He also got away with a criminal level of taunting, the likes of which would get any other player T'ed up or suspended. I hope Val crushes him, which he will

Quiet humble kid in minnesota? Lmao

I've been watching you, man. You've been contributing nothing but Raptor fan hate in spite of your supposed "Canadian citizenship". You ok? I'd say it's you who should be embarrassed. Trolling the real fans of the nations team for reasons unknown. I'd swear you were an undercover Brooklynite


How do you contribute to a meaningless troll comments or GIFs. I'm sorry that I find most of the raptor fan base extremely immature. I mean their are some rational poster but majority are just irrational. I'm trolling anyone, sorry if I pinched a nerve calling out immature kids on the internet.

Having said that, I'm still rooting for the raptors but it does not mean I can't dislike most of their fans.


Yes lots of young poster on the Raptors board but many older ones as well and I guess I might point out the Raptor board does have posters unlike the Nets board if you took out Prokorov would have about 10 posts a day. The Raptors, NYKs and Chicago board are the only active ones. How many Nets posters about 20??????

I think the message here is the more minutes Garnett gets, the better chance the Raptors have of winning.

Somebody is going to be in for a surprise....



I'm confused. Are you insinuating "the REAL KG" will emerge in the playoffs? As if he hasn't been doing all he can to get back to form all season long and failed. The only surprise we'll be in for is how quick the refs whistle Valanciunas out of the game on phantom calls. But I guess that won't be much of a surprise really, as it's already been acknowledged league wide that the Nets will get the better calls.

I agree. F*** nets fans for being so poorly represented on forums. What a bunch of c***s!

This should be a pretty genuinely exciting series. Out of interest Raps fans, if the wheels were to fall off your team in this series how do you think it would go down? As in what would be the undoing.

I can see the Nets failing in variety of ways: poor defense of the spot up, over reliance on 3pt shooting (which has been a trend lately), over emphasis on isolating perceived mismatches over ball movement, poor pick and roll d, amir winning the matchup with pierce, REBOUNDING differential!!

Where have you been struggling for consistency?

I'd say failure to contain the dribble and "falling in love with the long-ball", as they say. The Raps had A LOT of trouble stopping dribble penetration in April, which was really, really inconsistent with their play in the months prior. They also started shooting more threes. I'm hoping this was just an end-of-season aberration and we return to form tomorrow afternoon. We'll see.

Four years ago the Nets went 12-70

"Now it's known league wide that the refs are on their side"

Well it's a pretty **** newspaper (which endorsed Rob Ford) so we usually don't expect much out of them.

Somehow I knew over 50% of the votes would have Raps in 4.
