Heat in 6

Heat in 6.

A few things that is going to be problematic for tge raptors

- With Lowry's Elbow and Derozan lack of shooting, Whiteside can fall back on the PnR/Pop. He's a poor screen defender, but since the raps lack shooting, Whiteside is going to be able to play significant minutes.

- Miami has more talent than Indiana. Deng-Wade-Dragic-Johnson can all hit shots and make plays.

- Miami has tge perfect kineup to counter patterson at the 4.

I see another series where torontos offense is going to stagnate.

Miami has too much depth. Heat in 5 games.

Considering Paul George had his way, Deng/Wade/JJ are going to feast against DeFrozen b/c Carroll/Powell can only guard two guys.

Toronto looked awful against Indy, but I guess you could make the same argument for MIA against CHA...although the Hornets were one of the hottest teams coming into the playoffs...

Heat in 6.We've sucked on the road for a while so there's that. It'll be nice not to be a victim of Lin's FT parade anymore. You have to figure the league wants CLE v MIA in the ECF.

I think they'd be just as fine with a CLE-TOR ECF, so expect DeScruban to get his 20 freebies a game.

I'll take the Raptors tbh

[Arcadian]

Don't care enough to make a prediction. Pointless series

[Seventyniner]

I'll go with Heat in 6 too.

[DPG21920]

Lebron is owning them. Per the usual. Horford has to find some damn offense this series if they want to be compe ive. Can't survive him not scoring again.

[100%duncan]

Give me Lebron vs Wade ECF.

[Big Dog]

No one gives a about this series except those toothless Canadians up in the north.

[HarlemHeat37]

I don't trust the Raptors, but mainstream media and fans heavily riding the Heat makes me skeptical about them

I'd better not see your ass in this thread again then
