Doncic game was pretty blatant.

Hey but that still was an impressive win.


exactly, NN is always getting slammed for playing the starters with big leads. if he had put lowry in up 17 with 5 minutes to go the whole board would have been ripping on him. he decided to ride his bench who were playing great and they totally choked. so he brought in the big guns and we won. considering Lowry, Serge and OG had 22 points on 8-27 shooting between them that's fine.

I wonder what Ibaka was so mad about when he got subbed out at the end. I have a feeling it was at RHJ for forcing that tough layup after getting the offensive reb when he should have ran out the clock. RHJ, TD and McCaw panicked there in the end.

Who else is he gonna play at that moment? It was an all bench lineup. If he brought FVV back, ya'll would complain that FVV was brought into a 'blowout' and was risking injury. Nurse trusted the bench that got the big lead. When it was obvious they couldnt handle the pressure, he brought FVV back in.

I don't want to see any trade proposals with Norm in them. We can't afford to lose him with how effective he has been off the bench.

Brutal ending to the game. What is Nurse doing? Didn't use his timeouts, tried to break a press with Hollis-Jefferson and McCaw as the ball handlers. Why is McCaw closing games? I'm going to kill myself if I see McCaw get the ball in the backcourt and act like it's his first game he's every played in his life again.

Are you serious? That lineup went on a 20-2 run to give us a 21-point lead with 4 minutes left. The players themselves were the ones who put Nurse in a bad situation after that because they let their foot off the pedal and started being careless with the ball. Davis turned the ball over once, McCaw turned the ball over once and Powell turned the ball over 3 times in a 2-minute span.

na bro, who tf cares about that. he is simply just saying that nurse has a sexual attraction for mccawful, period. We cant even fully embrace norm's brilliance this game cuz we almost choked thanks to the biggest scrub in the nba. FCKN JAKAR SAMPSON IS BETTER THAN THIS SHTHEAD

raptors played 3 games in the last 3.5 days. It's nothing concerning for them to run out of gas late in the 4th. The boys did great, give them all a break.

Raps win and every starter played under 30 minutes.

That's a win win.

I don't see McCaw being as bad as most as you. He did some good things in the second half I watched. He should not be used as the ball handler at the end of games when teams put the press on though. That is painfully clear. I guess NN is experimenting. He left the subs in too long. They looked gas.

Norm for first star.

so people going to be mad when Nurse plays the starters in a blowout.

people going to be mad when Nurse plays the bench and loses the lead

Nurse is not infallible, its that you guys are intolerable.
