Weird game...KL missed a ton of shots that are usually automatic for him. Tons of defensive breakdowns as well. Frankly, the Dinos looked tired.

On pins and needles for tonight...so many possible outcomes. If the C's can shut them down, the sky is the limit. Oh, and I hate Butler....Game of Zones did a great spoof on the kook a couple of weeks ago

Are you joking? Kawhi went 13/24. What more do you want the guy to do, shoot sixty percent? Danny Green meanwhile went 1 for 8. Oh but he had a plus minus of + 14 highest on the team. Raptors got killed on the boards.

Raptors got off to a slow start and they paid for it. Their bench hasn't been that great lately either like they were during the regular season.

I'm curious to see how many calls the greek freak gets tonight. A big part in that last game was Boston being able to defend him without getting into foul trouble.

Last night's game sucked, Other than Kawhi Leonard, the rest of the team was terruble. WTF?? Big booty Lowry didn't deliver. There was questionable reffing but that's not the reason the Raptors lost. :mad:

Right? Though not a new phenom, Kyrie went to the line 3 times last night....that's 3 times in the entire series. For some reason he is the only superstar with no protection in the paint; the guy never gets the calls when he's clearly fouled. Nonetheless, we had multiple opportunities. Semi looked good :lol:

We'll see...Monday is a MUST win to have a shot in this series. Good luck on your end!

Oh man, I just read that Pascal Siakam has a calf injury and is doubtful for tomorrow. If he's not playing, we are done for sure. I was really hoping that this year the Raptors history of choking in the finals would be an old story that didn't apply to the new Raptors team that was assembled this year. I bought into Masai Ujiri's speech at the beginning of the season about how the past is the past, this year's Raptors team is "all in", we should enjoy the now and not worry about what Kawhi Leonard will do after the season, and so on.. :waits: :banghead:

I'm still cutting Steph the tiniest bit of slack due to his dislocated finger, but that dunk attempt? :confused: :banghead: :lolol:

Klay has also been stinking up the place on offense. That dude needs to wake the hell up.

I'm not a silver lining type of person, but even with them playing so horrible they still had a chance to win it.

Better get the next one!

That's what I saw with you guys down double figures...the wheels had come off but it was only 3-4 possession dif...and you guys charged right back...honestly thought Kerr made bad calls (should have called a time out and two for one....Steph had that run through the middle where hou let him run through open and he choked the lay up....that was where pride killed him trying to dunk it late...

Raptors fans watching outside on the big screen at Scotia Bank arena today. I don't know if they show this on the US coverage or not. On a nice day, thousands show up.
