Sure, except you've said like 18 versions of "I just need to stop in and state how I hate this team" BS in Toronto threads recently. How about just kindly GTFO'ing? Does that work?

After seeing Lowry hit the back board on the game winning shot Leonard just backed out of his house purchase. If i never see Lowry in a Raps uniform again after this season i will be very happy!

Nah, the uninitiated just got a crash course in being a Raps fan within a single game.

Again, they needed to rush up the floor and start moving and penetrating to make a two. You can't do that when you waddle up with 15 seconds.

The final play was arguably more Leonard’s fault than anyone else

???  Leonard was double teamed as soon as the ball came to him. The fault is in wasting close to ten seconds just coming up the floor. I'll have to watch again for exact times, but no way you can fault Leonard for anything, imo.

Yup. Not sure what he was doing there. Hard to crap on a guy though when’s he’s the only reason you are in the finals.

More urgency needed on that final drive, or a timeout to draw up a plan, anything except waiting for a last second 3 attempt when you need one to tie, two for the win.
Bad decision making there. I agree with most here, drive hard, if you get a lane take the layup and make them foul you, or if not, at least you have time to kick it back out for a better look than that.

That's their MO though. Thats why they choked the 6 point lead. Killing clock down to 5-6 seconds you are forced to jack up 3s.
It's just crazy. Maybe if you had a double digit lead that might work.

It's a brutal loss simply from the 6 point lead with 3 minutes left and then the timeout situation, but they still played a poor game overall and had a good chance to close it out. They've shown enough resiliency in the playoffs to think they'll still be alright. Just keep the defensive intensity up the next game (or two) and they'll still win.

It wasn't the right shot but they didn't want to leave any time on the clock...I understand why they took their time to some extent

Like everyone else he was not aggressive enough. Took too much time to try to penetrate so by the time he kicked it...it was a panic play

Is it a common strategy to constantly drive the net then toss the ball to someone else just as you're under the net?
I don't notice the warriors doing it much, but it seems like the raptors are constantly making that same play.
Just overpassing in general maybe?

No one has mentioned the WIDE OPEN three Lowry missed in about a minute and a half earlier.
Dude had a great game up until the final two minutes and then just blew it.

Agreed, the whole play was wrong right from the start. I was just saying they surely could have came up with a better shot than that. And one with a higher % chance of going in.

Guys. There's another elite team on the other end of the floor. They played good defense.
