2015-16 Raptors and General NBA Thread

5 guys on the perimeter. Good lord. This is like watching a house league team play a team with structured d.

[The Big Chill]

Holy crap Casey, why is Biyombo on the bench? We can't rebound.

[Senator Clay Davis]

It is pretty miraculous without JV, and Lowry and DeRozan being trash, they still should have won. 5/27 from the backcourt....yikes.

[Cali Panthers Fan]

Un-####ing-believable. Haven't seen that in a very, very long time, much less in OT

[Cali Panthers Fan]

That's likely the ballgame.

Rest of the team went 13 for 25.

Can someone please explain to me why Casey is letting those two clowns keep chucking play after play after play?

And what have none of the teammates grabbed the buggers in the dressing room and smartened them up?

[FlamesNation23]

unreal

[The Big Chill]

Full choke job there. They should fire Casey before game 5

[Cali Panthers Fan]

Terrible OT display for the Raptors. Going back home tied at 2 a piece. Not a terrible result, but they had the series in their grasp had they found a way to close that game out. That has to be disappointing.

[TheAlpineOracle]

The Raptors need to take JV and start over. This team isn't winning anything.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Just an ugly game, but would have been a vital win and they pretty much choked it away. Not sure I can see them winning two more games given the form of Lowry and DeRozan. I guess DeRozan will probably still get a max deal but I also think he may have to settle for Orlando or Detroit to get it and not from decent teams, who have to be taken aback but his brutal postseason play.

[corporatejay]

That was the visual equivalent of shomitting

[St. Pats]

So who is dumber? Casey or Derozan? There would be a contest for the ages. Idiot vrs Idiot.

[nik-]

haha the Raps blew that game? I missed the end.

[savemedrzaius]

I know it will be Game 5 and the Raps are tied in the series. But if DD continues to play like this (not really an "if" we all know he will) I really want the fans to boo the crap out of him. Everytime he touches the ball boo his ass. Make him feel so crappy that even if the Raps give him the max he will not come back here.

[TheAlpineOracle]

It's so frustrating watching other teams players hit shots at crunch time and knowing the clowns on the Raptors will miss every clutch shot they take and makenpiss poor choices.

[Da_Chief]

I like Bismack but the dude has no finish. Which is too bad, he'd be dominant otherwise.

No comment on demar.

Casey, for crying out loud, come up with something better then letting one guy handle the ball and take a last second shot play. The defence literally has to do nothing, stand their ground and hope when they chuck it, it'll miss.

Oh ya the team misses JV. Back to Jurassic Park I guess.

Basketball must be such a weird game. I haven't really watched any playoffs this year, but your team is in the second round, tied 2-2, and I don't think there's one positive post in this entire thread. Fascinating. I can't imagine seeing that in hockey.

[Jason14h]

It's really sad that we are 2-2 in the 2nd round and not 1 minute of this playoffs has been enjoyable

Maybe, but to be honest the only reason it's 2-2 in the second round is because there is quite frankly ONE good team in the east (Cleveland) and everyone else is pretty bad. Like, "finishing out of the playoffs" bad if they played in the west.

Put it this way. The Raps two best players (who are All-Stars btw) went 9/28 from the floor tonight (32%) and if you look back at last game they were also sub 35%.
