PG: Raps avoid epic meltdown, take series lead.

[Dennis 37]

can someone please explain to me why all those **** 3 pointers were and 1s? that's such a bull call considering the player already released the ball when those shots went up...

With a 26 point lead I don't think you need to double team. Let them get their two's or foul their two's just make sure their threes are covered.

[Boogie!]

Momentum is in the Nets favor. They will come out like gangbusters. I don't see us winning game 6 at all. But here's hoping we re-group and regain our focus.

what are people talking about???? IT TOOK ALL OF NETS ENERGY TO COME BACK FROM THAT ****! AND GUESS WHAT HAPPENED AT THE END? THEY LOST! if anything, it's demoralizing to them... wasting all this energy to come back, to tie it, only to come up short at the end?? that sucks... knowing theyre now done 3-2, and they have to win or else their series is over... knowing they still have one more in toronto? it's over... **** BROOKLYN, RAPS IN 6!

[BloodyNose]

Holy ****, i was squeezing a freaking hand gripper during that whole game, equivalent of using a **** stress ball. The refs were fair, im done with conspiracies for now

[2pat]

Salmons on JJ. If it wasn't obvious enough before how important it is to shut him down, there should be no doubt now. Fishman played amazing d on him.

[bakafool]

Gotta give props to Demar. He his some crucial shots and was damn clutch at the line.

[Steven1562]

Holy cow that 4th quarter was an emotional roller coaster ... My heart sank when Johnson hit that 3 too tie but Lowry came up clutch see you in Brooklyn

[curryking3]

Are you frigging serious? What's wrong with the raptors?

Can't figure out that you have to double team Joe Johnson like they ALWAYS double team Demar? They have to foul EVERY 3 point shooter? They have to play ZERO defense the entire game??? They HAVE to play Tross over Vasquez all the frigging time? Come on lol!

I mean seriously they can't tell they have to play more seriously by the time the 26 point lead is cut to 16? What the hell was that about lol!

So lucky that Lowry bailed them out, sooooooooooo lucky...

[ZanTabernak]

Of all the inbound plays with 1 second left THAT is what you do? Lob that toward the OTHER basket if you have to.

[gp2015]

DeRozan's absolutely disgusting at the end of games, except at the line.

Thank you Kyle you wonderful man.

I'm sorry were you watching the game? He did nothing wrong there at the end. Sometimes I feel like people hate on derozan for no reason.

Except his defense was absolutely horrid in the 4th quarter.

He hit some clutch shots and the FTs but it's still going to be a problem with him being exposed every game on defense.

[Lateral Quicks]

Hopefully the media will explain why JV - a guy who was owning all night - barely played at all in the 4th despite an epic meltdown. It's almost like Casey was trying to make it close.

[RaptorJ]

Pretty much kills me we have Fields ready to guard Johnson and we play Salmons 13 minutes instead.

[Avenger]

wow, i love Val but he just about made the worst play in NBA history, just **** horrible

and Amir Johnson is just dumb, nothing more to it, you can't improve brains, i don't even get frustrated at the **** he does.

[TCHOKE]

pattersons fear of the ball in the 4th was just disgusting... vazquez with his cross court passes
and the last second play inbounding towards the other teams basket like seriosly??
val with the stupid goaltend at end of game thank god lowry didnt tip that ball

[barrist]

Had the opportunity to crush Brooklyn's spirits to set ourselves up for an easier game 6 and we blew it. We won the battle but may have lost the war.

everyone needs to calm the **** down... we won the game. period... we dominated and showed why we're the better team... period... we melted down at the end but it was because of and 1 after and1 from 3, and joe johnson abusing our d... it's fine... we showed we're better... we almost choked, but WE DIDN'T... and that's the point... our key guys showed up at the end... IT'S OVER IN BROOKLYN! everyone needs to **** calm down.

SOrry this was not one of those "we won the game period" wins. This was a "we're goddamn lucky we avoided the most embarrassing loss in team history" win. Which isn't good.

[cammac]

Lowry & Jonas + Ross coming out of slump a bit only positives

[FrozenLeafz]

This was the single stupidest play I saw tonight, and that's saying a LOT seeing at the level of incredible stupidity clinic we got to see in the 4th. Whoever the Net was - Livingston I think - almost got that ball from T-Ross with time to score.

That's exactly it. It was almost picked off. I swear, why are these guys so stupid? Just throw it to the other side even if you have no one to pass to.

I guarantee Casey drew that up. No one is dumb enough to do that except Casey. I mean if we pass it to the right, even if they get the steal, they don't have time to get a shot off.

[overdose]

Amir needs to not be stupid

He's all heart but we need him to be at least a little bit brains

[RapsFanInOhio]

A win is a win is a win.

But wow.

[uniballer]

Momentum is in the Nets favor. They will come out like gangbusters. I don't see us winning game 6 at all. But here's hoping we re-group and regain our focus.

That's true... the other way I look at it is the 4th quarter was their final push and now they will fold. KG and pierce did not look happy on the bench to end the game

[BloodyNose]

leads get cut down often in the nba. While i was left feeling so nervous, it happens to the best of them.
