I've watched the Raps all year, and we aren't even playing close to how we normally play. I don't know if its the nerves or what, but we're lucky to be down only 4 especially with Ross/DD being non-existent.

Stream is not working for me, first time in 4 years, apparently everybody wants to see the Raptors. :o


It's because of the free trial period. So far it has buffered couple of times, but otherwise it's been okay.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

I have a feeling this series is going to provide some quality lulz. Hope it goes to 7

Garnett and Pierce didn't do much for BK either. Toronto should be up and have had their chances.


Garnett who's averaging 6 PPG is not supposed to be doing much. Raptors have 12 turnovers. Hard to be up when you don't take care of the ball.


I know, you guys are making some bad turnovers. Need to cut those down big time.

I thought Derozan would be the best player on the court in this series. He needs to grow up quickly or it won't play out the way I thought it would lol

hopefully the refs don't ruin this series on both sides. Just let the nets and raptors play.

Raps only down 4 after shooting 39%, 11 turnovers and DeRozan with only 4 points. Good position, they really need DeRozan to give them something. Ross too. Not looking too good for Brooklyn.

They're calling some ticky tack stuff both ways. Hopefully not indicative of how other games will be called.

Plus insane crowd reactions make calls seem worse to be honest, hearing that reaction gives it that feel every time.

Almost everyone in the media thinks Brooklyn are the favourites; the NBA.com series preview didn't even talk about the Raptors (the Raptors were mentioned as being the opponent and as not being in the playoffs for 6 years, but I don't think I saw a photo of a Raptor yet I saw Kidd spilling his drink, etc.).

2nd unit gave us a good lift despite Salmons.

John Salmons is soooo bad

Every shot he takes is a line drive headed for the rim

Raps down 4. Derozan and Ross with 0 production, meanwhile Williams and Johnson playing as well as they possibly can. Raps with 14 turnovers I think, too? if they can even just bring it up a NOTCH and clamp down this is a rap W easy.

I haven't seen much of Fields since he left the Knicks, is he that much worse than Salmons?
