I can't believe we wasted FVV's career playoff performance. Huge 5 points. We really let him down.

 

[garce]

What’s the hockey equivalent of this lead 3 goals?

 

[robertmac43]

Deserve ain't got nothing to do with it. You doubted my take about how good the Bucks bench was. Well they are the reason this series will be over in 5.

After 3 quarters Bucks bench has 41 points.

I didn't doubt the Bucks bench was good, I know the bench is good. I did however say that their bench would not beat the Raptors starting 5 which was the comparison you were making.

Also the Raptors definitely do deserve to have their fans keep believing after the series has not even come back home yet.

Nurse is getting out coached.

Players needed to take the ball to the rim rearly to get them in foul trouble. You have to make them make substitutions.

Bucks subs are as good as their starters.

 

[Flash20]

Huh? Raps wouldn't have made it past the 76ers without Leonard.

And this was your only opportunity to get to the finals with him

Everyone knows what he did vs the 76ers this is about Championships not series wins

Only losing teams remember those accomplishments I’m sorry

 

[Stylizer1]

VV is too short to do anything in this series. Lin is at least 6'3 and thinks score first.

Cool, thanks for dropping by.

Who are you? Donald Trump??? Go reread my original post. I said the the Bucks 2nd five would keep it "reasonably close" against the Raps starters. And they have.

Sometimes the Leafs, Raps and Jays get your hopes up to only completely break your heart. I have never seen these teams that I follow play for a championship. I am just frustrated watching this shit to the point where I am almost about to say f*** sports. I am sick of these teams breaking my heart. It's tough, man.

I was fortunate enough to watch the Blue Jays win back to back championships.
Damn dude, that sucks.

As for tonight, missed opportunity.
Was not prepared for this game at all.

 

[McDeepika]

TNT guys have been mentioning it but Powell has to take greens minutes. Just a way better athlete which we need against the bucks.

 

[ClarkSittler]

The Bucks dominated this game from start to finish.

Raptors will be lucky to get a win this series.

So much for all the hype these last few years couldn't even win a Conference finals, let alone a Championship.

Reminds me of another Toronto team.

 

[GoodKiwi]

It's just so difficult to remain level-headed as a recent fan of this team after watching all these playoff failures over the last 5 or so years. I understand I'm using the term "failure" loosely, but it's infuriating not seeing the team take the next step in the playoffs over and over.

 

[LaPlante94]

Lin needs to take FVV minutes. Can actually run an offence and can't be any worse.

I have no clue why Nurse does not run Lin early in games. Wouldn’t hurt now since they are down 2-0

Whoa whoa whoa, let's not bring in old Donald Trump here. I did mis-read it, my bad. Still don't think it would be close if you picked any combination of the 5 bench players of the Bucks and put them against the starting lineup of the Raptors. I also do not think that is a far out there thing to say, in the slightest!

Should've been doing it since the Sixers series. I'm curious what our offence would look like with both Lin and Lowry on the floor.

 

[The Shadow]

They are who we thought they were

 

[Eyedea]

Yeah, a top 4 team in the league.

Problem is Lin sucks on D. Everyone blows by him like he is always expecting help. Still I think he is better offensively compared to FVV.

Lin has been crap since he joined the Raptors.

 

[yvrtojfk]

What a let down game. I have some faith they can pull out a W on Sunday. One game at a time.

 

[trellaine201]

Does anyone know if our shooting percentage has been worse in the playoffs compared to regular season? and if so i wonder what the numbers are

 

[EpochLink]

I was expecting a bounce back game from game 1 but this was just disastrous.
We came out flat and it lingered through out the game...I fully expect a packed house for game 3 as it's all hands on deck to get back in this series.
