No wrap up for the Nuggets game you say? Carmelo's last minute shot drove me into a pit of despair and sadness that only painkillers, a goat, and a two day liquor bender could salve. Eventually I woke up Sunday morning laying in front of the ACC with only one shoe on, a large stain looking suspiciously like dried blood on my left leg, and no wounds to explain it. I realized that time heals all wounds. (Except for emotionally inflicted ones by NBA basketball players... I'll never forgive you Vince Carter... never) Carmelo's shot happened, but after 44 minutes of well played aggressive basketball. If the Raps had managed to not turn the ball over so much, their massive rebounding edge would have allowed for them to blow that one out instead of playing such a close game. Take that aggression into tonight and things will go well.
The Heat are rather similar to the Raptors. They have a star eligible for free agency. They surround him with aging talent that really isn't all that talented. The difference is Miami beach is full of warmth, Clubs, and fake tits. It's a perfect NBA destination. Hopefully last night the Raptors didn't partake of these extravagances too much, and are ready to go tonight. The sad news for Toronto is Jermaine O'Neal being questionable for tonight's game with the fact that he's still alive. With 1 of his 2 knees legally dead, the other one is putting up a fight, but eventually, it's going to lose it's battle with the grim reaper, and the legacy of JO will fade into the distance. If JO was healthy, we could look forward to a healthy display of low percentage jump shots and grimaces.
As it is, we will just have to hope for the best. Tonight and the next game against Charlotte will show if Toronto wants to make the playoffs, or would rather be watching the first round from at home.
Prediction: Miami 97 Toronto 92
