The cavs called a time out so that Lebron could talk to the refs.

Literally every thread where the Raptors are losing is just a bunch of whining about the refs.


More like every thread where LeBron isn't getting blown out people whine about the refs.
Only 7 Players in NBA history have 21,000 points, 5,750 assists and 5,750 rebounds. LeBron has double those numbers.

Gotta get JC out of there. May be best to have Calderon getting those minutes.

I have played couple decades basketball. Basketball is a contact sport you learn quite quickly to handle those hits. Sure those things sting, but that's it. LeBron fakes those injuries to get resting time, but as long rules allow players to rest during game and stall the game why shouldn't he use that advantage. It is a strange thing that once they added to international basketball a rule that if you stayed down for a certain time you were forced to swap that player out. This somehow reduced the amount of injuries by 90%.


Don't get me wrong, LeBron totally uses the max amount of time he can to rest even on the floor, but usually it's after a hit really was bad and he oversells it a bit.

But saying he flopped and that a full swing from an NBA player to the back of your head shouldn't hurt is just being stupid.


...how was it a full swing?! If a elbow hits your eyelash..you do go down like a bi***?


Because your eyelash being hit by an elbow is the equivalent of being elbowed to the back of your head by a 200 pound man who put full force on the swing trying to block your layup, while you weren't expecting.

Raptors learning in the 2nd half that if you are the aggressor, calls will go your way.

He’s a superstar on par with Lebron I guess
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars

Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

Toronto fans should be very happy with the way the game has been called tonight. That was a massive offensive foul they ignored which lead to a 3.

It's amazing how he's so clueless. Hill should've come in when Lowry checked in.
