Win A MOTHER F***ING GAME already.....

[NyCeEvO]

I can see it now...."well, we expended so much energy last night that..."

[treiz]

Nope there's no reason for us to lose this game. I don't care whatsoever

[Lord_Zedd]

Oh god, please destroy us Raptors tonight. B Colon Jello's reign on terror must end.

And for those of you who are actually worried about losing, I'll ease your minds. Raptors lost against an undermanned Jazz team by 30 points and Portland's D-League all stars with no starters. Humphries loves playing against the Raptors.

If Bargnani and Calderon are on the floor in the 4th quarter, you guys can call it a victory. No Raptor lead is safe when those two are on the court.

[Keith Van Horn]

Haha thanks for the encouragement Lord Zedd.

This team needs a win in the worst way right now.

[mirrornick]

You guys will win this and after the game

NA NA NA NA NA..... NANANANANANANANAN
BC.... GOOD BYEEEEEE


Enjoy the game folks

Be careful what you wish for.

Remember the last time you guys were trying to lose, we out-tanked you guys lol.

@BrooklynNets: .@raptors announce @KLow7, @AndreaBargnani & Kleiza are OUT for tonight's game. @IamAmirJohnson serves 1-game suspension. #injuryupdate

I swear if we lose.......#FIREAVERY lol

Lol This shouldn't even be a contest. If we lose this game, Avery needs to go. No excuses. Everyone has admitted they are struggling with their shot and that's okay but losing games like last night due to poor coaching is unacceptable especially when he isn't admitting his mistakes.

There's no way in hell the nets lose this game.

Deron Williams will be guarded by Jose Calderon, enough said.

+1

Please win ffs. Want the crowd to boo the team by midway through 2nd Q and see them leaving the game for good at halftime.

[Spicy P]

We only have 8 bodies tonight because of injuries/suspension. Should be an easy win for you guys,

[vincecarter4pres]

We should win this game by 15 minimum and the tale of the tape shouldn't be as close as the final.

So we'll probably lose and Deron will demand a trade to the Pistons.

Question from a Raptors fan

Are you guys satisfied with the Nets so far this season? Did they surpass all your expectations?

[jeff1624]

Lowry and Bargnani are out... which means this team will come out and half ass everything and we'll lose.

Prediction: Andray Blatche to explode for 20 points in the 1st half then get benched for the rest of the game while Avery calls it "resting"

[vincecarter4pres]

This just doesn't feel like a motivated team lol.
