Re: 2014 NBA Playoffs: Toronto Raptors (3) vs Brooklyn Nets
We can complain about the refs all we want, but the Raptors just made too many little mistakes. Think about early in the game when Ross blew the wide open layup, and then Hansbro and Fields both missed from 1 foot away

Re: 2014 NBA Playoffs: Toronto Raptors (3) vs Brooklyn Nets
I'm sad the raps lost bug they played horrendous D all game and still were in position to tie with seconds left.
What that says about the nets I don't know, but if we can get this close with their guards playing out of their minds and Lowry limping all game that's not bad. Pressure is on for game 4 though. No more missing point blank lay ups or letting guards get to the paint on every possession
What I do know is neither of these teams can beat Miami. Raptors have nobody to stop bigger wings and Brooklyn's bench and bigs are playing like absolute trash. Saddens me to see

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
He didn't deserve to be an all star over some guys but he's certainly been the best player in this series. Picking his game up at the right time

Sad that the end of the game is mired by so many bad calls.
Ultimately most of it evened out but it's still ridiculous that so many bad calls were made then.

Raptors really didnt deserve to win with they played in the 2nd and 3rd but those last 2 missed calls on Livingston were utter bull. I understand there were missed calls for both sides but those literally cost us the game

Good game. I can't even be mad at Patterson for missing the 2 FTs since he was largely responsible for the comeback. For the most part I think this series has been officiated fairly. Although I think the last couple minutes of this game had a couple questionable in favor of the Nets.

The refs were bad... But not biased, just bad.
Toronto's 17 turnovers, missed FTs and giving up 58 points over the middle quarters of the game were the problems...

The biggest difference between DeMar and Joe is DeMar shoots it 10 more times a game.
This why the coaches voted him in because how much they need to game plan against him. They're constantly doubling him this series, playing Fields who has no offensive game. No other player has forced more adjustments.
Johnson has been getting doubled constantly all season. He can score in so many ways.

Yes because ross has been so amazing this series, we should just give him the ball every possession

Good series.
Happy Nets won.
Gotta say the ref's didnt allow the game to be played in the final 2 minutes, every drive to the basket got a foul call for both sides.
Also whats up with CP3,Dwill and Wall all missing 2 FT's in the clutch?

Terrible loss. Raptors didn't deserve to win the way they played.

Tough game for both teams.
Refs were fine with good playoff contact in much of the game, but then parts of the game moved to a crawl. Especially the last two minutes where every drive by both teams became a foul.
