All we need from Ross is a bad performance. Instead he's been abysmal. Pisses me off so much.

Raptors are going to bounce back next game and win comfortably. They are very resilient.

Derozan got that same exact call the following possession. The refs were all around bad

I know Raptors fans are going to cry about the refs but I thought they made up for it for us. Where the game was decided was with Ross. I know I'm always ragging about him but he's been unbelievably bad. His defense is atrocious, his offense is cancerous.

That forced Casey to play Fields, who's hampered our offense because he can't shoot. And then he had to play Salmons, who hampers our team overall. Not more than Ross.

Bad reffing. Wish the Raptors played the whole game like the 4th quarter.

Calls at the end evened out. Raptors lost it at the end. Can't blame the refs for that one.

I'll concede that the refs made some bad calls against the Raps late in that game...but I felt like the Nets were getting shafted most of the game before that.

You had the Pierce block that was called a charge, the foul on Vasquez that wasn't a foul, and then a play where it looked like Deron just lost the ball and wasn't fouled, but I didn't see a replay of that, it may have been a foul for all I know.

Meanwhile, the refs called two fouls against the Nets bigs on FT attempts that weren't fouls. Derozan also got a make up call that he got FTs out of. Derozan also got an And-1 against KG that fouled him out, and that was clearly not a foul. Raps got some bad calls go their way late in the game too.

I think the Canadian word for "we lost fair and square" is "refs".

Raps fans will probably complain about the refs, but the game was lost because of Ross. Lowry made a lazy/tired defensive play against Livingston on that last possession and PPat choked at the line. The refs, as terrible as they were, balance it out at the end of the game (though taking out Val in the first half was terrible).

1 free throw for derozan not deserved. 3 free throws for the Nets not deserved.

At the end of the day, we got outplayed for the majority of the game. Tonight's refs were terrible, both ways. Just feels like we got the short end of the stick

I can say the amount of calls against each team balanced out but I have a really tough time saying since both teams had equal fouls it was fairly reffed.

Said it earlier in thread but I can't put into words how disappointed I am with Ross. He has been absolutely pathetic...the Anthony Bennett of the Playoffs. If he would not be such a scared little child and play his game we would seriously be winning each game by almost double digits. By far the worst performance on the roster.

This is going to get lost in all th complaining about the refs, but Joe Johnson has been the most dominate player in the series by a wide margin. 11/17 29 points. Anyone's opinions change on this guy?

I've heard people say before the series that Lowry, Val, Derozan and Amir were all better. People have constantly labeled him a scrub, the worst all star ever. There have been lists 5-10 deep of people in the east that deserved a spot more than him

Actually, right after D-Will got his undeserved FTs, Derozan got 2 FTs on the same exact play. So 3-3, evens out.

Bad Reffing in general towards the end of the 4th. Bad for both sides.

As a Raptors fan I'm sad they lost but that game was a whole lot of fun and this series has been great so far.
