The speed at which the Nets came back in a weird way might have been good for us. The fact that they tied it up with 3 minutes to go meant that the Raps had time to process the comeback and go out and make plays for the win. If the Nets had tied it up with 50 seconds to go or something, the team and crowd might have been so shocked that they would have had a hard time straightening themselves out for the final plays.

This board deserves a losing team not a winning team... How do you blame Casey who has been a great coach, how do you blame Demar who has had better playoff start then Vince and Bosh, how do you blame Salmon who only plays 10min at night at max .... We won game 4 because of Caseys defensive adjustment, Demar has been our best player for 3 of the five games so far, Salmon has done okey the limited minute he has defended JJ...

When Brooklyn signed Alan Anderson in the off-season, I thought he would somehow come back and haunt our team

Whether its our team winning a meaningless because of Anderson sucking, hurting our lottery chances or something like tonight

Listening to some of you guys you'd think this was a team with a history of success and not one that's looking to win it's first 7 game series.... ever. Y'all need to calm down, sure we'd all have preferred if they didn't blow yet another lead, but the Spurs blew a 20 point lead like 3 nights ago and that team is a model of consistency with one of the best coaches in nba history. These things happen, least we won.

Boogie! wrote:one more post for perspective... i think most of us are just really upset because we EXPECTED AN EASY WIN... hell, people were already making PG threads at halftime... but let's not forget, this is the playoffs and we're facing a team with "experience" remember??? you can never count anyone out... but the point is, our main guys came through at the end when it mattered and sealed the deal... and we're now going into brooklyn with a 3-2 lead... MOMENTUM IS IN OUR FAVOUR!

I can't tell if you're serious with this rant. This is some serious dedication if it's all sarcasm.

Someone on the coaching staff needs to tell Amir Johnson to stop running at and fouling people....

Well they are **** morons, Imagine ariza and beal dealinig with PP and JJ. John wall on D-Will. Heck if only Bulls have a D-Will caliber in their team I dont think they'll win a game. John Wall was trash all series it was Nene and ariza and gortat who pulled the team


He was trash...

and still put up 19/7 though.

That shows you how talented he is. Wall was playing his "C" game and they won in 5.

Wall > Lowry and DD

No GM would take Lowry or DD over Wall. I'm not sure they'd take them over Beal either.

However, I do think Lowry has more heart than all of them.

I am sick of these Raptors fans going on Nets board and sucking and kissing their asses with their comments. You all know who you are.

The whistle was blown WAYYY before val touched the ball.

Thats the reason he even touched the ball. VAl didnt make a dumb play at all. He heard the whistle.

The only dumb plays was by AMir.

Are you saying the Net's run has nothing to do with Casey not making any adjustment on subs/rotations or calling timeouts to re-focus his team? He failed to call appropriate timeouts during the run and made zero adjustments in regards to Joe Johnson. Who is supposed to be held accountable for that?

NBA TV video is saying that the Raptors got lucky at the end because of the over and back, otherwise we would have been screwed because of JV's goaltend.
