2018-19 NBA and Raptors thread

[TheAlpineOracle]

Good lord the Raptors are infuriating when they are having one of their games where they can’t hit a shot and start jacking 3s from everywhere on every possession.

[jayswin]

VanFleet sucks.

[TheAlpineOracle]

Get Ibaka off the goddamn floor. He’s useless tonight on both ends.

[The Big Chill]

We forgot how to shoot.

[TheAlpineOracle]

If you are 2-13 from 3, maybe it’s time to try something else?

[The Big Chill]

This is brutal. Pretty much game over already

[Senator Clay Davis]

They shot like 70% in the first half the other night, this is the other side of things. Give the Sixers credit though, they are clogging the lanes and not giving up the easy baskets they did the other night. Also definitely not game over, 18 point deficits aren't what they used to be in the NBA. 10 years ago that was impossible, now we see these deficits shaved away regularly because of the increase in three point shooting.

[The Big Chill]

On now the refs are piling on. Terrible calls

[dissentowner]

Nothing like NBA officiating to make you realize the NHL could be worse.

[jayswin]

Haha nice. Just to make you remember that even if it was close it wouldn't be. Embarrassing league.

[TheAlpineOracle]

Couple bad calls but the rebounding is pathetic. The amount of offensive rebounds the Raptors are giving up is unacceptable.

[The Big Chill]

Yup rebounds are 33-13. That is crazy lopsided

[TheAlpineOracle]

I hate JJ Reddick.

[bluejays]

Well, for a terrible 1st half, they've stormed back hard. The reffing has been bad for both teams, honestly. The inconsistency is aggravating. Just as aggravating is Nick Nurses rehearsed shocked look. It's got old fast.

[Jason14h]

Reffing has been terrible all postseason, and based on this game and the GS game they are on the verge of loosing complete control

[The Big Chill]

The bench is killing us. Going to have to ride the starters the rest of the way.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Shows how much the NBA has changed that two teams shooting under 36% and 35% will still both score into the 90s. Games like this back in the "golden era" would probably finish with the current scoreline if those were the shooting percentages. Ugly game so far.

[TheAlpineOracle]

Jesus Christ. Get Ibaka and VanFleet our of this game.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Nurse probably costing them the game, there's two full days off until game three so no excuse to not ride Kawhi the whole fourth.

Yup. Terrible call by Nurss.
