Re: PG: We Choked
I really was hoping I'd feel a bit better this morning when I woke up. All I keep thinking about is that **** timeout and the feeling I had inside of us going to finally win.

Chill man, they got us to where we are. We got to support our team man. Everyone contributed. Splash bros stepped out, get the hate outta our court.
Thats right! Game 5 is over and done with.
Gotta support the Raps for Game 6!!!!!!!!!

Re: PG: We Choked
Nurse has to man up and bench green when he's not making shots, or defending. I have no clue why he played so many minutes last night. Dude was irrelevant in this game. He had No shot, and his defence on curry and klay was horrible!!!! He was alway behind curry playing catch up. I really don't know why he played so many minutes. Remember in the sixers series when nurse benched green for the whole 4th and we went on huge run to win the game ? I have no clue why he didn't just bench him for powell, or even the defence of McCaw. I mean if he's not making shots, or defending, then he's not anymore useful than McCaw.

Re: PG: We Choked
I was going to avoid this place but the crowd was ****. Even without them cheering although i do think most of them were hyped up from ibaka getting the steal and free throw.
I feel like the raps did everything to lose that game. The warriors gave it to us on a platter yet we couldn't capitalize. I hope our story doesnt end here.
Curry was almost crying on the end game with Smith. Im hoping its because he realizes the series is over without Durant. They were completely outmatched even while hitting all those 3s.
It looks good for us. We were foolish to think it would be easy. I hope the raptors come out swinging at the oracle and our real fans take the stadium over one last time.

Re: PG: We Choked
That was bad
after having watched hundreds of raptors games, that was such a classic raptors game and ending it wasnt even funny lol
all we can do is regroup.
theyre confident now but i hope we still have it to close out the job
on to the next one

Yeah, I was shocked at that. At one point Kawhi passed the ball thinking Danny was in that corner when it was simply the Warriors bench standing.

Record high in allowed 3pters, horrible shooting from the perimeter, bad turnovers, missed FTs, and missed 50/50 balls. One thing we've proven is that we clap back after games like these.
I like our chances for game 6

I had convinced myself they were gonna do it up 6 with the ball running down the floor, until Nurse called an ill advised TO.
I'm a huge Nurse supporter but it was a rookie mistake.

Re: PG: We Choked
The Warriors came to play. Curry and Klay were amazing. Don't think both can have the same game again. Big balls to hit those 2 3PT shots towards the end of the game to tie it up. That's why they get paid the big bucks and are champions. On to game 6. Let's finish this off!
Green and Siakim were a huge disappointment last night. Biggest game in Raptors franchise history and they both laid an egg. They better show up in game 6 or this is going 7 and it's anyones game.

Re: PG: We Choked
I went to bed after the game, did Nurse literally say in the presser that he forgot they had a timeout?

Slept on it and can day with certainly.....
that timeout took our championship away.
Kawhi was in beast mode, crowd was on fire and GS was out of sorts on D.
No reason

Re: PG: We Choked
Siakim had his worst playoff game... green was horrible. Kawhi had one of his worst playoff games... Lowry was off until second half, and yet..we lose by one on a play we should have drove to basket and drawn the foul for the win...
We need one of two. And much better play from more players....

Too many turnovers. Missed some FT. Missed some bunnies. And first half reffing was bad. We barely touched their players and it was a call while we're driving and getting hammered and the refs swallowed their whistles.

Re: PG: We Choked
That Nurse Timeout reminded me of the time where the Raptors had a clear path fast break, forgot against who, and were about to win the game and Casey calls a timeout and comes up with a trash play and they lose.
It was like the ghost of Casey possessed Nurse there. Total head scratcher.

We still kept them below 110 pts . Need to hit those outside shots. If Pascal or Danny hit just one each it would have been over.

I’ve always said that Nurse feel for the game is way below his Xs and Os.
