For the first time in Raptors history, they have made it to the EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS!!! WOOOOO!!! After 21 years of hard-work and dedication, our team has finally made it this far. Looks like the Heat wasn't too hot against the ferocious Raptors.
Just like the last series, our team was forced to play a total of 7 games to advance to the next round. It wasn't easy since we were matched up against the Miami Heat. The player that gave us a difficult time winning against the Heat was none other than Dwayne Wade. (Dude below)

This shooting guard all-star is another player I respect and love as a professional basketball player and entertainer. I love how Dwayne Wade can make shots off of creating space and can take it strong to the rim. But with those qualities, he also made me despise him during the series. During the 2016 playoffs, he averaged 21.4 points per game, 0.9 blocks per game, 4.3 assists per game and 5.6 rebounds per game. Great stats coming off of a great player. However, with the loss of Whiteside and since Bosh couldn't play the entire series, Wade couldn't carry the team on his back against the Raptors.
Even though they lost two of their key players during the series, they still put up a fight because of their resiliency. Miami showcased their skills and made us pay in some games. I have nothing but praise for this team for making our team play a really hard ball game against the Heat. It's unfortunate that Wade wasn't able to fight against LeBron James (his former teammate). What is fortunate is that our team was able to advance in the finals! I'm grateful for everything they have done as a team and for making their fans proud. Here's hoping to another securing another series against the Cavaliers.
