WE NEED SHAUN LIVINGSTON BACK! Now more than ever I can see how much he is the glue that makes this "long ball" destructive. Without him, the pace is off and we just don't play anywhere close to the same...
I assume that's why he's been out for these 3 games or so since JKidd notices this and wants him as on the ball and rested as possible... but wow, Livingston is truly our glue.
and to piggyback on my above point, after this season, we NEED to resign him... no question.
otherwise, this was a silly game that just shouldn't have happened, I hate that we actually put in the starters for this... but whatever, all we can do is look towards the postseason.
Now more than ever, tomorrow matters. It decides who we play in the first round in many regards. Either we win and Raps lose, or we lose and Raps win... either way, let's hope we get the Raps in the first, if not, we better be ready for a really stiff first round against those Defensive Bulls

They barely could defeat us on a back to back without Deron and KG back in February and they couldn't beat us without KG in the last meeting.
They need to relax. Nobody is bothering their board, don't come looking for attention on ours.

It's funny because I don't recall any blatant ref advantage to the Nets when they played the Raptors this season.VinBaker6 wrote:DarkXaero wrote:lol, it's hilarious to me that Raptors fans are terrified of the refs being in our favor, if they play us.

Because it's wrong. The Raps have gotten a combined 53 Free Throw Attempts in the first two meetings in the Post-Gay era. Much more than the Nets.
The last matchup the Raps got 24 attempts and the Nets got 31 which is only because they intentionally fouled. The Nets had only 27 attempts before the Raps fouled to save the game.
It's a pretty lame excuse to blame everything on officiating. Especially, in the playoffs.
No, it doesn't. The Deron turnover was a fluke, and something that rarely ever happens in a game like that. It was a rookie mistake from a veteran player who is supposed to be much smarter than that. Ross turnover does not have the same context. Amir Johnson is not a 3 pt shooter.VinBaker6 wrote:Paradise wrote:I don't understand the tough talk coming from the Raps board either.

Well DeMar didn't play the game the Raps won in Brooklyn, and you could say they were a Ross turnover from 3-1 and Amir 3 pointer from being 4-0 against the Nets.
Works both ways.

We don't. Its jokes, but its also a legitimate concern, especially in the playoffs. Vets/HOFers are going to get calls over young players in the playoffs.

Amir can hit the occasional 3, he's actually shooting 30% on the season and was shooting a ridiculous 38% to start the season.
If Deron inbounds the ball, how does the equate a win? Not a guarantee Nets hit the FT's, and if they did, the Raps could still tie the game on a 3. A win is a win is my point. The Raps won without their all-star and leading scorer in Brooklyn, which is a much better win than beating the Raps without KG.
I'm very confident the Raps beat Brooklyn, especially with the HC advantage and insane playoff crowd. I wouldn't expect anything but confidence either from a Net fan. Gonna be close.

If a win is a win, we wouldn't be subjected to trolls spamming about the Nets needing bias calls to beat the Raptors which is comical and you may sugarcoat it as jokes but obviously it's a legit generalization Raps fans have.

I mentioned "a win is a win" because you said the Nets would 3-1 if not for D-Will's TO (that was a silly point btw). Has nothing to do with anything else. No complained about officiating in the games played this season. But since you cannot refute what I said you will stick to silly generalizations about the largest internet fanbase in basketball.

Really? I've seen differently. I'm not saying every single Raptor fan feels that way but it is certainly a generalization that is not just considered jokes. I'm also not sure how it's a silly point to make that the Nets would be 3-1 on the Raptors if Deron didn't commit a costly turnover. It was 4.2 seconds left and the game was in hand even if someone missed free throws, the Raptors had no timeouts to advance. It's flat out a play that rarely ever happens.
The Raps clearly didn't play superior basketball at the end of the day in all 3 meetings to draw smack talking trolls and same goes for our play vs the Raptors but I don't consider you posting here as trolling. You have the right to defend your team and fanbase just as anyone else.
This team needs the 5th seed and it's frustrating watching them not care about the upside of that path. We don't need Raptor fans trolling our fans after a bad loss for no reason. It's going to eventually start to make you as a fanbase look bad time and time again. It's the nature of the situation.

Yeah I think all three teams in question would prefer Toronto, we really **** ourselves over with that loss to Boston a game after taking the sixth seed, so we kinda made our bed with this one. Obviously your game doesn't have any bearing on our finish but I'm intrigued by the position Washington has been put in now. They could mail it in if they think you guys will fall, however then they run the risk of us catching them.
That's why Bobcats/Bulls moving up an hour is so lame. However, say we blow out Chicago, and it starts early. That would guarantee Chicago finishing 4th, and would also allow Brooklyn and Washington to...angle for sixth and Toronto.
Yep, i personally wouldn't angle for it, though, i would look at the bigger picture and face chicago anyways, i would just try to avoid a second round series vs miami. We'll see what happens tomorrow.
Yup, best of luck to you guys though. Like I said it doesn't really matter to us where ya'll finish, just as long as the Wizards lose

Just wondering..if the cats beat the bulls then washington winning affect the cats right? Just the Nets? (If they are to lose).
