All we needed was FVV our bench floor general.

He actually is the difference between inconsistent and solid which is sad that he is injured.

The Beal foul was the best thing to happen to the Wizards. Refs tried all 4th to make it up to them.

I can't believe the 1 seed is struggling so heavily against the 8th seed. I really thought this year was different.

The all stars just ain’t as good as theirs

Wall and Beal really stepped up, we can’t win by trying to out play backcourt vs backcourt

Hope fvv comes back soon and hope we can protect home court

Delon too. The offence broke down once he decided he's never going to shoot a 3 in the 4th.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

I'm not even mad. I wanted this team blown up last off-season, so whatever.
I'll look forward to the next iteration of the Raptors if they lose this series.

Referee will not blow whistle in the 4th. Pointless to draw fouls. Derozan needs to **** pass in the 4th. **** hero ball.. If you play hero ball, make sure you **** score..

Casey was so stupid this game. This idiot waits till they cut our 14 point lead to 2 to call the first timeout. Then isoball DeBrick showed up.
