Did melo get hurt or something?

Actually, I would even like to see that out of bounds on the baseline again. He got bodied pretty good and I never actually saw his foot go out. Not saying it didnt. I just didnt see it.

Green wasn't called out of bounds, he was called for hooking Patterson with his elbow on that play. I thought it was out of bounds initially but he was called for a foul on the hook.

Then why did they review it ?

Now Im confused. Hooking isn't reviewable. Or was someone saying they just were showing the replay.

I think I had the sound down at the time and they review was kind of highlighting his feet so I thought they said he step out, but I never saw him step out. If they called hooking, I missed that as well. If it was, it wasn't much of a hook.

Keep in mind, he was playing against Plumlee and Len.

Still, great game. He looked unstoppable.

Just saying what I saw. Neither team is my team.

That jump ball was in IT hands. I didnt see a TOR player with the ball there.

Lowry tipped it out. Sure. But he never had it. IT grabbed it and spun. Then some TOR player came diving over the top of the pile. That should have been a foul right there.

TOR still deserved to win. They played a more sound game. Got the lead. Absorbed the run. Made plays down the stretch.

Actually, I would even like to see that out of bounds on the baseline again. He got bodied pretty good and I never actually saw his foot go out. Not saying it didnt. I just didnt see it.

Maybe it was just me not seeing a good angle of that possession. I saw Lowry get a good deflection, dive on the ground for the ball, then a bunch of players on top of each other.

Are you talking about the last play with Green in your last paragraph? They refs reviewed it. They showed a replay on my feed, and he just threw it out of bounds with no one touching him.

So didnt step out. He just lost the ball ?

You two are talking about a different play, he's talking about the last play of the game and I think you are talking about the play where Patterson defended Green with about a min left. For that play even if he did step out (from what I saw it looked like he did) there was less than a second on the shot clock at that pount

[hands11]

Suns are a great team, but their fans complaining about lack of FT's? Is this real life?

A 3rd of the shots they took were threes. The raptors were attacking the rim all game and the refs were letting A LOT go. Any objective observer would agree.

Of course the Raps got to the line more often, it's simple math.

Anyways, what a game. Those Suns can get hot FAST.

I knew The Raps weren't just going to steamroll them in the 4th. Not surprised at all it got close and went down like it did.

Raps move to 12-2 now. Amazing.

Wow. Someone should post this again like 5 more times in case no one read it.

yea could be a confidence builder for him

My bad, there were two plays and when you said out of bounds I thought you were referring the earlier play when Patterson was guarding Green to the baseline. That's where he hooked Patterson and was called for the foul.

The one they reviewed, Green just lost the ball on his own out of bounds. Nobody touched Green at all, he just flubbed it and they reviewed to ensure it was Green that touched it last.

[Walid]

Everyone tune in to watch the Raptors get manhandled.

Ur A Winner

You're welcome that I jinxed it.

[Ballerhogger]

The raps beating a guard heavy team is good start but the Suns almost won this one. Good game that could of gone either way. Suns have no front court, which will kill them down the stretch . Time to start deciding what guard they don't want. They can score but have no Front court what so ever. ill give them Ed Davis or Jordan Hill for Isiah Thomas

[Chuck Everett]

Brandan Wright is going to get paid by someone. He's a really good finisher now.

[S.W.A.N]

Welp... I'm out of here. Not about to have a stupid argument about reffing with delusional fans.

I like the Raptors as a team, but man, they have some sensitive, defensive fans.

We actually have the really annoying ones locked up right now. Wait till we hit a losing streak and the bitching begins...

[inquisitive]

Harden played good D tonite

Utah coming back against Chi

[hands11]

Lol are you kidding. Kyle lowry completely got the ball not to mention amir johnson came in. In fact, not only should it have been a jump ball, amir should have been jumping instead of lowry.

And dont even get me started on all the non-calls. Kyle lowry got murdered by tucker and morris a couple of times and didnt get called. Goes both ways bud

Post a gif if you have it.

I didnt see that. I saw IT with the ball and then amir flying into the pile. Most would call that a foul right there. But even after that I saw IT with the ball turned up on his back calling a TO.

But it was a jump

Why would it be a foul?? Everyone just jumped for the loose ball. The ball was loose when lowry and thomas went down first. Which caused amir to jump in. Your arguing about a baseless thing. Not even close to a foul.

Its not football. If you are near the ball you can dive for it. You can't come flying in our outside and just dive on people.

[schnakenpopanz]

suns are worse than last year. tragic looking bad after the world cup. raptors should come west first, after so long trips we can see how good they really are. no matter what good start to the season.

So let me ask the TOR fans.

What teams do you think would give TOR trouble ?

Who would be a bad/tough match up and why ?
