Raptors Discussion: v72| ECQF | (1) Raptors vs (8) Wizards | Raptors win series 4-2 and advance to EC Semi-Finals

[Longshot]

Cavs are down 2-1 to the Pacers. The Raptors have a historic opportunity this year. They can't get bogged down by this team.

Can anybody explain what Beale was doing there? J-Val was whistled for an offensive foul, (to me) it looked like he was walking towards the official to give him the ball and Beale basically jumped on him trying to take the ball.

f***ing frustrating game.

 

[Longshot]

The officials just eliminated Lowry from the game.

lol no JV was just trolling. He did this to Boogie in the regular season.

Blow out

 

[Longshot]

Only hope now is to go small and start bombing.

 

[OmniSens]

This f***ing team is going nowhere if they keep turning the damn ball over. Especially not in the second round. Horrible showing tonight. Pack it up and bring it on Sunday.

 

[Jozay]

Raps playing trash right now.

Oh well, take the next one.

 

[Longshot]

So, should we be worried? Or is this the case of a team playing lights out with their season on the line?

Right now it's a 16-point game and the Raptors have been really bad and the Wizards shot the lights out in the third quarter. As bad as the Raptors have been, it's not like they got run over.

 

[donghabs98]

Washington exploited the Raps defense hard tonight. From open jumpers to driving to the hoop. The turnovers by the Raps also didn't help. Hopefully this is a nice wake up call

 

[Eyedea]

Oubre fouled DeRozan multiple times on that play, not a single call.

 

[Longshot]

I'm laughing my head off at these officials. DeRozan just got fouled about six times on the last possession. He finally scores. Ball comes up the court and an immediate foul on him.

 

[Longshot]

Not sure of the numbers, but it feels like Ibaka turned the ball over about 32 times tonight.

I am not too concerned. Many times a team that is down 0-2 will win game 3 at home. I'll be worried if Raps drop game 4.

No need to be worried. 19 turnovers wont happen again, bench probably wont play this bad again and they're on the road.

If they split they're in great position. If they lose both, they're still in a good position to win the series.

Well, losing both games on the road won't inspire much confidence in me in this team going forward.

 

[GWNR]

Really rough game for the Raps. You gotta expect desparation when you're down 2-0.

Huge game on Sunday. Clean up defending the Gortat screen on Wall and they'll be fine. Beal and Wall had horseshoes up their rear ends.

 

[Gargyn]

Sixers are winning the East anyways. Have to be the most dominant team since February. Can’t see anyone taking them out in the East.

 

[trellaine201]

I don't think anyone or very few people expected a sweep BUT its more about how they played.

Nah, they are having some difficulties with Miami.

Meh, they've shown they can protect home court.

 

[Suntouchable13]

I know, but you have to win on the road too. You think they will go unbeaten at home against teams like Philly, Cleveland, Indy, Boston, in the later rounds? Besides, you have to be able to win first round quickly. If this goes 7, do you really like their chances to advance all the way to the finals? I don't.

 

[Gargyn]

Nah, they are having some difficulties with Miami.

They blew the Heat out by 20 in Miami last night. And with Embiid back, that series is over. They will destroy the Celtics or Bucks. I just think that Sixers team is going to be dominant like the Cavs have been.

Yea, but that game was much closer. Philly just pulled away late. I still stand by my prediction of a Boston-Toronto ECF.
