And offense. The guy is an off-armming offensive foul machine and he never gets called.
I can see how Milwaukee is on the wrong end of a lot of 5 vs 8 as they are a small market .
But Toronto is a zero, non - existent TV market!
Toronto will always by league policy - be on the wrong end of 5 vs 8.
We need to be mad about 5 vs 8 even when we win - it cannot be sour grapes when we lose.
KL and Powell the Owl ( a raptor I think??) take charges, no call - DD turns around and gets nailed with a charge.
JV gets vertical and gets called.
We need to be upset about this and not let it go!
I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's 5 vs 8. It's unfair. JV gets a foul for defending but the Bucks can hammer us with impunity. Punks are running wild attacking Raptors and there's no official anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. And we sit watching our TV's while some local sportscaster tells us that Lowry got hacked but there was no call, DD is dusting himself off again and there was no call, and then JV dared defend at our end and then suddenly there was a call as if that's the way it's supposed to be. We know NBA officials are bad - worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere that the other team does is ok and if the Raptors try to do something it's a foul, officials going crazy. We sit in the house,trying to cheer on the Raptors and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms and call the game fairly!. Let me have my Demar DeRozen, KL and Powell the Owl, JV and Pat-Pat along with my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone, be fair and please NBA officials, call the game unfolding before your eyes and not some imaginary game elsewhere!!' Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get mad! I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot - I don't want you to write to your congressman because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the willful blindness about Raptors getting hacked and imaginary calls being made against them, and if the Bucks were to do to the Raptors what they do them outside and not on the court, it would the crime in the street and the officiating is terrible. All I know is that first you've got to get mad. You've got to say, 'I'm a HUMAN BEING, God damn it! I'm a Raptors fan and My life and my team has VALUE!' So I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell, 'I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!' I want you to get up right now, sit up, go to your windows, open them and stick your head out and yell - 'I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Things have got to change. But first, you've gotta get mad!... You've got to say, 'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Then we'll figure out what to do about the 5 vs 8, the willfull blindness when Raptors take a charge or when the Bucks shove off on offense, But first get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it: "I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!"
