    I think we can say Kyle Lowry is back. THAT was the Lowry Raptors fans saw all year long. Losing JV almost killed this team but luckily it looks like he could be back for Game 4 as he rolled his ankle and i'm sure if it doesn't flare up overnight they'll heavily tape it up for Monday.

    No matter what happens for either team this has been one helluva entertaining series.

      Yep - out with knee sprain.

      If JV is able to return to the series and Whiteside doesn't then it's going to be a tough one to come back, especially if Lowry is back...

      What is it with bigs and playing as if they're Kareem against Miami lol
      (e.g., Hibbert, Jefferson and now JV)

        I think a lot of it has to do with the Heat having no one other than Whiteside (who sometimes has issues) that are able to hang around in the post. The guys that are backing up Whiteside aren't true centers in the classic sense while JV is more of a classic post up player who WILL fight to establish position.

        I agree with you, if JV is able to come back and Whiteside isn't then it is going to be difficult. I'm also noticing that late in games some of the older guys on the Heat are looking a bit fatigued.

            Depends on how much Miami publicizes it

            If they start releasing stories in 2 weeks about how he's hanging out with Bosh and his doctor then you know

              Thoughts on this? Already know the league isn't crazy about it.

                I think it's disrespectful but I also don't think it's necessary to make into a roundtable which it inevitably will be.

                Silver just needs to say there will be fines and it'll stop.

                  That's disrespectful. If someone did that during the American national anthem people would flip out. Can't be doing that kinda stuff.

                      Wade is taking jumpers during the Canadian anthem.

                        Wade was still practicing his shots while everyone was in line for the Canadian national anthem. It's definitely disrespectful.

                            King_B_Mack hits the nail on the head. If someone did that during the US Anthem there'd be a firestorm for sure. It's pretty damn disrespectful and I have a feeling when they come back to Toronto Wade is going to get booed out of the building. That being said, it also shouldn't blown up to epic proportions. Silver needs to put the hammer down on Wade and it'll go away. A good stiff fine will suffice.
