What happend peeps?!

I would have but I was too busy retching in the bathroom after Pascal's putrid performance

We were all too busy watching the Jays game, and forgot about the Raptors...

Great win for the Jays. Quality loss for the Raps. Huzzah for everybody.

Yuta Jazz

Utah Watanabe

Birch's agent to Masai this summer:

see yall tmrw vs Lakers

This game was literally there for the taking. Anyone blaming Fred is remarkably idiotic. Without him they are getting destroyed. People should be directing their anger towards the horrible offense of sets produced by the coach of the year. We had literally nothing happening in that fourth quarter. And how about Pascal? This dude is such a loser.

I'm really hoping Masai is noticing this to and gets rid of him. Either that or you have to hope to land a superstar so you can hide him as your second or third option. Pascal has such a losing mentality.

The only positives to come out of the stretch of games is knowing that if we had a healthy team with Birch and Gillespie then we are comfortably in a playoff spot. Excited to have a full season with the proper center rotation.

Still pretty frustrated with Pascal.

Not sure why the game thread locked well before this on began

9 FT attempts. 6 if you exclude those 3 from Bembry on buzzer beater. And we were in the paint A LOT. Don't ever tell me these refs are competent ever

Both teams played hard.

Offense looked awful but Gobert is DPOY for a reason, the Jazz a top 3 defense, and they aren't called for fouls on their home court. 3 Raptors played 40 minutes with the Lakers game tomorrow, so that bodes well for the tank.

We scored 4 points in the final 4 mins.

Pascal is slowly becoming our Rudy Gay.

I get that he competes defensively, but I've seen so many lazy plays on defense. His guy gets by him easy or he makes a stupid decision.

Nice showing against supposedly the best team in the NBA on their home court, especially defensively. Raps generated 20 TOs.

Tough whistle (again), very frustrating to watch.

Birch and Freddy played really well. Pascal's handle was bad in the 2nd half. Malachi continues to impress with savvy play on both ends. He caused a couple of TOs that he didn't get credit for, including one near the sideline towards the end of the game.

Toronto Raptors players in order that I hate them:

Baynes



Pascal




Rest of the team

Waited for this to appear just to express my utmost disappointment and disgust with the garbage which our all star P-non skills gifts us every night. Why the duck Nurse does not test him so we can maybe get some game. And we are going to watch this garbage for next 4 years. God help us!

Yeah he underperforms on D considering the skills he has.
Kind of like on offense

Horrible offense down the stretch

Birch>Siakam

Meh. Another close loss this season. What else is new? This season can't end soon enough.

At least Malachi and Birch had some good moments. Both showing that they could be very useful bench players next season (assuming Birch can be re-signed).

Those two being solid players next year would be so useful, because once again the bench provided next to nothing. However, with Birch, Boucher, and Flynn, and then add a rookie wing or two and the bench starts to look a lot better. Flynn and Birch already seem to be getting better day by day with their pick and roll partnership.

And yeah, 9 free throws with how physical Utah plays is ridiculous. Again, what else is new?

Not a bad loss really. It's vs Utah and they kept it close enough.
