PG: Raps avoid epic meltdown, take series lead.

ATLTimekeeper · Post #661 » by **ATLTimekeeper** » Thu May 1, 2014 3:12 am

The Nets got lucky hitting all those 3s. Plumlee got away with goaltends on consecutive plays. Amir and Vasquez... don't know what to say, but they were brutal there. We didn't choke, which is HUGE for our confidence going forward, like years down the road. I'd rather see that than a blowout here.

Raps should have lost. Blatche is a dumb ass. I really want to be happy though

Those brooookkkkllyyyn chants woke them up.

when did the goal tend happen?

When D-Will shot from backcourt. Technically the blame was stopped b/c it was in the backourt, but he got the shot off in time and it was 3 pointer too. It was clear goal tend by JV. When Blatche threw the ball in the backcourt, there was Raptors player right there. If he had deflected it, that would have being goaltending and 3 points and the win for Nets.

I know I had no idea what people were talking about. The whistle had blown though. There was no chance it was actually a goal tend.

When the Teletubby is +31, and Pierce is -31, you gotta stick with the Teletubby

Anyone on here not happy with the win can gtfo be proud of your team and stop bitching about everything. Raptors won the game they've got all the momentum. The pg thread makes it seem like we lost . Holy ****

With all due respect, and I'm a massive fan, my heart bleeds raptors ball, I walked out of that arena pissed.

I'm happy we won, and at least it will keep us on our toes for next game... But to blow a 20 point lead in Iess than 10 min is impressive.

We shouldn't be proud about barely holding on to what should've been the biggest playoff win in the history of the Raptors.
The raptors put on bench players, let off the gas, and are entirely to blame for the collapse.

we shouldn't be proud??? SO WE SHOULD ALL JUST GIVE UP AND CONCEDE THE SERIES TO THE NETS??? this is so **** ridiculous man... do you guys WANNA WIN! winners win... it doesn't matter if it's almost, if it's ugly, if they were hurt... THE RAPTORS WON! THEYRE BETTER THAN THE NETS! THEYVE SHOWED WHY! and they need to come out again IN THE NEXT GAME AND GIVE THE FINAL KNOCKOUT PUNCH... my god man... WE'RE UP 3-2! WE'RE NOT DOWN! WE'VE BEEN IN EVERY SINGLE GAME! WE'VE DOMINATED FOR PORTIONS OF GAMES! THE NETS HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO DOMINATE US! WAKE UP! we're better period... it took a HUGE RUN FOR THE NETS TO GET BACK IN and still LOSE. this attitude that "OMG, NETS OMG SO EMBARASSING THEY ALMOST CAME BACK, OMG FEEL SORRY FOR MYSELF WERE RATTLED" is so pathetic and if you're honestly gonna use that as an excuse for the raptors players, then THEY WOULD BE PATHETIC if they felt that way... but the fact that they PULLED THIS ONE OUT and WON the game, and MADE CLUTCH PLAYS AT THE END, shows they don't... they're more resilient than that...

Boogie used to use green font all the time back in the days.

We shouldnt be proud to be up 3-2 in this series and one win away from the second round? Thats such a negative point of view, glass half empty. If you thought the Nets wouldnt make a comeback then youre stupid, every team has been making crazy comebacks in the playoffs. Its not just us. The main thing is we are one win away. In the playoffs, the goal is to get 4 wins, doesnt matter how you get it. Get 4 wins and move on to the next one, and after tonight we are 1 win away from it while the nets are still 2 wins away.

thank you... some perspective... this is so freaking ridiculous... we ARE NOW UP 3-2! WE HAVE NEVER LEAD A SERIES SINCE 2001!!!! WAKE UP! WE'RE IN THE DRIVERS SEAT AND SHOWED WHY WERE A BETTER TEAM THAN BROOKLYN!!!! funny how people give so much credit to brooklyn, funny how a bunch of fans even expected brooklyn to win this series, and then theyre so surprised that brooklyn made a run to get back in the game... people give so much credit to brooklyn, then they just expect them to fold and give up and stop playing... NO, THEY MADE THEIR RUN... AND WE STOPPED IT. WE DIDNT LET IT GET TO US. WE WON! was it a pretty win? NO! but it's the PLAYOFFS, TEAMS MAKE RUNS... but we didnt fold because we have players that are resilient and wanna win... and we did... RAPS IN 6! **** BROOKLYN!

Apparently the entire board would rather be down huge, come back late and still lose rather than actually winning the game. Unreal.

Nets made an insane run and still couldn't get it done. This win breaks their backs.

They are just lucky but luck will not win the series so they better man-up to that or else.

We came back from a 17pt deficit in 6 minutes and were 2 missed FT away from tying it and sending it to OT in game 3. This isn't excusable but the Nets were lucky to survive that game and we were lucky to survive this game. This is going to 7 games.

They blew the whistle, though. They wouldn't count it as a shot attempt. JV knew what he was doing.

Especially when JV was getting the power game going and Ross was just waking up his shooting touch. Why not get their confidence going for the next game. Instead Casey brings in Chuckwagon and Salmons :banghead:

It's why im more comfortable playing on the road. This team gets to caught up with the crowd and the hype. On the road, they know the refs and the fans are against them and they have to get the job done on there own.

He goaltended their back-court heave. Literately 0.1 seconds left on the clock. Thank god it was called a back court violation. Honestly, that decision by him **** on my night. I walked out of there feeling like we lost. It was that bad of a decision.

Yeah but the whistle went, so the play ends. If the review was that the Raps touched it it would have been Nets ball but they wouldn't have pretended that the play happened.
