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

[Eyedea]

Bench has been having a tough time controlling the game. Need some JV and Ibaka.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Are we going to survive with this lineup?

 

[McDeepika]

Get Nogueria out of there Casey

 

[Eyedea]

Bebe is not supposed to get blocked by Wall

 

[Jozay]

quite the choke we are witnessing

 

[Thread The Needle]

Someone needs to perform the Heimlich on the Raptors quick.

 

[Alerion]

Wall is getting into the paint too easily again, similar to the first half of Game 1. Keep him in the perimeter and we win.

 

[TMLeafer]

Serge with the block!

The hustle, Delon DUNK!

 

[Eyedea]

Don't call them the trash bros

 

[OmniSens]

Alright, that was sick.

 

[McDeepika]

I was pretty scared when Wizards cut it to 5. That Miles 3 was huge. Him and Ibaka have been great 2 games in a row. Ibaka matches up really well with Beal on the perimeter.

Please stay attached to Mike Scott in Washington.

Did Bradley Beal clear Canadian border customs? Barely noticed him.

Emphasis on almost.

Like game 7 against the Pacers when Indiana made it interesting late, close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

 

[MapleLeafistan]

Up 2-0. If they win game 3 it'll be a sweep.

 

[La Masse]

This series will not go longer then 5 games . Ill give them one because Wall or Beal will probably have a great game

By 5 I think you meant to say 4.

Its tough to beat a team 4 straight thats why I gave them a game

 

[Stylizer1]

Raps did what they were supposed to do. Now they need to at least get the split in WAS if not sweep them.

It's the playoffs. Most teams are gonna punch back. Cavs brought it right back against the Pacers too for a bit. Not in that game or in this one did I feel the game was at serious risk. Great win tonight

Exactly.

And basketball is a game of runs. One team misses a few shots and the other teams makes a few shots and you have a point swing.

In the end, the Raptors won by 11 and were never really in trouble.

Their inexperience was quite evident tonight but it's something that is bound to happen. I expect them to get better as the playoffs progress.

I've been very impressed with the starting 5. Demar and Lowry have come ready to shake off the perceptions of their playoff past. JV has been a monster at both ends of the court same with OG and Ibaka is coming up big defensively. Shoutout to Miles and Wright for their play coming off the bench too.

While it was worrisome that Washington mounted a bit of a comeback, frankly that should have been expected because they are not as bad as they showed in the first half. Anywho the Raps are still the better team and just need to keep the offense coming like the first two games.

bebe needs to gtfo...hes atrocious. casey has really evolved this year, but why in holy hell he had that lineup in late in the 4th (bebe and brown, really???) was beyond me...hes terrible with his rotations. its the playoffs. i get that you want to keep playing the bench and im down with that, but when they are playing that badly the starters should be going right back in. casey almost lost us that game. anyways go raps!

 

[Suntouchable13]

If they will lose 1 in Washington, I'd rather it be game 4. I wouldn't want to give them a chance to tie the series in game 4.
