NBA Toronto Raptors thread

[Cloned]

What a team. Haven't even played great the last 2 games but finding ways to win.

Watching the Pacers game reminded me so much of watching the Raps play the Cavs/other true top tier teams the last few years, except the Raps were the top tier team this time.

Sad to see the refs ruin a game of the season candidate.

That was horrible but as Rap fans were kinda use to it. Casey should just accept the fine and absolutely rip the refs after this one

Lowry deserved the last foul. Clear moving pick. The one before that was questionable though.

I love Jack and the enthusiasm he brings but he is such a homer it makes it tough to listen to anything he has to say about the Raptors.

He is great on the NCAA basketball coverage where he is a homer for everyone though.

 

[Baxterman]

Sorry to say this but Matt Devlin is a trash announcer.

He is god awful and one of the worst guys out there in any sport. The fact that he is a homer beyond belief makes it that much worse.

I am not sure if all home NBA broadcasts are as bad as the Raps but the homerism from the Raptors PBP and other media guys is disgusting. Its not even worth listening to anything these guys or media guys like Doug Smith, Michael grange, Paul Jones say seriously because they are all such terrible Raptor homers.

Probably just like Brewer’s last foul on Derozan wasnt called. The Raps arent respected by the refs, so even if they outwork the opposing team they always seem to get the short end of the stick. Its getting pretty frustrating especially since they are one of the top 5 teams in the league

The 5th was a terrible call and so was the non call on DD shot. The 6th foul was a call they made all night. I'll give them that one.

It's not a national broadcast (well, outside of Canada), lol. Hardly out of the ordinary for homerism. It's what makes Matty D good. It's also what makes him bad.

So.... Raptors play the almighty media anointed Cavs tomorrow.

Kinda feels like a no win situation for Toronto.

Lose to Cavs, LOL RAPTORS LEBRON OWNS YOU

Beat Cavs, IT’S ONLY THE REGULAR SEASON THIS AIN’T PLAYOFF LEBRON

 

[Basement Cat]

Is DeRozan playing tonight?

 

[King Mapes]

Honestly glad Cavs beat us. I want them to grab the 3rd seed.

They were missing 4 of their starters.

What's your point? We beat them by 30 with their regulars, too.

You are in for a huge let down.

 

[Stylizer1]

"Tough night for him offensively, going against bigger bodies," Casey said of DeRozan.

That sounds very familiar.

 

[King Mapes]

I'm merely pointing out you bring up them beating us without regulars yet, conveniently, ignore the fact we've destroyed them too.

Players having bad games? Yeah familiar. If it was a good game, it doesn't count it's only the regular season.

DeRozan lacks consistency in his game.

Try harder, bro! You gotta change it up, you're doing it wrong

 

[King Mapes]

So DeRozan is not supposed to have good games? He's not supposed to be a good player? What are you even trying to complain about? I have yet to hear anyone refute what I said about his playoff performances. Instead of looking for reasons to get upset about a topic why not just explain yourself why you disagree?

This is a quote after that godly performance in the OT win, yet after a bad game... there you are.

taking a quote out of context doesn't prove anything.

Since Christmas The Raptors were hitting their stride and now going into the Playoffs they are starting to dip. DeRozan has been having some terrible shooting nights of late and there seems to be no more talk of how he spent the offseason working on his three's. He's had many bad games I could have commented on and didn't. Don't take it so personal.

Not taking it personal at all. Just proving you really have a hate on for him. When he plays good "it's just the regular season". When he plays bad it's "here's playoff Derozan". Make up your mind. Either the regular season means something or it doesn't.

Raps bench is something else. They are outplaying the Nuggets starters pretty bad
