A part of me believes this is it. This team lacks the killer mentality.

Our team has NO COMPOSURE in crunch time.

We lost this, they didnt win it.

This makes me feel worse, not better.

the real miracle tonight was Ozzy cleaning up his mess faster than Curry's release time.

Biyombo hasnt had much impact but at least he can be more versatile there.
The Raps need Lowry in the game even at this level, his playmaking is miles better than the next guy up, and you need his brains and defense, other than helping off Dragic stupidly at the end, he has been solid against Goran.

And just try Delon Wright man, they need to find a better way to use PatPat, he cant be the guy that has to defend Joe when the Heat go small, has struggled there.

What? Biyombo was terrible tonight and Val carried us..

Raptors couldnt get a stop to save their life all clutch long and it was largely due to Joseph or Ross defending Wade and Jonas in the middle been wishy washy and slow.

DefRtg of 88.3 with JV on the floor tonight, 2nd best on the team behind Lowry. I don't think he consistently got beat on the PnR tonight. He got beat, but every player gets beat in the PnR. Couple nice moves by Wade, a hall of famer. Not going to complain. Defense wasn't the issue tonight. Hasn't been the issue all playoffs.

Language filter is still here, just like in 2009.

Just my observations:
- Powell has an off game, whether its offensively or defensively. I felt there were a couple of under the basket shots he should have made.
- We were out rebounded, particularly on the offensive end. Bismack was not as dominant in the Pacers series. Is this a matchup problem? We need to do something regarding this
- No defensive solution on Dragic
- Too many sloppy turnovers
- Lowry chucking - if you have an offnight and can't shoot, DON'T SHOOT! Try driving to the hole or play making!
- We should have played more pick and roll and feeding JV running to the basket
- Winslow is terrible

he had a really good game, kudos to him, but again, Joseph/Val defense has been atrocious.

Okay, but no. If you're talking OT there was nothing Val could've done. All the shots they hit were mid range or post ups on non bigs. They were tough shots too save for the one following the review. not much we could've done there.

Biyombo was like a minus 11 in 12 minutes tonight. He gave us 0 offense and 0 defense.

It is free-flow ISO amateur offense, cannot restructure something that has no structure to start with...

Then we need to re-unstructurize.

I feel very good about this series. Miami isn't great. Clean a few things on the pnr coverage with Whiteside and we're good.

Raps in 6, even with Lowry's trash play.

The play was the classic "Demar ball off his foot" play. Unfortunately for the Raptors its always executed perfectly.

I swear it feels like we've seen this happen a few times this season. The guy's hands are absolutely brutal in the final minute.

Is JV injured?

BJaysRaps · Post #278 » by **BJaysRaps** » Wed May 4, 2016 3:21 am

LOL SOME GUYs ON REDDIT described this game perfectly.

It's like you shoot yourself in the head, get resuscitated, and then shoot yourself in the mouth. **** just end yourself already you ain't winning with that trash ass offense. Scrub ass scrubs, pissing away home court yet again.

Hi, I'm Regular Season DeRozan, and I have cable. Hi, I'm Playoffs DeRozan and I don't even have a **** TV

Lowry set the tone for us defensively. He was a +7 so he played well for us. :lol:

Casey trolling.

I get that, but when your offense is poop and you know it your defense better cuts it or you cant win, that was the case tonite
