Was that a record for most fouls on a 3 pointer in a quarter before?

I still cant believe jj was still in the game with foul trouble and we didnt attack him to force him out of the game.

Re: PG: Raps avoid epic meltdown, take series lead.
Brooklyn shouldn't even come close to having the oppurtunity to score 44 points even if they score every single posession they have if you manage the clock properly on our end. Nope. Long twos and threes early in the clock as guys started looking for "Theirs" cause they thought the game was already won.
If Casey can't get his guys to slow the game down and keep Brooklyn from even having a chance to score that many, he's a moronic coach.
**** just pound the rock and run the clock. The most they could score would probably be in the low 30s.
Also WHY is Hayes playing instead of Tyler? Is Tyler hurt?
If Casey starts up with that typical "Vets deserve the minutes, the young guys will get theirs in the future" coach crap, I'll personally deck him.

The good thing? There's no way we can foul that many 3 point shooters next game. I hope

This. Why the hell would you foul Anderson on that 3 pointer? We were up 5.

Nets also blew a big lead in game 3.
The main thing is we busted out a win and we are up 3-2.
Lets celebrate that. Im sure there will be lots of talk within the coaches and players about the 4th
Exactky this, but i must admit i was ready to unleash hell

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
The Nets lost the game...
I don't see how a late 4th quarter run to tie the game gives them all the momentum, in a game we won? That's not really the way it works.

We would've had all the momentum in the world if we somewhat blew brooklyn out. But ill still take this win.

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.
CAN PEOPLE STOP FOCUSING ON THE NEGATIVES! WE WON THE GAME. WE'RE UP 3-2! WE'VE SHOWN WE CAN DOMINATE. YES, ALL THAT MATTERS IS WE WON! JUST LIKE ALL THAT MATTERED IN GAME 2 IS WE BLEW IT AT THE END! that's it... it's 3-2... the raptors showed theyre better... theyve controlled the past 2 games and have shown why theyre better... get over it... I HOPE NONE OF THE RAPTORS HAVE YOUR MENTALITY! THEY SHOULDN'T! THEY SHOULD STAY FOCUSED, FIGURE OUT WHAT WENT WRONG BUT GO INTO BROOKLYN KNOWING THEY CAN DESTROY THEM AT WILL IF THEY FOCUS. jeez man... this attitude is embarassing.

Johnson killed us again. Salmons is the best defender we have for him and has done an outstanding job. Only idiots are blind to this fact.

We have some of the dumbest players I've ever seen. Some of those decisions were horrible. Wow.

A win is a WIN. Good experience for the Raps. Only sucks that it might give New Jersey some confidence. Gotta fight like no tomorrow on Friday. We cannot have a game 7. Lowry is busted up. He gave his all this game. Hopefully he recovers quick.
