Doesn't really matter who they play if this team doesn't pull their heads out of their ass

 

Can't even rule out a Pacers comeback.

you guys are all the worst lol

LET'S GO CRAPTORS!

For sure, but less so than Miami

 

Neither of those teams look impressive. Not sure why everyone thinks they will destroy us. If anything I think we will have more success, there is no one player on either of those teams that can consistently take over games like Paul George

I don't know, the Pacers supporting cast around George is really bad. Even as good as George is, I don't think you could expect him to put up a very effecient 40 points 3 games in a row.

It's not my expectation but I can't rule it out.

i feel like we could beat charlotte easier than miami. miami has been here a thousand time already so they wont blow it, they wont make mistakes, and they have some nice depth so even if u shut down a guy like wade others can step up easily. charlotte is a relative newcomer so they will be more prone to mistakes. plus i feel like if u can shut down kemba (tall order i know) then its not as easy for the rest to step up. they both play very nice defense though. night and day compared to indiana anyways.

 

i like our chances next round if we can pull off this win in game 6 though. winning a clinching game in a hostile environment like that would be a nice stepping stone.

No one like George, but Kemba and Wade can both cause plenty of havoc.

I think people don't give Charlotte any respect because of how bad they are were in the past and the same reason why they're giving Miami too much respect. Without Bosh Miami just isn't that good. Charlotte on the other hand is a pretty good team but the Raptors playing to their potential should still be able to beat them. All depends on Lowry.

Wade is washed up guys. Charlotte is a tougher match-up considering bosh is out IMO.

Iowry is hurt so we're screwed.

[Orgfiller]

Well...this is a good start.

[John_Havok]

Get derozan off the floor. Now

[Orgfiller]

Corey Joseph was made for big games.

[jays_fever]

They're being much more aggressive and physical from what I can see. They're probably fouling on every play but it looks like they're adjusting to playoff ball

[RealAccountant]

Horrible Shot Selection by the raps.

[jays_fever]

This series would have been over by now if DeRozan just went away

[KingKat]

Derozan running off the clock is just comical at this point.

[John_Havok]

When are they gonna learn Demar shouldn't carrying the ball.... ever.... let alone the last psession of a half. It's a turnover every time when he inevitably loses the dribble

[John_Havok]

Right? Yet they do it every time since they think he will get fouled and get two at the line.

[dineke]

raptors sweep the pacers if derozan wasn't on the team

[jays_fever]

The worse he plays, the more he plays lol

[Hal Johnson]

My god, the Raptors are annoying...

[GD]

This is hilarious

[jays_fever]

DeRozan garbage, Ross cant even catch a pass.

 

There's 3 players actually doing anything

[Hal Johnson]

Like seriously, how can you choke so badly after such an emotional victory??

[GD]

I'm enjoying this just a little

[dineke]

casey and demar gone if they lose this series... blessing in disguise

[dineke]

I'm enjoying this just a little

 

im loving this

[KingKat]

Every year it's the same old story. Team has great depth but the front line talent is a let down.
