With drake on the sidelines it creates even more pressure because he's the biggest name in the hip hop community which is apart of the nba culture. The players on Toronto will play with a feeling of anxiety knowing that they can't lose and have to make shots. This will result in a lot of missed shots and turnovers while Miami is just going to be playing loose and the shots will go in more than torontos shots.
