Your post sums it up. Well done. -
Well, they won.
Somehow it doesn't feel much like success to me but once Round 2 starts I'll get over that.

Summed up my feelings exactly (although I already knew I'd feel that way the second it reached Game 7 after being blown out a few times).Mess wrote: View Post"My biggest concern as a coach is to not confuse winning with progress." - Steve Kerr

Here's where I'm at:
This series absolutely validated a lot of my concerns from the regular season.
I don't care, we won.
But now that I'm starting to look at the Miami series, those things need to be better and all indications are that they won't be.twitter.com/anthonysmdoyleComment

I'm hoping the Pacers and their defence were actually better suited to exposing the Raptors than the Heat will be.Barolt wrote: View Post"We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi LeonardComment

This series isn't about the offensive end of the floor for us. It's about the defensive end. This Heat team can score. We have to find a way to stop them.S.R. wrote: View Posttwitter.com/anthonysmdoyleComment

Ouch. It's Paul George's birthday today.
Regardless of us winning, he was phenomenal in this series. Best player on the floor.twitter.com/anthonysmdoyleComment

Charlotte did...it involved aggressively closing out on the three point lineBarolt wrote: View PostComment

Started watching this game with around 10m to go in the 4th. Thought I had jinxed them again by watching since the lead was shrinking and they went into turtle mode which I can't stand.
Glad they won but I think Miami is going to give them nightmares if this is how they handled the Pacers. I hope they loosen up after finally getting that first round fail monkey off their back. Hard for the NBA to not wish for a MIA Vs Lebron ECF so I will be watching the zebras extra close from beneath my tinfoil hat.Comment

I agree. The guy is amazing. If the Pacers can bring in another legit two way star watch out.Barolt wrote: View PostComment

Charlotte has a great defensive coach.OldSkoolCool wrote: View Post
If we end up trying to close out hard on the shooters, we'll end up in our scramble D in no time. Miami has little shooting. We need to contain dribble penetration because if Jonas/BB have to rotate to help a lot, Whiteside will feast on us. These guys have less speed and shooting on the perimeter than Indy, so I really hope we don't start scrambling.
Anyway, hopefully Carroll and Powell both show up to play, because I don't know who else will defend JJ and Wade for us.Comment

DeRozan non-call last 10 seconds
Maybe I'm naive, but when I look at the "should-have-been foul call" on DeRozan in the last few seconds, I see a guy who thinks a shot is going up and is boxing out. Am I totally out to lunch? If he was boxing out, do you still call that a foul?Comment

It was a foul. It was absolutely a foul. But it wasn't the only blown call in the series, so whatever.twitter.com/anthonysmdoyleComment

if this is the push on mahini, give it a rest. mahini is a giant. took a small push in the back, wah wah wah. fuck off. raptors fans saying demar should have been punished for that because they wanted it to be his fault we lost a series are petty. jv got hammered by mahini, turner and anyone else that went down low over and over again. going to bitch about a 2 guard pushing a 5. jesus. wah wah wahComment
