I do think it is incredibly obnoxious to go and bring Canadian flags on the road. By all means, wear your colors and chear the Raptors, but having all this Canadian-centric crap is overdoing it.

 

Imagine Yankee fans bringing USA flags and chanting USA at Rogers Centre? Don't tell me you wouldn't question that.

 

I've never heard any Canada! chants in any American arena ever. You might have a point in that they're overdoing the Canadian thing, but all you normally hear is cheers for the Jays/Raptors and maybe the occasional Let's Go X! chant along with it.

Yeah 8-31 was a massive hole, and I knew of all the injuries, Quickley just got back and is on limited minutes, I think this is the first time the last 2 games with their full rotation, all of a sudde

Cool - that's reasonable enough.  However, after seeing the G-League lineup they played last night, I think I better wait until the start of the next season to go...

It might be the most shocking trade I've ever seen. Superstar for superstar and it came out of absolutely nowhere.

Yeah, the USA chants are just as egregious, I would never take a Canadian Flag to a game though, unless, you know, it's Team Canada playing, lol.

What the f*** are the refs doing? Jesus.

 

Aside from actually calling it a flagrant 1, I'm not sure the calls have been wrong. I'm sure they'll get worse though.

That travel on Biyombo looked like total bull, plus missing Lowry getting elbowed.

I picked a hell of a time to tune in. Utter horseshit ref show.

 

Yeah, definitely getting worse. We just have to take those 3's away. We're actually doing some nice things aside from that.

I have really developed a strong dislike for the Cavs this series.

 

They don't miss threes. And we have missed a ton, lots wide open

at least these last 2 games will bring biyombo's price down maybe

 

No it won't

Dunno why it's so somber in here. This was such a good year, especially since it feels like Demar isn't coming back.

People expected us to get swept. I guess we can't be too upset about going to game 6. Just too many missed shots tonight.

 

They won two games but it feels more like a sweep. 4 of of the 6 games they've been dominated.

Ugh, felt like they went away from doing what they did well in games 3 and 4, it's like JV had to get a certain amount of playing time allotted to him regardless of what he did out there. Edited by spittin

Great season. It would be nice if this thread can go 24 hours without complaints about needing to can Casey or toss DeRozan. 56 wins in a season and a conference final appearance is better than what most teams have done in recent memory.

I'm immensely proud of this Raptors team. What a great season. JV is a beast. Lowry has more heart than the entire Cavs and Raps teams combined. Losing always sucks, but this was a really great run.

No thanks.

 

 

I'll continue to bitch and moan about Casey until he's gone, even if hes extended for 5 years. A NBA coach playing favouritism with his rotation at this stage is unacceptable and he's done it every year he's been here.

 

DeRozan at least has good games here and there to make him passable

A coach ultimately doesn't make that much of a difference. Would a different coach push this team past game 6 of the ECF? I doubt it. If I had to choose between Casey and Derozan it would definately be Casey.

Congrats to the Toronto Raptors on a hell of a year!!! 2 wins away from the NBA finals certainly ain't bad.

 

 

 

It was a great year. Still a mile away though. But I really like the direction the club is going. Might even have to take a few steps back next year, but that might be the only path to the next level.

In this case of course not, the talent level on both teams determined the winner. It's more of the principle for me. DeRozan has physical limitations to what he can do on the court, I dont believe anyone actually believes he isnt giving it is all.

 

None of us can even come close to what DeRozan does every night, but we can all manage his rotations and short clock scenarios better than Casey.

 

That's the biggest problem I have, that casual fans could do parts of his job better than he can. There's only 30 HC jobs available every year, Casey doesnt deserve/should have one when he continues to get exposed
