Guys watch out the sky is falling!!!!! Watch out!!!

There were some alarming signs in games 3 and 4. Raps could have easily been up 3-1 if they cut down on the boneheaded turnovers. It was sickening/nauseating watching what happened in the last 2 games when they could have stepped on their throats. In my opinion, winning the next 2 games is a must. Don't rely on your home court advantage only. Winning teams win playoff games on the road. Win tonight and finish them off on the road by playing a sound road game.

JV needs to play more IMO.

I believe out of any sport basketball home advantage holds true. It is not surprising at all that there have been no sweeps yet in the NBA playoffs. Its a more intimate setting then hockey or football or baseball. Its louder.

True, but the good teams are up 3-1, or already won. Houston is probably going to wrap it up tonight, and GS already won because they won games on the road. Philly won. Come on. The way they played on the road was unacceptable. You think they will win every home game in the playoffs? No, it ain't gonna happen so they will have to go into hostile arenas and win games there. They were just fine on the road in the regular season.

 

[BlueForever75]

We will be fine. People just need to relax. They will win it in 6 and you will get the away victory.

how the hell did fred vv screw up his shoulder so badly???

he is out again for tonight's game..

 

[McDeepika]

Siakam/Poeltl have been so underwhelming these playoffs. Aren't playing with nearly the same poise they showed in the regular season.

 

[Longshot]

I'm really starting to get an unlucky feeling about this game/series.

 

[Eyedea]

An absurd amount of offensive rebounds given up to start the game.

 

[McDeepika]

Defense was very good. Still wish Derozan would put some effort into that side of the ball. Some bad calls kept the Wizards in it at the end of that half.

Offense needs to be better.

 

[Longshot]

I'm really, really feeling unlucky about this one. Has the the hallmarks of: "Wizards hang around and hang around and then win it in the 4th."

 

[The Nemesis]

Refs have been garbage this game. Missed calls and inconsistency abound.

 

[McDeepika]

If there was ever a time for the bench mob to bring it, this is it.

 

[Stylizer1]

It is time For DeRozan to earn his money. 4th quarter baby.

 

[Longshot]

FFS do the Wizards ever miss a jumper? I mean, c'mon.

 

[McDeepika]

Lol at letting Lawson get an offensive rebound. This team is pathetic.

 

[Longshot]

I'm flipping between games. But it feels like this one is coming off the rails for the Raptors. They're getting killed by offensive rebounds. They need to turn this around pretty quick or they will be gone in six.

 

[Stylizer1]

This is the DeRozan Toronto needs

 

[Stylizer1]

Wright definitely needs to be a starter.

 

[canucksfan]

Raps seem so much better when JV is on the floor

 

[Del Preston]

DeRozan is driving me nuts. Pass the damn ball.

 

[Longshot]

Three possession game. This is what they need.

 

[Longshot]

Give Casey credit. He rolled the dice with a small lineup and it is working.

 

[Tuggy]

What a great game from Delon tonight.

Now finish this in Washington!
