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.

Sadly we see it a few times a year for several years... its basically become a habit for him no matter how much he improves his handling.

I haven't seen enough of Richardson but I wouldn't base an opinion by comparison tonight. This game was there for the taking but the raps were fried. Perimeter D was just like when George was going off. Miami does not have one player half as good as George. That is how bad we played and somehow playing very badly we almost sleep walked to the win..

It's true. The hate on here is ridiculous.

You mean when he sagged off of Dragic for no reason so that he could hit the dagger 3?

Not that it mattered, but when we were down by 1 with Ross shooting the second free throw, was the plan to miss on purpose? It certainly looked that way. If that's the case, why on earth did we not have JV/Bismack or both to try for the tip in? Instead, we had Patterson and Derozan. We got lucky at the end, but that just seems like another boneheaded move by Casey.

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.

Hey where do you grab numbers form an individual game?

Also boom, Lowry played great on D as I expected. Once again people don't notice those things unless they are a "defensive stud" like Biyombo or if they are also scoring at the other end.

I'm actually more worried about DeRozan than Lowry. Lowry does other things on the floor. DeRozan has become so one dimensional.....he doesn't even move without the ball.

2Pat needs to take the 3 when he is open.

The lack of ball movement is killing this team.

Why don't they play delon Wright?? He can't be any worse than the worse playoff player of all time.

At least he hasn't been scouted and creates opportunities for other players. He has a serviceable 3 point shot too.

Because one play definitely is enough of s sample to say he played poor defense tonight?

He also hit that big three at the end of the half, played great offensively didn't he?

How come Biyombo only played 11 mins?

With the offense struggling and stagnate in OT. I couldnt understand why Joseph was on the bench
Brutal

Why do they insist on letting DD get the ball at the end of quarters? His handle is garbage.
