refs definitely favored the raps this game, but you can understand the frustration now of the first 2 games. they come out the first 5 seconds in a playoff game and give fvv a touch foul in game 1... the refs come into the game knowing how they wanna call it. just cut the **** all together, stop marketing stars this way and you lose the problem

Hey guys can someone please respectfully tell Embiid to stop bitching about calls? Just make sure you tell him respectfully

The irony of Joel telling Nick to stop bitching about calls only for him to proceed and bitch even more :lol:

Moving forward, I'd like the Raptors to play Harden to shoot more. That slow ass step back over a contest is much harder than a layup or floater. He's also been looking to pass out of those a lot too so it just stagnates the offense if you let Harden take all the shots (and watch Embiid get frustrated by it)

I get not being in a good mood, but saying that a team with the ROY on it has a dim future seems kind of silly. It’s ok to think things out before posting.

he's just projecting....having to max out a washed old Harden is going to suck

Why would they want to extend a dead series? They just kept it tight and didn't go for much foul baiting on either side. That's an advantage for the Raptors.

i meant cut the favoritism in reffing all together, stop giving stars rep calls. call the game evenly as possible all the way through regardless of players/homecourt/down 20 etc... if you know what i mean. let a team get drummed by 50, let a team get swept. cut all the ****

Brother I’m just drinking my hard seltzers and chuckling at my notifications lighting up. A smart fan base would have seen my obvious trolling as containing compliments re: the Raps and self-deprecation re: the Sixers but you guys are not bright.

if you're specifically here to troll, give this thread (and this board) a skip.

First time in NBA history that a team has come back to win the series after being down 0-3, wow.

Interesting that he hasn't received a warning or anything for this. Just continues to gloat and spam the thread with his nonsense. I imagine a Raptor fan doing the same thing would get a week ban.

Mods?

Backseat moderating isn't tolerated on the GB. Report and go on with your day.
