2015-16 Raptors and General NBA Thread

[jayswin]

I'm on Percocet for an injury if anyone's wondering why my posting's coming off TheScorpian-ish in this thread. Apologies.

[Johnny199r]

Will anyone decide to guard Paul George beyond the arc?

[jayswin]

Damn, the was the opposite of the finish we needed there. Unfortunately we'll likely chase the rest of the game now, but hopefully Lowry heats up after that three and changes the complexion of the game.

[Machiavelli]

Do they need a superstar? Starting to miss the Carter days.

[Senator Clay Davis]

They need heart. They need some balls. But when the tough gets going, this team cannot help but quit as quickly as possible. Hopefully next year when DeRozan and Casey are gone those things will come to the Raptors.

I want to punch the Pacers coach in the face.

[jayswin]

George just single handedly putting us away every single time we crawl back.

To be fair, Derozen has stepped up huge in this game.

[The Big Chill]

How is that not a charge?

[jayswin]

Wow, you can really feel this is the turning point that likely puts this one too far out of reach. A couple possessions we should have scored on and a couple easy possessions for the Pacers.

Could have been about 78-75, instead it's 82-73.

[The Big Chill]

Pacers getting the calls now too.

[savemedrzaius]

This is a joke. I don't even know where these fouls are being called. So many non calls against the Raps every little tap called in the Pacers favour.

[Machiavelli]

They can't make the long shot to save their life.

[Lil Pedro]

Unreal how bad the raptors are tonight

[Senator Clay Davis]

I'm sure we'll hear excuses about the 6pm start, but that's a pretty weak excuse. Game is the same time for both teams. Be interesting to see what we get in game 6, hopefully they at least leave it all out there, but sadly I think they'll go the final 3 games without leading a single second.

This happens every time. It's putting a further dagger in us now, but if the game was close you'd see the same calls go against the raptors and still keep us out of the game.

[jayswin]

Wow, brutal. They needed a finishing three there to have any hope in the fourth, and we went with the good old weak turnover instead.

[Machiavelli]

Regular season warriors

Hella disappointing

[The Big Chill]

We need Lowry to take over. Time for the best player to step up.

[jayswin]

Despite my pessimistic posting style, I'm really hoping Lowry or someone steps up and just had us within a couple points before we know it.

C'mon Raps!
