The Miami Heat might face the young Raptors in the first round of the playoffs. With that in mind, Dwayne Wade is still out, for the Heat and for the Raps, its top pick Andrea Bargnani and Jorge Garbajosa is also sidelined as of the moment.
It will be a Shaq-led Miami Heat and a Bosh-led Raptors.
Will the Toronto Raptors conclude their great season with a good playoff run and beat the Heat?
or
Will Shaq prove his dominance, carry the team on his back in Wade's absence and defend their NBA title?

Toronto will need to practice hard, because the Heat were 13-7 without D-Wade. I know that's not great, but if a team can manage the absence of a player of his caliber and still win, that's incredible. I like T.J. Ford, so I guess I'll be rooting for the Raptors. But it's gonna be really tough when D-Wade gets back into action. Chris Bosh is the heart of that team, so he can't choke at all (which he does very little of anyway). If this match-up lives up to its hype, this could be one of the best games in the East all year!!!

Miami wins for 3 reasons: defense, experience, Shaq.
I love Chris Bosh, but 30 minutes with Shaq on his back, and 18 with Zo on him is too much to ask. The Heat are built for playoff success. Wade will be back. Toronto is painfully deficient on defense. Toronto's players have very little playoff experience. This year will be an eye opener for them.

I actually think that Raptors would win that series in 7, I just keep waiting for The Heat and Shaq to burnout, they desperately need Wade...If it was one game I would choose the Heat, but Ill take Raptors to upset the Heat in the Series

I hope Raptors beat the Heat this Tuesday. I can't say for sure that the Raptors will win but that is my prediction. It's a tough call. It could go either way with injuries on both teams.
Raptors are on fire, but Shaq is bringing it too.

Coming from a Raptors fan I say its a tough one . Bargnani will be most likely back be then but I guess we just have to wait and see. But I hope we kick some Miami @$$.
