He’s a very good defender


When he wants to , he is above average 1v1 defender. His awareness and help d is non existent.

She still wouldn't cry as much as him. The greatest player is also the greatest pansy.


Your daughter should play for the Raptors then. It sounds like she has more heart and gusto than any player on that roster.


She might hurt Lebron and Lebron might have to hire another ref on the payroll.

This is where bad reffing will turn this game into a crapshow of resentment. I get "allowing" the pressure defense as Raps are clearly trying to pester/hold/grab/jostle but at some point, if you're just gonna allow wrestling moves on both sides, you're gonna get butt hurt players.

And especially with TOR, if more calls stop going their way and the deficit doesn't go down, they're gonna get more desperate where someone is gonna do something stupid out of desperation. This kind of slap boxing almost reminds me of BOS/CLE in 2015 when KO ripped KLoves arm out...
Come at the king, you best not miss...

I like that...WHY NOT...they calling ticky tack fouls...might as well go hard and make the cavs feel it. DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT OR LOSE IN 4



I was more pissed that we weren’t being physical at all for the first two games than anything else. Make your fouls count I always say.


Hell yeah...i dont want the raptors to go down in 4...it just feeds into the narrative that the east is weak.

So you get to put words in my mouth but I can't with you? :lol: This discussion has gone on more than enough. I feel I've lost some brain cells just participating.


All I’ve said is call the game the same both ways. If James gets hacked, call it. But if siakam gets hacked, same call. Can we agree on that?

I think a huge part of it is on Casey. He allows them to accept excuses. I remember Doc in Boston set the tone of being a no excuse team....just get it done and everyone from KG to Rondo to Scalabrine even bought into it. This Raptors team would benefit from that type of attitude but they're the complete opposite and it's so obvious. And I've not only said this in their losses...I've said it in their wins too.

I sense a combination of refs and James are going to snake us in the 4th. The refs seem to have been told something by the league.

Nice rim protection there by the Cavs. Never thought I’d say that...

You're oblivious. JV/KL gets calls that LeBron doesn't get. Cavs fans aren't here whining. They know calls are subjective and will go against them. For you to have this kind of hissy fit says a lot about your mentality.

:lol:

You're just like the other guy at 5'8 that said he'd defend LeBron.

Please, NBA players get more contact and hits in a game than you'll ever get in your life. These are all over 6 feet dudes and most are around 200+ pounds.

Well, at least he said he would TRY to guard, not that he would.

I hope someone does rip his arm out. Lebron teams are built on complaining. Its sickening

I like the way JV plays...he goes hard every game no matter what. He appears to care and I like how he still plays Big...in this league of soft big men...

Okay, let’s get back to basics. Yes or no. Should both teams be called the same way?
