PG: Wasted a Miracle

[cwalt5]

We lost this series.

[whoknows]

The playoffs has really exposed that the offense needs to be completely re-structured

It is free-flow ISO amateur offense, cannot restructure something that has no structure to start with...

[tsherkin]

If we get good game from Cory we probably win this game. Our bench got outplayed.

Not really. CoJo did well enough and he actually shot quite well from the field. He wasn't brilliant, but he and Ross did pretty well. 2Pat had a quiet, rough night, and of course we didn't run Biyombo with Jonas beasting. Powell normally comes off of the bench, but we started him.

Our problem is that all of that glorious ball movement from the first half dried up in the second half, and that Lowry is still about as rancid as week-old eggs which have been sitting in the sun, getting pissed on by cats, and Demar hasn't been able to put together consecutive strong performances.

[Kurtz]

Whiteside's not THAT bad of a FT shooter...

Yeh, this isn't a Drummond situation where Drum will shoot 30%. Whiteside will hit his 60%.

Remember in the 1st half when we looked so much better than Miami and we were moving the ball? My biggest fear whenever DD is having an off game is that he hits a couple shots in a row. Because you know the green light goes on in his brain. Ball movement dies, offense stagnates, Raptors lose.

I turned it off with 22 seconds left. Turned it back on when my friend said it was in OT. This felt like two losses to me. Also, I'm pretty sure I'm bad luck. Made a miracle comeback without me watching, and won Game 7nwithout me watching...

I left to get food and missed the buzzer beater, on my walk back I literally heard 5 separate neighbors screaming.

I wont lie

i left the game with 21 seconds left down 4
only to see on my phone on my way home that we were in OT, once i found a TV at boston pizza, i got to watch us down 6 with the replays of the ball slivering the rim for miami to keep possession

then i saw another typical raptors breakdown for a dwade easy 2

meh.

[Lord Eder]

Seriously, Miami was desperately trying to give this one away lol

[Wo1verine]

this team doesn't learn..just repeats the same crap over and over and over and over and over

Leave it to Casey. I can't believe he has legit supporters on the board still. It's embarrassing.

The kiss all but guaranteed him returning unfortunately.

It's one big happy family with little expectations, lol

[TheAlchemist]

Even if we had no lowry we could of won this one.

Our offensive game sucks balls.

[Clutch Carter]

Raps in the second round and the future has never looked bleaker with the holy trinity of DD/KL and Casey we're going nowhere. Such is Raptors life

[Dr Positivity]

Casey isn't throwing awful passes and missing good looks.

No, he just has his team playing an offense that has no structure.

When the defense gets tough, the Raptors have nothing to rely on.

We shot 5/21 on threes which is baaaad and actually went 35/68 on 2's which isn't really that bad. Start of OT, Miami goes Iso and hits 3 pretty tough shots, we miss similar shots. Once our offense clicks even somewhat we will be golden. Even tonight with our offense looking bad we nearly snuck away a win.

True but Miami will look better than this on offense too

[720]

JV
Patterson
Carroll
Powell
CoJo

Starters for next game, pls.

I want Powell back on the bench rotation. It was something that was effective, why change it.

[Flight33]

Lowry is currently Raptors worst player.

[Valanciunuts]

typical raptors losing game 1, this time it was just more heart breaking. Game 2 is a must win and must steal a win in Miami

Demar supporters in shambles tonight. We'll be so much better in the long term if we give Powell his minutes.

Ill be glad when hes gone. 5 ISO possessions run for him in overtime and was useless on all of them.

I have said this before Derozan is near useless in the half court especially the mollases slow half court Casey runs. Run and gun and Derozan is fine. Slow ball sucks for Demar. He cannot shift neutral to first. He's got Duck feet.

[Clutch0z24]

Lowry wont be back to Lowry this series ...DD looked more like himself tonight (Dribbling off his foot)...Our bench was trash tonight....Just JV is no match for D-Wade/Johnson/Dragic

WE ARE DONE

Goodnight

[Clementine9]

Also, JV with 41 minutes. Career high? Career game for his overall stat line?

[Jstock12]

We need another coach desperately... this team could be so much better even with Lowry playing like butt

Get David Blatt and run a legit offensive system for a change.

[NBJ13]

Polished wade, JJ, Deng, Dragic vs Sloppy Demar....

Kyle.... please find yourself.

[gp2015]

Miami looked like a composed, veteran team. I don't see how the Raptors can win more than two games without Lowry. DeMar and JV won't cut it against Miami.

Composed? They choked at the end of the 4th and OT.

Lucky for them, we just suck.
