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.

Every time... every damn time...

No matter what happens, Raptors just have to give them a chance to come back, and give us all a chance to have a heart attack...

:banghead:

Thank Jeebus/Allah/Yahweh/Buddha/Lucifer/Krishna/Gandhi for the one and only.... Kyle Lowry...

...and thank them all that Demar hit those shots near the end too and we have Vasquez...

I aged a year because of the final 2 minutes of that game.

So much idiocy. That's not even taking into account the idiocy that happened throughout the entire 4th quarter.

this was similar to game 3, when raps came back from 15 in the 4th, but lost at the end. I just hope the outcome of the next game is different.

BRkLN can study how easy it was to walk into our paint and score.

But you right. I'm sure they ain't celebrating right now


seriously? we've played them 5 games straight... they already know our weaknesses and we know theirs... the point is we're still better...

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.


To be fair that was something that we knew he would struggle with - Joe Johnson or otherwise. But, damn the amount of stupidity in the 4th quarter. Amir's foul, dumb inbounds pass...shake my head.

Reporting in, Well Raptors are now 3-0 in the playoffs when I dont watch though they had to avoid an epic collapse. :)

I find it kind of sad that my superstition for this game involves me being a jinx and I should try to avoid the Raptors during game time :(

Also anyone find it crazy that for all 5 games, if not 4, the spread was covered? Refs doing work. :o

I have nothing against Salmons or Hayes they are what they are and everyone on this board knows there flaws and tendencies. I totally blame Casey for putting them in a position to fail. He has been doing this all year.

This should have been a 30 point blow-out

I was ready to punch a hole through the screen if they fouled another 3-point shooter! Win or no win, that was the worst f*****g 4th quarter effort all season long. :banghead:

Why would the Nets have confidence they are the favorite here, they lost 2 game in a row vs a young inexperienced Raptors squad. WE should have all the confidence in the world.

Teletovic had way too many wide open 3's too. If Fields is healthy he's gotta be in there for Salmons. Salmons makes his minutes count -15 in 12 minutes.
