More often than not, when we reach the late stages of a seven-game series, we have all our analysis and storylines figured out. With rotations ironed out, strengths and flaws scouted to death, and necessary adjustments made, a series between two teams usually comes down to making or missing shots.
Not so with the Miami Heat and Toronto Raptors. This series, like the one the Raptors played before it, has flew in the face of predictability and continues to morph as we head into Game 7. The biggest reason behind this? Injuries to Jonas Valanciunas and Hassan Whiteside, which have changed this series permanently and fundamentally.
