Or maybe they'll implode in the playoffs!?!? If so...I want Raptors to face them more than ever!

I still have them winning it all but breaking down this close to postseason time is definitely worrisome.

Apparently after the game in the Heat lockerroom it was eerily silent. Bosh said that they suck right now and Lebron was said to be incredibly pissed off and was the first to leave the locker room.

Hopefully this makes them angry enough to beat indiana Wednesday

I just want to fast forward to that Eastern Conference final already

Didn't realize the Heat's record was this bad for March. Under .500, yikes.

I guess people too busy worried about the Pacers.

Looks like they're both struggling.

At least with the Heat you can give them the benefit of the doubt and say they'll get it together. They haven't been slumping as long as Indy has either. This stretch by Indy goes all the way back to late January if you really want to be critical. That's when they were "exposed" by PHX twice in a week. Before that Chicago game on Friday the last time Indy beat a playoff team was Feb 7th(Portland).

Indy's been slumping since January? Yet they still have the best record in the conference.

Every team has their question marks. One can be critical of any contender but I'd hope they'd keep things in perspective too.

So Indiana has only beaten two playoff teams since Feb 7th? Wow that's pretty bad. If Miami hadn't been so bad lately they might have lost the one seed.

They have the best record still thanks to that hot start that gave them a nice cushion over Miami where a few losses wasn't going to hurt much. And now Miami is losing just as much as them.

And yes, since that 1st game against PHX in late January the Pacers are 18-12. Not that good for a team that was 33-7 before that.

It's been awhile since this team played a great stretch of ball. Playoffs are fast approaching, hopefully they can kick it into high gear when needed. We slumped into the playoffs last year too so we'll see.

Re: 3/18 - 3/24 Games Discussion Thread

Raptors got so lucky with that win today. They seriously can't play like this in the playoffs. If they play like this in the playoffs, they won't even make it past 1st round for sure,regardless who they face.


Their schedule later this week is confusing. They play on Tuesday AND Wednesday, then play again Friday against same team they face Wednesday....

Couldn't they just have the back to back be the home and home games or something? Raptors play 4 games in 6 nights,Celtics play just 2 games all week(both against Raptors). A normal season this would be horrible schedule, but hopefully Celtics want to tank even further and make these games easy on a Raptors team who seem to be running out of energy at times.

The last part in your post is key.

Re: 3/18 - 3/24 Games Discussion Thread

lol, if playoffs began today, Heat would face Bobcats in first round with possibility of facing Raptors in 2nd round.

Biggest USA media coverage team in NBA right now vs 2 of the least covered teams by USA media lol.

If I'm NBA, I'd actually like those matchups, making Bobcats and possibly Raptors playoff games that much more watched because of who they're facing. Raptors-Bobcats matchup would've been probably least watched playoff series in USA ever.

Re: 3/18 - 3/24 Games Discussion Thread

You sure do care a lot about how much coverage a Canadian team gets from the US Media, lol.

As long as the Nets get Toronto in the first round, with or without home court, that's all that matters to me right now. I want to end this little "Cinderella" run they're on like we did the last time Kidd was a member of the Nets.

Because it's such a rare thing for Raptors in the past decade to have. All an average NBA player can tell you about the Raptors is Carter,McGrady and Bosh stuff and that's it. The more exposure Raptors can get in USA, the better it might be for them in terms of attracting players to play for them, cause it always seems like if they ever try to get some player, they need to educate them so much on the city and franchise history, though if a city like Miami,New York,Philly or something wanted to get someone, the player knows all about their history and stuff already.

I'm sure nobody wants to meet the Nets in the first round. Especially Miami or Indy.
