2017-18 Toronto Raptors and General NBA Thread

[TheAlpineOracle]

What the #### am I watching? Cleveland isn’t even playing well and and Toronto is down 12 already.

Raptors have been embarrasing but this series has not been called the same for both teams.

This game the reffing is ridiculous. Green literally just shoved Lowry right in front of the officials during stoppage and nothing was done.

The foul on Derozan on love was ridiculous as well, just two guys fighting for position. You cannot blame the raptors woes on the reffing but there is a different standard for both teams.

Like how the #### was that a foul on Valanciunas?

[TheAlpineOracle]

Kevin Love is throwing illegal picks and screens on every offensive possession.

Just get Lowry and Derozan off. They are terrible

Yup, we were within 1 and these bums get back on the floor and we are back down 7.

[Beninho]

Ibaka, Derozan, and Lowry on the floor is just not going to work. But keep using them together Casey

####ing ridicuous honestly

[TheAlpineOracle]

11-0 run with these losers back in the floor. Enough is enough. Time for both to go and Casey to lose his job.

[Beninho]

Derozan has completely abandoned his mid range shooting. This is what makes him good and he’s flat out not getting to his spots and shooting the ball. Bad by him but also by the coaches. He keeps driving to the rim and looking fouls or passing it off.

[Beninho]

Insane just insane how the cavs argue and the call is overturned. I’m done, this #### is so ####ing rigged. That #### would never happen to the raptors. Just so ####ed this league is.

[TheAlpineOracle]

I’m done for the year. Hockey game it is.

[Machiavelli]

NBA playoffs are a complete joke.

[Beninho]

Love clearly hooks and pulls siakam. These refs are atrocious

[jayswin]

Regardless of how the Raptors have played they were likely going to lose this series anyways, and the refs are proving it. This is why there isn't much point in investing in the NBA unless you're a fan of a super team.

I get it, they played like ****, but in all honesty with the LeBron storyline the Raptors would have had to play 1.5-2 times better than the Cavs to win the series accounting for the calls.

The NBA is theatre.

[jayswin]

As much as I appreciate theAlpineOracle's passion and desire to build a good team, it almost feels a little foolish doesn't it? I know I stopped caring when I realized getting upset and hoping for better results in the NBA is like yelling at a movie for a character to do something different for a better outcome.

[TheAlpineOracle]

It sucked me back in when I saw they closed it to 6. That was clearly a mistake on my part.

[Samonadreau]

Do or die here.

[Samonadreau]

And that's her. Shegone.

[TheAlpineOracle]

Wow. LeBron just walked into the huddle of the Raptors during the timeout. Ref tells
Him to leaves and he laughs and says “this is my house”.
