Not a big fan of the NBA, but have been following the Raptors a bit through this year and playoffs. They do seem like a team that finds ways to make it about not losing instead of going out and trying to win. See what happens today.
Heard on SN this morning:
Raptors are 0-13 during day games in their playoff history.
The Heat have never won a game on the road.
One of those two things will come to a grinding halt today.
Raptors are 4.5 point favorites

With a win today, Heat would become only team in NBA history to come back from 3-2 deficit 2x in same postseason.

Game 7, second round, end of the first...zero game posts. Wow, a new record lol.
Demar looking pretty good so far. Our rebounding has been pretty bad, but overall we're looking decent.
A three here and there would go a long ways.

Raptors defense better step up more. Johnson is having an easy time scoring against them. Ross seems to be playing much better but I am not confident he'll consistently better today but I am hoping I am wrong.

Liking the last few offensive drives by Toronto. Going to the net against a much smaller Heat lineup. Then when they get an open 3-pointer, they shot and made it. They are slowing down the game which is good. Keep it up.

Demar starting to seriously hurt the team again after a decent start. 50% on free throws, and missing everything at a crucial time in the game.
Gotta finish quarters off strong and we just never ever do it.

Derozan easy points are not dropping. This freaking Goran Dragic is so good. Need someone bigger and faster guarding this guy.

Yeah, so far a relatively good game from the Raps. DeRozan specifically is being aggressive to the basket which is what you want - not the midrange shots from him. Let's see how this team plays as a team down the second half.

Wow, Wade flops again and Biyombo got a foul. Come on ref this is getting ridiculous.

Im missing the game but following the score. How does biyombo look and all around defence in the paint. Dragic really torched the raps last game getting to the basket.

Yep. They are more discipline today and you don't see them complaining to the ref a lot and wondering how come there's no foul. Just play the game.
I think the Raps can beat the Heat playing conservative under the basket type of game. They are more bigger and you get the Heat's big guys tired. I am liking that Derozan is very aggressive going to the net, just unfortunate a few those easy baskets didn't go down. No need to try a 3-pointer unless they are open. Offense is playing better but defense need to tighten up a bit. We see Dragic, Wade and Johnson getting some easy baskets.

He's been quiet relative to his other games. No complaints though.

I don't see a foul on Lowry's 3-pointer.  Not complaining though.

Are people just not watching the game or not posting? Kind of odd.

Second half is the Biyombo show. Raps playing really well and also getting lucky with bad defence and shots by the Heat not going down. The Raps gotta be careful with their fouls now as Miami will definitely be more aggressive.
