Nice win for the Raptors. This year will probably set a record for most first round road wins and best winning percentage for road teams in the first round. For the record, I am pretty sure Miami will beat either Brooklyn or Toronto.
There are quite a few teams that I think can beat the Heat: San Antonio Brooklyn Portland Oklahoma City Memphis All get GREAT play from their benches, something that Miami doesn't get. Durant and Westbrook combined for 30 points last night and Jackson steps up with 30+ points. Memphis gets constant play from their bench, and Portland is just on fire everywhere. I can't see Miami winning this year. I just can't. Too many power houses in the West. But of course, in Miami fashion, they draw the easiest opponent in the first round.
Brooklyn can beat Miami. They have what it takes, add in the fact that the Heat have a bad habit of laying down when they feel they are in control. The Nets would have to get the series in a position where they are up 3-2 with game 6 in Brooklyn. I dont think the Heat have as much room for error as they did previous seasons to, I felt like they were able to reach the next gear when they had to, I just dont see it with this group.
houston blew it golden opportunity for a 2 for 1 and harden dicking around with the ball for 10 seconds
hahahahaha, fouled shooting a 3 happened THREE times now in these playoffs end of game situation, team leading fouls a 3 point shooter with a 4+ point lead
Portland goes up 3-1 first home win of the series Matthews with a huge steal to seal it. they fouled Daniels, who hadn't been to the line at all in the playoffs, I believe. He knocked down all 3 free throws. Made it a one point game.
