Watching Toronto play for 3 pter's where GS is best on perimeter defense instead of attacking GS in the paint makes no sense to me when Toronto looks better and can hurt GS mystifies me. Toronto has an advantage on GS inside and need to stop playing only for 3 pter's only.

I think the Warrior's organization should be investigated after that attempted hit job on Lowry by Warrior's minority owner Mark Stevens.
Maybe even lose some draft picks.
First they send ZaZa to take out Leonard, now they are having their owners attempt to take out players? I guess that's just their M-O.

Agreed. Who would you start at C? Bogut or Looney? or try something interesting with Green at C?

Raptors should have shot 20+ free throws in the 1st half.

If you’re ridiculous homer sure. Like more of those Looney fouls on Lowry? Lots of contact there eh.


Had they called a foul on a Raptor that way, there would be a dozen posts ripping the refs for keeping GSW in the game.
AKME got to go

I’d say Looney. Better at switching on defense.

Do you really think the officiating is worse than game 2 or 3? Or do you just want to **** on raps fans


Game 2 being bad is part of the raptors fans victim complex.

It was fine. This game has been fine as well.

Apparently on here refs are bad whenever the Raptors lose.

I don’t know how you can Watch the first half of game 2 see that wasn’t terrible officiating. BBall breakdown had an official that was head of referee development breakdown the terrible officiating

Raps still had a shot and were gifted a chance with Klay out and couldn’t capitalize

First they send ZaZa to take out Leonard, now they are having their owners attempt to take out players? I guess that's just their M-O.
