That's actually been the plan for the entire series for the Raptors. They just have a bunch of low IQ players like DeRozan, Ibaka, JV and Miles who have no idea how to play defense and lose their men routinely. [Reply]

The idiot coach benched all their good defensive players (Wright, Poeltl, Siakam) for most of this series. Other than the end of game 3 when the Raptors went on that run and played their best basketball of the series, he's stuck with the great DeRozan. [Reply]
They were done after Demar choked game 1 away when LeBron wasn't even trying. Can't beat a team/player if you don't even have the belief to win that game. [Reply]

Add Lowery to that after losing Love on the back door. I think the Raptors have quit [Reply]
Who would have thought that putting players in a position of strength would lead them to success? No one could have thought Love would do better as a versatile post up player rather than a spot up shooter. No one at all. Posted via Mobile Device [Reply]

Lowry is actually a good defender normally, but he's given up. No idea why they aren't playing the young guys right now, they're the ones who actually carried the team this year anyway. [Reply]
But a Wade led Heat squad beat a Nowitski centered Mavs team. Fast forward to 2011. A Lebron led Heat squad were embarrassed by a Nowitski centered Mavs team.
