Part of it was give thq ball to kawhi offense.

Raptors only got 8 FTAs* from 3 refs who are all ranked in the top 3 for most fouls called....that's ridiculous

*(not including 2 FTAs from the intentional foul at the end)

Good hard fought W despite Kawhi's subpar game. He'll probably go off in Game 4.


If he did, that's called a make-up call since he got screwed over so many times including shortly before that play.

Yeah man definitely gotta take it when you can. Refs are trash and they always will be.

Some people say we shouldn’t complain about officiating in wins but if we only do it in losses it sounds like sore loser talk.

Kawhi and Gasol both got terrible whistles/non calls.

Also, Terrence Ross is good.

Raps have shot 27 less fts so far in the series. That is with 2 home games and a superstar player. Happy with the win but stuff like this cant go unnoticed.

Nope.

His defence was unreal so far all series and he’s playing within the game plan. He’s not forcing and letting other guys going and taking what the defence gives him.

You guys should watch the game understand what’s going on before saying dumb things.

You realize that you guys got more fts than us right? Refs suck, but they were on your side tonight. Who cares about the travel.

Trash bros, NORM + FVV


See that's the problem. The only guy nurse sees as expendable is norm in that scenario. Norm is bettwe than mccaw offensively. Mccaw is more a specialist defender. I would use him in situations like a final defensive stop when you need length. But nurse wont even play him there. He plays fvv instead.


As it should be. Fred has consistently shown he is better than norm and McCaw. Sure he can have bad games or stretches of games like even the best players on our team can have (Kawhi, Kyle). I know you will never be able to see this but as for consistency in what he provides, Fred is easily superior to norm and McCaw. And I love both of them as well.

Isaac has really impressed me. If it wasn't for this kid, Siakam would be putting up even better numbers.
