PG: Lowry is dumpster juice, Raptors secure the L.

[Clay Davis]

Kyle's not healthy- left bench and went to the locker room 3 times.

Maybe he has the runs so whenever he takes a shot he has to clench his buttcheeks, further aggravating his bad back.

That last 3 Lopez hit, Jack was dead silent. I don't know if he was shocked or pissed lol.

During the Philly game last Wednesday, Breen commented on how loud the Raptors fans were. His statements were based on what his ears were hearing at that moment and not on what he saw in Jurassic Park in the past. That was a regular season game in early December 2018.

Can confirm. It was pretty loud last night too. If swearing was acceptable it would have been far louder.

People need to stop thinking the TV volume or broadcast produced volume is any indicator.

But, but RealGMers can confirm that crowds in Utah, OKC and Portland are super loud for a full 2 hours based on what they hear on TV - yet Raps games are dead.

Great insight - did Mike Breen give you that Zinger?

Here are the facts
1) We are only two of the 16 playoff teams right now with a worse record at home vs away. Either statistically we are playing much easier teams on the road or our crowd is morphing into Orlando's crowd.

2) Our own Matt Devlin said the crowd was quiet

3) Ibaka had to induce the crowd to get them going in the fourth.

Of course, you know better and we know less, because a random American announcer told you otherwise and because you say so. Great.

I was at the game and I know it was LOUD. Others at the game posted the same thing. In case you missed it here is someone else's take who was at the game.

Ibaka did NOT have to induce the crowd. They were already LOUD. His gestures made us louder. The Raptors did NOT lose because of the crowd.

But sure, you know better from home or were you in line at Tim's?

And your Orlando comparison is plain silly.

Plus I think TSN and Sportsnet reduce the crowd noise by a fair amount, and it still sounded pretty loud at times, it's not soccer, NBA crowds ain't gonna cheer for the whole game (maybe if it's the playoffs). I thought it was good.

You guys are insane. Lowry is no doubt in a shooting slump but he hasn't been really been a net negative because his play making and defense are still stellar.
Those full bench lineups are what lost us the game. JV was -9, Wright was -14, CJ -14 and OG -16. Our bench has been insanely terrible this season.

A big burly centre hitting stepback 3's goes against everything Jack knows about basketball lmfao. Like finding out Santa isn't real (sorry Geddy).

I’m glad the Lowry/Derozan era almost coming to an end.

Hated his attitude for the longest time

Read the thread finally. You've made of the worst posts in it and that's a real challenge. Congrats.

Oh shut up lol.

Who even has time to read an entire thread

[RonaldArtest]

This place would be amazing if we hit something like a 5 game losing streak. Don't get me wrong, I'd hate to go on a run like that as a fan of the team, but this board right here would be so incredibly entertaining. It's the one silver lining from losing.

That's past tense ... as in ....I read the thread finally. I'll cut you slack and assume this was OCS induced.

Missed 2nd half, seemed like a game where Lopez was killing it, twinswitch

No. The story of the game was that a multiple time all star scored 0 points

:thumbs up:

The 5 man lineup of JV, OG, CJ, Delon and VV was -13 being outscored 20-7 over 6 minutes. I think Nurse was trying to get them more minutes together to get chemistry going and it didn't work at all.

VV was also part of our best lineup with the starters (minus Pascal) which was +16 in 12 minutes.

It took our bench being worse than their usual ineffective self, Lowry having the worst shooting night of his career and Brook Curry for the Bucks to beat the Raptors in the last minute.

Panacing is the logical course of action according this forum.

Question for you all.....on something I found very odd at the end of the Bucks/Raps game Sunday:

After the Brogdon 3 that put the Bucks up 5, did it bother anyone on here that Kawhi literally just dribbled the ball up and didn't even try to make something happen? It's like he resigned to taking the L and didn't even give anyone a chance to make a miracle happen.

I even saw Danny Green waving him to hurry it up...he literally just dribbled out the clock.

Even though our chances of coming back were slim, it did stick out. If he shot it, missed it, and somehow got his own rebound and didn't shoot it with 4 seconds left? That's a different story, because he at least tried once. The Anthony Parker 3 pointer to tie it against Washington all those years ago, we were down 4 with only 10 seconds remaining. Moon grabbed the rebound, and made a 3 pointer with only 3 seconds left and us trailing only by 1. We fouled, they made both free throws, and Parker hits that insane shot.

Different circumstances here being down by 5, but why not at least try? You make a 3, you're down by 2 now, and we send them to the line, but they can still 1, or if we're lucky 2. I'm not going to call him a quitter for it or that it's a sign he doesn't care about this franchise and is leaving, but still, I thought it was a bit bizarre.

Bucks had no timeouts..... So you make a quick 2 even, you're down 3, and you've at least given yourself a chance to guard the inbound pass knowing full well they can't take a timeout. Maybe you get a steal, maybe you get a violation....who knows.

I was so confused why he quit there.
