What a game. Biz, DD, Kyle were great. Shouldn't really have been that close given a 20 point lead, but a win's a win. Those horrendous pro-Wade calls and some whiny US media make this even sweeter. Finish the job on Friday!

What a game by Bismack Biyombo. He was the difference maker on the defensive end. That alley oop, block on wade, dunk sequence was the best thing I've seen.

You can't beat the Heat by 20. They are a well coached team and they got Wade, Joe Johnson, and Deng. Veteran presence goes a long way in the league.

When Tony Brothers called that phantom foul for Wade I was absolutely gonna snap

He made it a 1 point game at that point and who knows what could have happened. Lowry hit 2 HUGE shots at the end. Finally he delivers

It is so hilarious reading your opinion about Dragic and opinion on Slovenian sport sites. They think that refs don't blow a whistle for fouls on Dragic, and you think he is the dirtiest player in the game. And I have to agree with you, he gets mad and starts playing dirty, when he is pissed that refs are not giving him fouls that are done on him.

And good for Raps to win, I wish them Conference finals. But I doubt they have much chance in there, especially now that JV is missing, he would be only advantage for Raps.

If we don't have Carroll on defence for game 6 I think we might lose a tight one. Then take it in 7 imo. Don't think they can handle us at the ACC.

the goal was to get to the Conference Finals and they're 1 win away. Whatever else happens is just gravy. Can't think of one person putting the Raptors into the NBA Finals. If we win on Friday or Sunday this will be a successful season. Especially with JV missing the last 3 games. If you would've told me at the beginning of the year that the Raptors would win 56 games and get to the Conference Finals you bet I would've taken that.

Tough to beat the refs and the Heat but the Raptors held strong last night. Get it done in Game 6!

I think the main thing is he tried to initiate contact when he drives and the refs just aren't calling that for anyone (outside of Wade). I really don't like seeing the elbow and fist swings - that's completely unnecessary.

Yeah it's hard to argue with that, it's all true but I'm still feeling unfulfilled, maybe my standards are too high? Winning is great. But the way we're winning/playing is still embarrassing at times.

Live by the jumpshot, die by the jumpshot. They were falling last night, great. Can't miss 'em all I guess. Still not impressed with DD, love Biyombo though. :yo:

No matter what happens at least we got this sequence.


Yeah, that was special.

I'm still waiting for our entire team to show up in the same game in these playoffs though. Last night, Demar, Kyle, and Biz made the difference but our bench got destroyed by their reserves, which is inexcusable.

Even with our injuries, if we could just get one solid game throughout the lineup I think we beat Miami with ease.

If we advance, we will have to be firing on all cylinders against Cleveland just to keep it close.

Any word on Carroll's injury? Really hope the guy isn't out long .. we need him to guard Wade and ESPECIALLY to guard Lebron
