Nothing is easy with this team. Very entertaining game tonight and both teams really brought the effort.
Sums up the series.

God finally! But seriously, losing a huge lead in the 4th quarter like that doesn't bode well for us against Miami. It might be ugly for us!
Joe Johnson - aka Raptor Killah
No kidding. To give up 16 point lead in 4th quarter in game 7 tells you a lot about this team. I hate seeing this happening, but I think Miami will eat them for lunch. They just have too much play-off experience ... Raps are just too inexperienced and ity has shown way too often in the 1st round.
But I surely am glad for them to finally advance to the second round.
Easy guys, this is the playoffs, nothing is supposed to be easy - The Pacers played really well regardless of their 7th seat.
We need to think that they were able to win the series with their two best players playing like crap and we won both times when one of them was able to decently perform. Even The Big is playing like ****, that is 3 out of 5 but we can rely on the bench, we didn't have that last year at all.
Monkey is off their back, now let's see what happens - I call 4 - 3 for the Raptos

^^ agree completely. Indiana played as well as they could have.
After Miami it's another 7 game series against Cleveland and then another 7 game series against the Spurs

I see what you did there and I like it.

Yes, it is the playoffs and things don't come easy, BUT...The Raps played that fourth quarter trying not to lose instead of trying to win. I'm sure they were feeling the pressure of imploding and losing another 1st round series, and you clearly saw it in their play. But i'm sure that's a BIG pressure off their backs, and hopefully they can play like like how they're capable of.
I agree about the pressure... They kind of went up and down, big lead then the pacers caught up, then another big lead and the pacers caught up again and then a smaller lead before the end of the game, they lost a 10+ point lead I think 3 times and every time went down to 6 points and that last one to 3.
What about the rookie, I think the team is going to need to buy him dinner.

Powell is friggin awesome! And we picked him up in the 2nd round! I think the Raps should groom this guy for a bigger role in the team!
I had a good laugh at this (found it on reddit).
This perfectly describes the Raptors' performance against the pacers:

How many times has the Heat made it to the play offs?
How many titles do the Heat have?
The Raptors have 2 key guys they seem to rely on.
If either of them is not 100% then you are down to 1.5 guys.
Just sayin'
I hope they win of course but it just seems they are make it on a prayer instead of all out domination.
You are underestimating the Heat's play-off experience. Plus Wade is healthy I heard somewhere else ....
