The standing room only crowd were disappointed as they could boo Bosh and LBJ when Herbie Kuhn announced the Miami Heat players don't dressed for the game as as all 3 kings were not dressed for the game as they had locked up No. 2 seed in the East and will play the Sixers in the first round of the playoffs.
So you had the guy who plays with the Canadian basketball team Joel Anthony and the guy who for whatever reason feels he is too good to play the Canadian basketball team Jamaal Magloire had lead roles in this game along with the first ever 100 million dollar player Juwan Howard who did not get 100 mil because a Pat Riley blunder as he had Alonzo Morning signing his deal before Howard did and if Howard signed before Alonzo it would of been good but the NBA stepped and nixed the deal.
So to begin the game they had DeMar DeRozan take the mic and basically say " thank you for supporting the team this season and we will be better next season" and then there is Joey Dorsey who let his 20 (rebound) and 10 (points) game go to his head as he got a hair cut since the last game and it looks like there is an arrow in the back of his head.
Eddie House in the first quarter almost outscored the Raptors by himself as the Raptors scored 20 points and House scored 18 as the Heat led after 1 quarter 29-20 and the Raptors went 10 for 14 from the free throw line. The Miami Heat started the quarter 2 of 7 and ended the quarter 9 for 11 from the floor while the Raptors also started 2 of 7 but did not do as well the rest of the quarter and Jamaal Magloire had 5 boards in the quarter.
So the Heat started the second quarter on a 14-9 run but then the Raptors outscored the Heat 22-7 with help from Jerryd Bayless who had 10 points and 3 assists and James Johnson had 4 points and 2 assists and 2 boards while Ed Davis had 5 boards as the Raptors were only up a point 51-50 at halftime.
Third quarter the Heat outscored the Raptors 20-18 and took a 70-69 lead into the fourth quarter and the final quarter in the Raptors 2010-2011 season and Eddie House had 8 points in the quarter and Mike Bibby scored 5 points and DeMar DeRozan led the Raptors with 6 points.
The Fourth quarter the Raptors had already cleaned out their lockers and headed in their separate direction (not really that happens between 9 and 12 tomorrow yes that is what they are talking about on the radio broadcast tonight) as the Heat started on a 17-2 run to open the quarter and the Heat lead 87-71 led by Eddie House who had 9 points and the original 100 million dollar man Juwan Howard had 6 points of the Heat points during the run. Eastern Collegiate alumni Jamaal Magloire had 11 boards in the fourth quarter and the Raptors scored 10 points in the quarter and Juwan Howard scored 8 points in the quarter.
The Raptors have another 60 lose season and Jamaal Magloire had amazing fourth quarter with 5 points and 11 boards while Eddie House went off like he was a superstar with 35 points in the game and Mario Chalmers had 13 assists in the game and for the Raptors they had 28 second half points while Jerryd Bayless scored 19 points and DeMar DeRozan scored 16 points.
Thankfully the season is over and now lets hope for something positive in the off-season like a new coach, a great player in the draft or through free agency, and maybe a new GM to boot
