PG: Raps avoid epic meltdown, take series lead.

On the bright side, TRoss played a respectable game. Hope it carries forward.

Casey is so stupid one game he plays Jonas 12 minutes 1st quarter and he gets tired.
Today plays him 22 minutes disgusting the guy doesn't have a clue.
Yes we are dummies not fit to coach but it is obvious to everyone Casey is less perceptive than most of the forum.
Think everyone was saying God no when he inserted Hayes.
Plus he doesn't know when to call timeouts.
All Casey can do is react never force the other coach to react except in laughter.

I laugh at your posts all the time because on forums greenfont is sarcasm and I can not tell if you are being sarcastic or not.
We shouldn't be proud about barely holding on to what should've been the biggest playoff win in the history of the Raptors.
The raptors put on bench players, let off the gas, and are entirely to blame for the collapse.

It's probably her birthday or their anniversary or something lmao.

Man I can see it already.

Guy got playoff Raptor tickets for their "anniversary", when really he just wanted to go to the game, so killed two birds with one stone. Unfortunately for her she hadn't realized just how big of a fan her bf/husband was, and ended up being ignored the whole game.

Is he getting paid to throw the game?

Yeah he has been trash all series especially on defense. Almost reminds me of Bargnani with the way he rotates so slowly or misses rotations completely.

Yeah more than a couple time he was no where to be found and his man was WIDE open for a 3

Probably some rich kid who coaxed a good looking girl to go to the game with him because he had two tickets. The girl saw it as a friendly outing while he saw it as a date and so she didn't reciprocate.

The more I look at this, the more I realize she DID NOT like it at all.

You underestimate Anderson defense. The guy is pretty good perimeter defense. PP at this stage can not cover any perimeter players. The success of the Nets has being when they put at the 4.

They came back with Deron/JJ/Anderson/Merze/Blatche lineup. Non experts will say experience of Nets was key, Deron/JJ are known for their flops in playoffs + the rest of that lineup has barely any playoff PT.

I'm hoping Anderson/Merze blew all their load 2nite and have nothing left on Friday.

Hopefully Mona takes care of that.

Dude relax. this is a serious issue, not just for the Raptors but any team, case in point: Spurs were up 3-1 against the Lakers (2004), up 20+ points in game 4 only to see the Lakers come back and win by a single point, and then they lost the remainder of the series. Basketball is a game of runs and momentum, and we blew this game pretty hard, fans have a right to question the coach and team.

the key is BROOKLYN DIDN'T WIN. WE DID. IF WE HAD LOST, I WOULD'VE FELT THE SERIES MIGHT BE OVER.

I admire your passion, and seriously hope we ride this thing all the way, but there are BIG reasons for concerns, Brooklyn is a team filled with veterans and the more they learn to make these 20+ pt come backs, the more difficult it becomes to close out the series because it means they are figuring out our team with each play. With that said, I seriously hope this was a one time thing, Casey shouldn't be a lock to come back next year, he`s got serious issues, but I support his overall body of work at the end of the day.

why do you keep saying theyre figuring out our team with each play??? WE'VE PLAYED THEM 5 TIMES IN A ROW! WE'VE PLAYED THEM 9 TIMES IN TOTAL THIS SEASON. EVERYONES ALREADY FIGURED EACH OTHER OUT! if the nets were so good, they wouldn't have gotten down by 26 in the first place! IT TOOK A BUNCH OF MIRACLE 3 AND 1 CALLS FROM THE REFS AND JOE JOHNSON DESTRUCTION TO GET THEM BACK IN THE GAME... And guess what? THEY STILL LOST! get over it man... seriously, fans need to wake the hell up... like i said, i hope none of these players have this mentality...... it's ridiculous...

Casey decided to put in another weird rotation. Over confident? The players were sitting watching a 20 + point lead disintergrate

People hating on Patterson and Amir need to remember without their D and hustle in Game 4 we wouldn't be up 3-2 in this series ....

Yes we made mistakes, yes we blew a big lead, yes we fouled way too much in the 4th, but we also came together, focused and got the very tough win.

If we had won the game tonight in a blowout we may have gone into Brooklyn over confident and blew it. The way we won though will keep the Raptors focused and hungry.

I can't wait to see how the Raptors respond to almost being embarrassed on their home court.

This game was like one from the Grizzlies vs OKC series. Bend but don't break. I don't know if it's better or worse than a blowout, but I'm glad we won.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go have a heart attack.

But most of their veterans were on the bench in the 4th.

The 3 most valuable pieces in that come back were Johnson, Teletovich (spelling?) and Anderson, all veteran players in their 30's.

We always have a lapse just when we rest our starters and just before we have enough fouls to start shooting free throws . We need more scoring . And that was awesome that brook lin chant from the fans .

Amir was a little reckless there but Anderson's leg's actually jumped forward and initiated the contact. Lowry did the exact same thing in Sacramento this year and was called for the offensive call.

Lost in all of this is that the girl wasn't wearing her Raps shirt. He should be the one doing the turning down.
