Disagree. KyLo has been Toronto's best player the last two playoffs. I expect him to once again step up his game this postseason.

That really doesn’t mean anything. He was one of Toronto’s two best players and DeRozan is a perennial choker. So of course Lowry was better.

He’s a non-factor shooting the ball this season. He’s fine distributing, but he’s not a threat to score.

I'm rooting for the Nets, Raptors, and Sixers. I'd love to see the East win it all.

I prefer the team moving the ball around with more people getting shots than relying on Lowry and Defrozen. He just needs to find that sweet spot where he is shooting just enough to help and not be a black hole.

Yeah keep defending Lowry everyone. He’s been a f***ing joke all season.

All I keep hearing 'HE WAS PLUS 11'...

Yeah great but that doesn't mean **** if you can't score.
Laying a flat out ZERO points in a playoff game, one of the highest paid players on the team and a 5 time all star..you show up and do that?!

Unacceptable, especially since the Raptors are Lebron free in the Eastern Conference it was there time to shine and show everyone they can pull it off.

If there's another "Lakers over Sacramento"-type of screwjob in the works to keep the Raps out and maintain that all-American ratings bonanza, you can be sure the league will hear about it from those of us north of the border. :laugh:
biggest refereeing crisis in Canada since the Montreal screwjob :laugh: :sarcasm:

Always felt like Lowry was the issue and not DeRo.

If Toronto fizzles out yet again in this year's playoffs, Masai has a lot of work to do.....unless he gets shown the door as well.

I definitely agree that Lowry's performance was not acceptable. I thought he had turned a corner last postseason. He shot 50% I believe

I love how everyone overreacted to a game 1 loss and not a peep from anyone since.

Not a big basketball fan but watch from time to time. NBA officials are the worst of all professional sport. Christ WWE officials are more aware. These jackasses miss calls all over the court and then call phantom calls on the tiniest touches and they always look so stunned like they don't understand what happened or can't explain it to the coaches. I would hate to be an NBA coach as would punch one of these fools.

You Toronto fans ready for your team to take another big series L? First the Leafs to the Bruins (again). Next the Raptors (again).

LeBron is typically the Raptors' boogeyman, now it's Jimmy Buckets, Embiid and Ben Simmons.

Trust the process.

Trust the process? You mean like when you guys fired the GM who made this all possible half-way through the "process"?

Doesn't seem like there was much "trust" at all.

You mean the GM the NBA was "embarrassed" by even though teams were tanking for years just not as open about, so they forced the Colangelos upon the team, to the point where said GM resigned because he was being undermined?

Hinkie wasn’t fired. The league forced Jerry Colangelo on us, then he brought in his boy, and Hinkie said “seeya”. Can’t blame him. If the league had stayed out of it Hinkie might very well still be the GM.
