than LeBron. Their size is the main reason they won 2 games and played the Warriors fairly even for 5 of the 6 games.

Heat couldn't score. Didn't matter if they rolled out 12 7 footers,




However, size was the difference maker versus Heat not skill along with favorable refereeing. Since the calls were going Raptors' way all series long, they were able to play aggressive and loose while the Heat were timid and tight.
They were able to be more aggressive because nothing was getting called against them.The calls in game 7 specifically were due to the fact the Raptors were alot more aggressive....
Derozen and Lowry are due for a big series.
