Official Thread -- Wizards at Raptors (2/27/14)

Funnest game of the year. But it should have been over in regulation. That was a clean block on Vasquez by Wall, not a goal tend. And DeRozan traveled at the end of one of those OTs on the stupid spin move. Every damn 50/50 call down the stretch went Toronto's way.

You guys have a well coached team, a great management team and a owner willing to spend. The future is bright. Good luck the rest of the season.

No trolls allowed!!

Great game. Of course it coulda been over 30 min ago if we gave our best player the ball in the first OT

DeRozan is an absolute beast. If he had a 3pt shot he would be the next James Harden, only he wouldn't have to flop to get calls.

I disagree with almost everything in this post but thanks for the kind words. Hope to see you guys in the playoffs. It would be a great series.

Sad, but true.

I like the Raptors chances of contending and sustaining the success a whole lot better than Washington's.

We suck. Our whole team is a joke

Congrats on the win

Do me a favour and don't post on other team's boards like you speak for us.

Incredible effort by both teams tonight, the Wizards are a clear playoff team. Don't soil it with your immaturity.

Agreed. I still hope like crazy we can avoid the 6th seed and don't end up playing you all the first round.

…or we go and get the 3rd seed ourselves 8-)

Nice win. I am tired.

Wall did a great job. Hope they aren't gasses out for the next game. Gortat did well too.

Actually, I feel like Apollo Creed at the end of 'Rocky'. I hope there won't be no rematch.

Perhaps we've overcome the curse of not being able to win a lot without Nene. I have no idea if we're better now without him or not. Only time will tell I guess.

His conditioning was absolutely incredible too. By the end he and Wall looked like the only guys left with legs under them.

Glad to see the non trolling raps fans. I'm sorry, I take back everything mean I said about Robin Sparkles.

I'm a pretty level headed Raptors fan, but you talkin' **** about Cobie Smulders?!

(Raptors board tradition is to post a victory girl, here's a Canadian one for you gents)

Btw, both fan bases should celebrate. WE WERE ON TNT BABY!!!!!!! When's the last time you could say that about the Raps and Wiz?

True -- although DeMar hadn't been as aggressive in until the latter half of the game, so perhaps he was able to rest. Vasquez was carrying them until Amir fould out.

Still: he showed guts when he had to take over as primary scorer.

Grats on the win guys!!

You guys got lucky, Raps lost the game rather than the Wizards winning it. Hopefully we see you in the 1st round, easy series for us.

Cheers, sir. We'll get more of that treatment when both teams are in the playoffs!

Honestly, we didn't go to him enough.

One of my biggest issues with Casey is is inability to run anything of meaning in late game situations. We should have been going to DeMar in the post, he could eat anyone you guys could throw at him down there...yet we worked from the perimeter.

Credit much of that to the defense you guys played, but DeMar has no issues going at guys 1-2 inches taller than him like Ariza in the post. His footwork is pretty advanced, we just didn't look to exploit it.

Hypothetical: 3pt issues aside, a Wall-DeMar back court would be amazing.
