Total Steal of a game!! I can't flipping believe it. We held them to 9 points for the whole 4th quarter and stole this game!! OMFG .... Wow! I'm stunned... This one will go down in history for ever. Glad I'm not a Pacer fan cause I'd be shitting a brick right now!!??!!
^ Yeah .... Exactly!!
Funny thing is after 6 games and 24 quarters the series is tied at 3 games a piece ... But in reality the Raps were only dominant in 9 of those quarters. In the rest they were either breaking even or getting their asses kicked. That doesn't bode well for us in game 7 I'm afraid.
Now the bigger problem is, (and it hurts like hell to admit it) even if we do win game 7 every single team out there knows exactly how to shut us down... Lowry is injured and can't do it on his own, shut down Derozan and only under absolutely perfect circumstances will the rest of the team be able to beat you. Do it consistently yourself and you'll walk over the Raptors to the next round���� ��

As true as this may be, I simply don't care. As sad as this is to say about a number 2 seed, I just want the Raptors to win a damn series. The rest can be dealt with later. Just don't lose again in the first round as a top seed.
I think the fact that we won't be starting Scola in the Heat series will make us a lot better out the gate. Carroll is also improving with every game and he will be crucial in stopping Joe Johnson(who always kills us). I would like to see more of Powell as he might be our best defender for Wade.
I'm impressed. Didn't think this team had it in them but they finally closed the series. Pacers is not an easy out as they have PG and turner, two of the most valuable players in this series. When Turner matures a bit more he's going to be quite the formidable force.
Turner was incredible. Every time the Pacers run the pick and pop with him he's money from 18-20 feet. It's a matter of time before he can shoot 3s and he'll likely shoot it at a good percentage (he has great shooting form).
This is going to be a fun one. We have fans that stand outside the arena cheering for the team. The only time Heat fans are standing outside cheering is when their team mounts an unexpected comeback after most of their fans have left the arena.
I'll be putting up a thread later today, in time for the first game.
