NBA stuff - talk Raptors and other teams

[S.F.W.]

Why so long to bring the ball up court ? Killing us.

[S.F.W.]

That was intense.

Got the clock took forever.

Indy would've came back if they had 20 more seconds

probably. Some really strange decisions by Casey. In the last few minutes, as the Raptors are struggling to get into their sets, why is Joseph bringing up the ball ? Why leave JV in for so long, and not bring in Bizmack for D ?

Agreed with all your points. Seemed like they were just told to dribble the ball around and isoplay when shot clock wound down. Still, I'll run away with this win and HAPPY more basketball for this city. Been a good weekend for Toronto sports fans overall. Bring on the Heat!

Like I said - Not playoff contenders.

They buckled (have buckling) under pressure. OT was a fluke.

But ACC went BONKERS!!!!! LMFAOOOO

Now I gotta find out if the resort in Cuba will be showing game 3 and 4....

Didn't see but I kept getting alerts on my phone...then checked the score and was like...JR Smith being Ray Allen-esque?!? ahah. These playoffs, Cavs have been saved by their 3s even back against Detroit. They're coming together for sure.

For Cuba, try to see if bars have TNT. Memories Paraiso Azul I read somewhere has TNT and ESPN. Worst case scenario, you might be able to catch the game on AM radio, seeing how they're kinda close to each other.

Casey is a fantastic defensive coach but he doesn't seem to know right from left when it comes to offense. One would have hoped that the assistant coaches would have helped in that regard but no dice.

That's not to say it's all his fault but at the end of the day he's in charge and needs to make sure to keep his players' heads in the game. Making the right subs, calling effective and timely TOs, etc...the players also need to play smart. Move around, get open, don't needlessly dribble and then corner yourself into giving away the ball. Don't shoot bad shots, especially if you're not making them..the list goes on!

DeMar is a joke in the playoffs. I can't remember ever seeing one player choke so hard. He doesn't now (especially) and never did deserve a max contract and I'll lose all respect for the Raptors organization if they give it to him. I like DeMar, he seems like a nice guy but he sure isn't max contract material nor is he the kind of player to lead a team to a championship run.

KL hasn't been shooting remotely well but at least he's mostly been playing relatively well otherwise. JV is a beast. The bench and supporting players are playing as good as we could ever hope and are truly the only reason we've made it this far.

I've been a Raptors fan since the day the franchise came into existence but I'm not disillusioned enough to think we're going all the way. Can we beat Miami? Definitely. Will we? Not sure. But what I do know is we're not taking down Miami, then Cleveland, and then GSW or SAS. Not happening anytime soon.

Derozan = *sh!t emoji*

[genericmoniker]

Not sure how I feel about sitting JJ during the 4th. Physically, he'd be able to guard all 5 heat players (isn't he the same size as Haslem?) and athletic enough to alter shots more than CoJo (who was the only guy to rotate on time on that tying shot by DWade).

Don't think the solution is keeping Ross & DeRozan on the floor, especially when their shots aren't falling and one is injured.

[Aitch]

Casey said it's ride or die with Lowry and Derozan. Looks like it's die then. Which is annoying because Miami is so beatable.

Welcome to the 2nd round Raptors.

Keep those shoelaces on Derozan!

One more win to the King #wetherealKings

[FLIPDADY]

Intense atmosphere at the ACC last night. I was in the flight deck and the entire place was on it's feet.

I gotta say - watching the Raps while at an All-Inclusive Beach Resort in Cuba, is pretty bad ass!

We were calling him the Contra player - cause when he gets the ball - he fakes up up down down, left right left right.... LOL

AWESOME defensive - but panics offensively.

These refs are ridiculous

BLATANT

[ShibbyDibbyDoo]

Really impressive win by the Raps tonight.

[Cjcoolen]

Omg i thought they would flop again. They played really well.

[ecmirand]

DD carried us in the 4th when Cavs were hitting all their shots. Frye made some good shots. Surprised Casey didn't make the adjustments early to switch on defenders. Klow was clutch in the end. Imagine these, guys...2 wins away from Finals. We have more wins the GSW.

The pain still hurts....

Horrible loss

Just horrible.

I mean - I know they choke under pressure - but ....... Horrible

[Cjcoolen]

Home game tmrw man. Relax.

[taz4432]

I was at the game on Wednesday night...it was painful to watch in person but I know we have it in us to take Game 6, especially at home. I can tell you that the crowds really do make a huge difference cause Cleveland has a very lively crowd as well; not quite Toronto levels of madness but they are up there. Would be quite interesting if both CF series' went to a Game 7.

Can't wait for the game tonight!

Lol But then again Cavs don't have a great record on the road against the Raps (reg season and playoffs included) so hopefully we force Game 7 tonight. Go Raps!

Forcing a game 7 is nice and all - but Raps play like shit in Cleveland. And we all know how they play in a do or die situation :(

[Default User]

taz4432 - I really wish the game had gone better for you. That's (probably) a once in a lifetime opportunity to follow your home team on the road for a playoff game. Sucks they played the way they did for that. (But now you know how Leaf fans feel like LOL )

These refs though.....
