I'd love the Raps to close it out in Miami. It would settle us all down a whhhhhole lot.
OR we'd entertain even larger delusions of grandeur and unrealistic expectations

Heat-GAF I am hoping Wade would have one of his bad games, was this it? I know it doesn't seem bad but definitely not up to his standards. Is this the one that we all knew would come eventually?

He's old as fuck now and his knees are almost bone gristle. 20 pts isn't that bad. He could play worse. Remember that stinker that he had in the 2013 ECF against Indiana?

Yep. He could definitely play a lot worse. What I saw tonight was actually decent and pretty much what I expect from Wade and it was almost enough.

Heat GAF, agree: It'd be nice to see my team play without all these injuries.

Yeah at this point, it's a fight to see who gets the honor of getting swept by the Cavs. If we actually had a fighting chance in the ECF, I'd be more invested, but I'm pretty indifferent now.

Yea I'm at no fucks given mode.
I'm just happy we didn't self destruct when Bosh got another fucking blood clot.

Raptors and Thunder leading their respective series. 3-2
Who would have thought that?
I still expect both teams to lose.

Yes, but I also remember the next game. Dude had like 43 pts..
You guys are one vintage Joe Johnson performance from forcing a Game 7. It is entirely possible.

If he doesn't disintegrate into dust first
Same here. It's hard to give a damn when two of our centerpieces got knocked out by injuries.
Seeing them rebound from the Bosh news was nice but I'm already looking ahead. I think we got a decent core for the future if Whiteside stays.

That whole sequence was goddamn ridiculous. You can't even stop guarding Curry when he's flying out of bounds.

Bismack Biyombo is going to get like $12 million a year, isn't he?

Oh for sure. Dudes improvement in a single year has been like a quantum leap.

He does everything you wanted Hibbert to do.

Yup so this. And if not, the touch fouls the raps get called for on wade/Johnson will bail out the heat. I can't stand these silly "superstar" calls but what can you do?

Hibbert did exactly what I wanted Hibbert to do.

I don't understand why minus game 1 the warriors start out slow against the Blazers.

It's 2016 and Dwyane Wade still has that 2 foot forcefield around him. Jesus.

Because Curry is the Freeza of the NBA. "I haven't even transformed into my final form yet!"

Boredom.

Raptors will pay him, no doubt. Basically the team will tie up most of its cap (95%) with DD, Kyle, Jonas, Ross, Joseph, Carroll and biz, then build around. Not a bad east core.
Pretty sure biz takes an annual discount for long term years to stay with Masai and gets his minutes in Toronto. The lousy FT shooting somewhat nullifies his offensive rebounding prowess and lowers his value.

I want Bismack to stay. He's a great Backup Big man for Jonas. It's a Luxury I would like to have for a few more years. Just get rid of T Ross and James Johnson or maybe one of Bruno or Nogueira.

Yea I don't get it why he's such a problem for them.

Blazers role players definitely playing way above their expected output. This team really surprising with how hard they compete.

Its crazy Lillard didnt make the all star game this year. Literally insane.

Well I mean, when you got to compete against Curry, Westbrook, and CP3 for a spot, it's easy to see how you can get boxed out.
And yet Kobe is the reason he didn't make it.
