Will You Trust The Raptors In Game 2?

[KRIT]

This team is so hard to trust. Do you trust them to bounce back in game 2? Usually a team dropping game 1 at home is a sure thing to bounce back in game 2, but Raptors aren't like most teams. Hard to trust a team that plays so much isolation ball and both their stars struggle to shoot above 40%.

[iloseagain]

heat are just better all around.. however, like you said, home teams rarely lose 2 in a row at home, especially if they are a favorite in the game and in the series

[KRIT]

fwiw they bounced back from game 1 loss and won game 2 vs Indiana. Last year after losing game 1 to Washington, they went on to get swept. Two years ago they bounced back and beat Brooklyn in game 2 after dropping game 1. In that game they covered but had to come from behind in the 4th quarter to do so.

So not exactly a sure thing they bounce back. Looks like a mixed bag to me.

yeah toronto is sketchy.. you can never really have full trust in them

Yeah no doubt Heat are the much better team. But anytime home team drops game 1, they play with a sense or urgency in game 2, and on the flipside Heat should let down a bit now that they stole one. Which one prevails? Better team theory or the situation (urgency/letdown).

Raps win this one

[t-wizzle]

I think they will win but it's hard to back them.

Raptors and trust in same setence ??
Even if they win, why would we back Raptors ? Just wait for other games

Thats degening 101. No way either side likes this game or the series lol. Whiteside and Wade with knee problems, lowry in a bad shooting slump/hurt elbow but you know scripts and shit lol

[Killer2121]

Just stay away from this one.

[redbull]

raptor will win this game. all in. ml. but not covered - 5

Sooo true.

[Seto]

The last time they lost in OT in game 1 they got swept.

Not that those 2 series really have much in common, I wouldn't be surprised if that happens here. They are just so badly overmatched, both from an individual and collective standpoint.

[Smoove]

No but they should win and probably will

[JayDr3am]

at some point live if you can get toronto at Pk'em you better take it!!

[KRIT]

This game is going similar to gm2 in the pacers series. Toronto came out hot and then gives most of the lead back.

[KRIT]

Lowry and Derozan 12/35. Just got me some raptors live pk at the end of the 3rd. Let's go!

[KRIT]

And a combined 3/8 from the ft line between those two.

[Git Lo]

Ugly game all around hence the low score

[KRIT]

Lowry really blows. Confidence is all gone, just bench his ass. Comes off screens with a clear path to the hoop and doesn't even look to score. At least when Derozan sucks he's being aggressive. Lowry just takes the cowards way out.

[Git Lo]

Not sure why he's passing on open lanes lol. This is one of those games both teams don't look back on this game

[KRIT]

Probably some of the worst defense on that Dragic 3 and then some of the worst offense on that last shot. Raps will probably choke in ot again.

[WASAAB]

Wow wtf was that shot, drive it in ffs

[KRIT]

I wonder what the game 3 line will be. Might be one of those series where we see a 8-10 point swing when we switch home court. Doubt we see Heat as a 2 point fave. Heat -4.5?

[NBA Maniac]

So Craptors ****** many guys right in the ass with -4.5 right ? lol

basically lol

Bump this shit from last year. We can keep it for next year when they lose game 1 at home again.

[gojetsgomoxies]

was going to start something like this but saw this thread.

toronto heavily favored in game 2........ toronto has been amazing bounceback team in general and game 2 bouncebacks by home teams were mentioned as very common.

but these are the playoffs, so not as confident in toronto's strong bounceback pattern.......

toronto's offense is fine for regular season but i think it has problems when defenses - refs too?? - tighten in playoffs. lowry got back into lineup very late in RS.

i think milwaukee has better players starting with greek. middleton out much of season. maker has come in and done well. so i think milwaukee has talent and momentum. note: middleton alot younger than KL and i think came back into lineup alot sooner.

lastly, toronto can bounceback win and NOT come close to covering........

Thread running three years in a row. It is a yearly bump for this garbage ass team. We trusting them tonight?
