PG: Raps avoid epic meltdown, take series lead.

[EventHorizon]

Joe Johnson will probably drop 50 next game.

We got salmons to stop him

[DHK]

At first I was like..


Then I was like...


Now I'm like

[AkelaLoneWolf]

Salmons on JJ. If it wasn't obvious enough before how important it is to shut him down, there should be no doubt now. Fishman played amazing d on him.

were u watching the same game i was

[puinha]

What a game! How the *** is it possible to end the game throwing away a 26 point lead. Kyle Lowry is my new HERO.
Great FT shooting from Demar at the end of the game. Real stupid fouls when they shot from the 3 point line.
Tasty victory but i'm afraid we may have lost our confidence for the game at Brooklyn.

[Undefeated]

The transition defense needs to clean up because that's where most of their 3's have been coming from the trail spot. Every single time everyone just converges to the ball instead of finding a man and covering them.

[rarefind]

In further disbelief that I can't tune in to any post game coverage.

I knew this was going to be a GIF. I want to AND1 this 10 times lol.

thats a realgmer for sure

3 4pt play fouls in the 4th alone is inexcusable. A long lesson on situational basketball needs to be addressed to these low basketball IQ Raptor players tomorrow. When you're up 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc...with 1 minutes to go, what to do, what not to do. Example, up by 5 and Amir leaves his man in the corner to help out on a blow by going for the 2pt lay up is just a total lack of discipline and understanding situational basketball. You gotta stay with the 3pt shooter in the corner and concede the 2pts. You're still up 3, and they have to foul. Hell you don't even have to make both free throws, making 1 out of 2 makes it a 2 possession game...................unless you foul 3pt shooters and give 4pt plays like the Raptors did.

Despite the win, I'm extremely upset right now. This utter stupidity in the 4th should be the number 1 focus and teaching tool for tomorrow to educate these low basketball iq players.

[Geddy]

We have some of the dumbest players I've ever seen. Some of those decisions were horrible. Wow.

This. Whose **** idea was it to inbound the ball(with a 40 foot pass no less) into the Brooklyn end with 1 second left? We almost pulled a Mo Pete. If you really have to throw it in you are better off turning it over closer to your end. Or just take the 5 second violation, Brooklyn was out of timeouts, they wouldn't have enough time to advance the ball. Just unbelievably stupid.

I'm pretty sure I shouted, "what the f...!" at the TV when I saw that unfold

My heart, my friggin heart!!!!!!!!

amen

[Asif16]

THis doesnt even feel like a win

[dTox]

everyone needs to calm the **** down... we won the game. period... we dominated and showed why we're the better team... period... we melted down at the end but it was because of and 1 after and1 from 3, and joe johnson abusing our d... it's fine... we showed we're better... we almost choked, but WE DIDN'T... and that's the point... our key guys showed up at the end... IT'S OVER IN BROOKLYN! everyone needs to **** calm down.

SOrry this was not one of those "we won the game period" wins. This was a "we're goddamn lucky we avoided the most embarrassing loss in team history" win. Which isn't good.

CAN PEOPLE STOP FOCUSING ON THE NEGATIVES! WE WON THE GAME. WE'RE UP 3-2! WE'VE SHOWN WE CAN DOMINATE. YES, ALL THAT MATTERS IS WE WON! JUST LIKE ALL THAT MATTERED IN GAME 2 IS WE BLEW IT AT THE END! that's it... it's 3-2... the raptors showed theyre better... theyve controlled the past 2 games and have shown why theyre better... get over it... I HOPE NONE OF THE RAPTORS HAVE YOUR MENTALITY! THEY SHOULDN'T! THEY SHOULD STAY FOCUSED, FIGURE OUT WHAT WENT WRONG BUT GO INTO BROOKLYN KNOWING THEY CAN DESTROY THEM AT WILL IF THEY FOCUS. jeez man... this attitude is embarassing.

Dude relax. this is a serious issue, typing your points in caps doesn`t validate it any further. Just for the record, this is troubling not only for the Raptors but any team, case in point: Spurs were tied 2-2 against the Lakers (2004), up 20+ points in game 4 only to see the Lakers come back and win by a single point, and then they lost the remainder of the series, and there are countless other series that can be brought up to exemplify why the posters above have a legit reason for concern, and this includes teams that were much better than the Raptors. Basketball is a game of runs and momentum, and we blew this game pretty hard, fans have a right to question the coach and team.

Managed to get a pic of the Miami Heat while they were watching the fourth quarter.

Between the Nets in q1-3 and us in q4, I wouldn't say they are feeling too stressed right now.

[Risk101]

Kyle Lowry.

I knew this was going to be a GIF. I want to AND1 this 10 times lol.

2 theories:

1. He tried hard to land her - got her - but she doesn't really wana be with him.
2. She has low self esteem and is really shy

Either way lmao that guy is all over the internet.

[B-Ball Freak]

Strangely enough I think the Nets run in the 4th quarter will work to our benefit. If they mailed it in and gave up the Raptors extremely lackadaisical play could have been starting right from the get go in game 6. Instead they got their wake up call in a win rather than fresh off a new game.

I was thinking the same thing, hopefully you are right.

[wolfv]

We never get post game on main networks. Always on raptors TV

[Bankai]

Let me guess why the Nets made a comeback... it was Casey with poor rotations and substitutions and it got the Nets back in the game is that right? I already figured out that the only reason that the ever Nets keep it close is if the Raptors keep shooting themselves in the foot because of Casey.
