It's unacceptable Sportsnet isn't able to show the slow mo replay before the review was over. It's a **** home game and they are owned by Rogers FFS.

the production crew was too busy showing the celebration of the bench and crowd to show the replays. to be fair i thought he got it off in time from the live broadcast view.

tough loss, the raps looked like they were in control early 4th but got bogged down a little offensively.

He has decided to bench our best shooter in Battle but that's not on him right...


His foot was on the line for that 3, his lack of discipline is why he doesn't play!!!

He keeps subbing Barnes out and putting him with the bench unit that results in the opponent going on 12-0 runs before Darko calls a timeout


I said this before, but Darko is horrible with in-game adjustments where players are concerned. He either doesn't know what he's doing, or he's forcing the issue trying to "develop". It's hard to win and develop at the same time. PICK ONE ROUTE AND GO FORWARD!

Right?


Game shouldn’t have even come down to that. We’ve now lost to the wizards and the gleague version of the nuggets. Atrocious stuff. Good thing we’re getting gradey those development minutes though. It’s really helped him out 35 games in now.

They are idiots for that if that's what happened. If the shot is getting reviewed, we need to know for ourselves what the outcome would be. Not go in blind for the review.

the ball was in his hands when the clock ran out. No screw job.

Game should not have been this close when playing a depleted team. It shouldn't have been close, and you can't be trying to come back from o double digit deficit.

He stopped playing ball when he was young to focus on coaching and you can kind of tell he has no feel for the game lol

Good game.
Brandon Ingram is a baller for sure that shot gave me the mopete not possible vibes from 07 lol. Good times

Some key misses, and some crucial rebounds they were supposed to get that may have changed the outcome in their favour.

Missed a lot of good looks they normally make, just a lid on the bucket tonight.

You don’t think they should fire the person at Sportsnet responsible for not showing a replay there?
