Its really hard to root for these guys. Its just a bunch of soft pussies.

Only salvagable players are OG, Wright, FVV, Siakim...Poetl is on probation for now.

If the wiz take the next one I’m not even gonna watch game 6. Seriously, what’s the point? So my blood pressure rises and my remote gets throw across the room again?

Raps need something other than a DeMar dribble-drive on every possession, mix it up with Val or something.

Been saying this even when we were up two..once it became clear that fred was not coming back.. He was the real catalyst and clutch player and he made everyone on the second unit play well...

He is a much bigger loss than dd...

Now raps fans are surprised?

Been saying dd is a fake star.. he doesn't make others better...

Agree 100%. We can't win playoffs with two fake super stars.

as always it's not losing per se it's how we lose playoff games that is so demoralizing. with selfish stupid basketball. that is the casey trademark.

losing to a better team doesn't bother me. losing to a worse team playing over its head when you still played well doesn't bother me. but losing to a worse team because your coach and your allstars are too dumb to stop making the same mistakes over and over again, now THAT drives me nuts. and that's the raptors playoff way.

culture reset my ass.

Face the facts, this team has a lot more wrong with it than Derozan. I have to laugh at the stat where teams who win the first 2 games have a 93% chance of winning. Of course the Raptors will do everything they can to make sure we are the 7% who still lose.

Raptors don't have any new offense as there is no offensive schemes to run which this game clearly revealed. The moment there is an defense at all, Casey simply runs Derozan ISO. Casey has no offensive plan ever and every night it's simply a gamble where usually the bench with FVV saves us from shambles.

Take Fred out and the bench is nothing special.

Raptors are on pace for a first round exit playing like this without Fred. A completely humiliating way to end a regular season record like we did. But perhaps it was a fake record anyways. Playoffs are where it matters and once again the Raptors are stinking it up in the playoffs.



We will never know because Derozan wouldn't let anyone else touch the ball.

I'm pretty sure there would have been a better outcome if we played team ball rather than Derozan heroballing for an insane 38 possessions. You know, like how we did it during the season? The culture reset...


Put Lou Williams And Jamal crawford on this team and they still make less than derozan.

If u wanna do hypothetical take someone out of the game we should be able to sub in some options.

i'm fine with gutting the team along with casey/demar/lowry/jv/ibaka but to say stupid things like delon is better than demar or this game would have been close without demar is a joke.


We won in 7 twice despite him in 2016, he had multiple crap performances against Bucks last year, got swept and annihilated by cavs even with a healthy “star” in Derozan. Is paying Demar all this money to brick shots and play no defense really that valuable to this team? Who’s to say it would have still been close without him

OG has been an absolute beast and he gets sat in 4th quarters.. Casey is insane.

I figured his is how the series would go - next step is to control homecourt and then we’ll see what happens in game 6.

That's true but it still hurts and after going 2-0 with lowry and dd not playing great it felt like raps would get atleast 1 win on the road

I mean the Wizards record is just solid at home in the postseason and you can see the weapons they have.

I was mainly concerned that they would get dominated. It was a bit less tight than I would have hoped, but it bodes we’ll for a good recovery in then next game.

A complete **** disgrace. The way they lost is unacceptable. It was the DeRozan show, wtf. Terrible decisions by the coach, but timeouts, etc.

It's NBA finals or blow it up. Maybe fire Masai too for all these bad contracts.

Not sure I will tune in on Wednesday...

Naw. Refs were horrible in the 4th..

Both of our allstars had multiple obvious fouls against them. Hard fouls that were never called.

These situations were momentum changing.


so was fouling out their top scorer who was on fire on a totally bogus call. can't blame the refs.

toronto fans will always blame the refs.

leafs/raps/jays fans all have inferiority complexes. they need the US media to always praise them and for the refs to always bail them out.

I don't mind this team losing in a good competitive game of basketball, but when they look like a bunch of amateurs that can't pass a basketball or make a simple bunny near the basket, its embarrassing.

Then you have the refs adding insult to injury with their incompetence. I couldn't even figure out how they wanted to manage this game because the whistle was all over the place.

Everyone involved with this game was a disgrace.
