Not really a Harden fan, but his stepback threes (or in this case, sidestep three) are filthy.

I like the Raptors as a team, but man, they have some sensitive, defensive fans.

Arguing about refs is just sticky-business in general, no leaves a winner in that type of argument.

Suns are a great team, but their fans complaining about lack of FT's? Is this real life?

A 3rd of the shots they took were threes. The raptors were attacking the rim all game and the refs were letting A LOT go. Any objective observer would agree.

Of course the Raps got to the line more often, it's simple math.

Anyways, what a game. Those Suns can get hot FAST.

I knew The Raps weren't just going to steamroll them in the 4th. Not surprised at all it got close and went down like it did.

Raps move to 12-2 now. Amazing.

I was hoping there would be another good game on. All I see is really good teams playing really bad teams.

Pacers still underrated. They probably make the playoffs with Hill, West and Hibbert back.

If they get George back in March or so they could make some noise.

how can the suns NOT expect to be beat in free throws ?

in that category derozan ranks 5th, lowry 18th, Williams 37, valanciunas 53
phoenix has Thomas 21st, Bledsoe 40th, green 101, dragic 120

Toronto players actually go inside and draw fouls.

You have to be kidding....

If it wasn't a foul, it was definitely a timeout. Somehow it ends up being a jumpball. Raptors go up by 4, instead of potential tie. So, yes... Toronto Reftors this game. Don't even try to say it was called evenly in the beginning of the game either. Valanciunas was going over backs all over the place, but both Suns' centers were taken out of the game with ticky-tack foul calls. Call games both ways... I ain't even mad, though. Suns played with a lot of heart there.

I missed the beginning of this one, but I have seen that happen before in Raptor home games.

But there is no denying its a good team. Might not have the big name stars, but they are deep. There isn't a moment rest throughout a game for the other team. And they play really nice defense. Crappy.

Lowry is the perfect fit for them at PG.

The GM did a good job designing that team. They aren't going to quit thats for sure. If you want to beat them, you better bring it the entire game and you better have a bench.

Guarded by Harden and you shoot a fadeaway. Post him damnit.

I'd rather my team chuck all game, than get some imaginary calls by refs all game long. If Suns got just some of the calls, maybe they wouldn't need to shoot threes the whole time. But i guess it's normal that home team gets three times more free throws than the other team...

The Raptors getting calls from the refs? Have you watched the NBA at all in the past 10 years? Why would they want to help a team that isn't even part of their country /semigreenfont

Lol are you kidding. Kyle lowry completely got the ball not to mention amir johnson came in. In fact, not only should it have been a jump ball, amir should have been jumping instead of lowry.

And dont even get me started on all the non-calls. Kyle lowry got murdered by tucker and morris a couple of times and didnt get called. Goes both ways bud

Post a gif if you have it.

I didnt see that. I saw IT with the ball and then amir flying into the pile. Most would call that a foul right there. But even after that I saw IT with the ball turned up on his back calling a TO.

But it was a jump :nonono:

Just saying what I saw. Neither team is my team.

That jump ball was in IT hands. I didnt see a TOR player with the ball there.

Lowry tipped it out. Sure. But he never had it. IT grabbed it and spun. Then some TOR player came diving over the top of the pile. That should have been a foul right there.

TOR still deserved to win. They played a more sound game. Got the lead. Absorbed the run. Made plays down the stretch.

Actually, I would even like to see that out of bounds on the baseline again. He got bodied pretty good and I never actually saw his foot go out. Not saying it didnt. I just didnt see it.

Maybe it was just me not seeing a good angle of that possession. I saw Lowry get a good deflection, dive on the ground for the ball, then a bunch of players on top of each other.

Are you talking about the last play with Green in your last paragraph? They refs reviewed it. They showed a replay on my feed, and he just threw it out of bounds with no one touching him.

So didnt step out. He just lost the ball ?

melo's injury actually breathed some life into the knicks.....rockets had to hang on.

I have $60 riding on Houston winning by 7 or more, so this is huge for me and that they play defense at the end!

Greens last two turnovers were a hook on ppat and the ball slipping out of his hands at the end

WHAT THE **** ARE THE REFS DOING? THE KNICKS WERE INTENTIONALLY FOULING AND THEY DIDN"T CALL ANYTHING! **** ME THEY COST ME $60...... Cock heads.

That was bad by Ken Mauer and company. The game wasn't over and were fouling.

Still not sure why we didn't force feed Val to the tune of 40 points.

They might just need some time.

But they need to be careful not to overpay Goran Dragic.

They just need to go steady as she goes. Let they stew simmer a little longer.

Why would it be a foul?? Everyone just jumped for the loose ball. The ball was loose when lowry and thomas went down first. Which caused amir to jump in. Your arguing about a baseless thing. Not even close to a foul.
