Eastern Conference | Round 1 | (4) Philadelphia 76ers vs. (5) Toronto Raptors

[bebopdeluxe]

If they can get it to balance out a little bit I don't mind. Doc did a pretty good job himself in the post game pointing out how Toronto is looking to muck up the game a little bit. My guess is things stay the same. I don't care that much in the end about the refs, I just wish it was more consistent across the whole game. what is a foul in the 1st Q might not be one in the 3rd.

Doc saying that Toronto wants to "muck" the game up is not the same as Nurse whining about the refs, IMO. I actually think that Doc's point was a legit point - after Game 1, both Nurse and FVV seem to say in their postgame pressers that they were not physical enough against the Sixers. You certainly would expect them to come out and be more physical - and they were. I got no problem with that - this is playoff basketball.

I feel like you read half my post and respond.
I wasn't suggesting Doc was saying anything bad or whining at all. I said it was a good counter to what nick nurse said.

I wasn't saying that you were slagging Doc in your comment. Just making the point that what Doc was saying about the Raptors wanted to "muck" up the game is different than Nurse complaining about the refs.

Doc is surprising so far. It's like Doc the last half decade was Jimmy Dugan and suddenly either this version of the team (or maybe that everyone is now focusing on him alone if Sixers fail) caught his attention and he's decided to start coaching again.

Yea I know what you mean. By no means do I think he hasn't been a great coach it just seems like compared to the last few years he's really taken it up a notch seems to be interested again. It didn't seem like it until recent.
