"We guarantee it," Blatche said after Friday's game. "We're gonna go there (Sunday), take care of business and go to Miami."
Blatche's guarantee wasn't welcomed by the Raptors.
"Who does he think he is?" Toronto guard Greivis Vasquez asked after the Raptors practiced Saturday. "He's not KG or Paul Pierce or Jason Kidd. We're not going to listen to his nonsense."

basically no one has faith in the raptors to pull this game 7 off.

Adande: Nets. Speaking of energy and urgency, the Raptors didn't bring any to their closeout game Friday night. It didn't dawn on them that they were really in the early stages of Game 7. Now it might be too late for them. The Nets have new life, and their veterans seem poised to strike.
Elhassan: Nets. $180 million might not buy you a championship, or even anything past a second-round knockout, but it might be enough to get you a Game 7 first-round victory. The collective experience of Brooklyn, along with the relative inexperience of Toronto, will be the margin of victory in another very, very close matchup.
Haberstroh: Raptors. This one is a coin flip on a neutral floor, but the Air Canada Centre is going to be roofless by the end of this one. If Kyle Lowry leads the Raptors to victory once again, can we just retroactively give him an All-Star spot? Adam Silver, make it happen.
Shelburne: Nets. I always opt for experience in a Game 7, and the Nets -- or the dinosaurs, as they're called in Toronto -- have that in spades. Kevin Garnett could retire after this season. It's no sure thing Paul Pierce will return, either. No, this is not how they go out just yet.
Strauss: Nets. I'm counting on Brooklyn's veterans to handle a road Game 7 better than the young Raptors handle a home Game 7. Perhaps this is outdated thinking, just like the notion that the Toronto Raptors can't possibly make a deep playoff run in our lifetimes.

then again, the experts were absolutely wrong about portland vs houston. but lets face it, portland have way better talent and deeper bench than we do. plus their couch can actually get the players to run plays.
