I was wondering how long would it take you to come around here to **** on the Raptors after a bad game
oh, you were talking to yourself in advance...future talking, very cool
I can't watch the game tonight - GO RAPS!
I am really surprised that they won ... I guess to predict what KL and DD will show up is impossible. BB clearly over delivered at times, but to me the biggest difference was not really Toronto (to me they still fundamentally looked like the same team we have seen in the play-offs so far). But rather very poorly playing Miami ... 6mins to go and DW on the bench??? I mean, they looked bad and even the poorly officiating refs could not help them.
But the story was repeated again .... at the end of the game, everyone was ******** bricks, worrying about the result .... they just simply cannot finish-off opponents, like some of the other teams in the league can, even though they have not won as many games in regular season.
Watching a bit of the GS game afterwards, was like a totally different ball game. I guess I cannot warm up to these Raptors.

I'm glad to see the guards finally played well! Still gut-wrenching to lose the lead like that. Again, we can't afford to have lapses like that! Especially at the end of the 1st half where we were up 20, then suddenly Miami goes on a 10-0 run to finish it off! We need to be able to finish off teams!
It's difficult to have a faith in something which one day is there and another day it is not ... that sort of faith very quickly fades away ... unless of course you are a hardcore fan, which I will admit never be.
The problem is that everyone is measuring the result by KL and DD performance or lack there of, what about the rest of the team, BB, 3R etc?
We won the game without 2 of 5 starters, including DD that had to leave for a while due to his thumb.
I watched 5 min of the Golden State Game and they were trailing the other team...... I guess they also suck
Again, this is the Semifinal, it isn't supposed to be easy.

I am not surprised. Play off games are weird, some marginal players step up big time and some all Stars choke
Some have big expectations weighing heavily on them ND some can just play and have fun.

Hats off to OKC. I didn't think they'd bounce back after that first game drubbing. This OKC/GSW series is gonna epic!
Sorry Raps, but this is what I am watching, regardless game 6 or 7 result.
I am not surprised at all. Duncan, Genobli, Parker .... ton of experience, but these guys must be tired. They played well, but you watch RW and KD running circles around them for 48mins, the old boys are ready to go, I think ....

You are right, GS was behind, but the way they can score, you never worry about them being down by 10pts. With Raps you worry when they are up by 15 or 20 .... I enjoy watching GS, even though they take a lot of chances, but it's really entertaining basketball. And they are always ready to score ... not by one guy, but by another 2 or 3 guys. They don't labor for points .... OKC, the same thing.
So you are not a fan of your own city's team is what you are saying?
That's fine, not everyone is. No freaking way I would miss a raptors game 6 for a GS game, I don't care if Curry is making shots blindfolded .
Maybe during the regular season I would watch one but their schedules never really conflicted.
Agreed.
