Raptors Discussion: v96| Playoff Round 1 vs Philadelphia

[Eyedea]

That was probably the dagger.

Future looks bright though. Barnes was getting his chances as a rookie and will build off this experience.

 

[DarkKnight]

Get the Leafs out of the building.

 

[Eyedea]

They got baited into taking 3s with the zone and it bit them in the ass.

Then we wouldn't have reaction gif like that girl when she realizes she is sitting beside Auston Matthews

That was gold!

We can still turn this around.

DEFENSE and hopefully start hitting the 3s

How do you get dominated that badly? Oh well good season Raps

What makes you think they are going to all of a sudden start actually hitting 3s?

They are terrible at it, even when they win.

At least it looked like the girl beside Marner knew before the TV camera showed up.


Image if it was that girl who had the "Mitch will you go to the Prom with me" sign during warmups vs Detroit.

I believe in Doc Rivers blowing the leads

good try raps. its clear our "shooters" arent good enough at shooting though lol.
trent can go if im being honest, hes just wayyyyy too streaky to depend on in big moments. and he makes terrible terrible decisions on offense most of the time.

 

[Canadian Finn]

that chick didn't recognize Matthews because he decided to play Les Claypool look-a-like.

Trent is a fine shooter. You need other shooters around him. I'd be surprised if they moved him.

 

[Pink Mist]

76ers are such an unlikeable team

 

[tmlms13]

Sixers gonna get swept next round (assuming Miami is healthy)

 

[tmlms13]

Shots just not going down tonight and it feels like Philly can't miss

hes fine on catch and shoot, but he tries to penetrate wayyy too often on iso and more often than not he messes it up, even on fast breaks hes horrible lol. look, i like gary, but i just find thats hes wayyyyy too streaky(even within games) outside of that crazy 6 game stretch this year hes been pretty mediocre overall i think.
maybe i will feel different with a bit of time to reflect, but i think he just is who he is.

we have been historically bad from 3 all series, its what cost us. we need shooting in the worst way.

 

[tmlms13]

Hopefully they broke his nose

 

[Suntouchable13]

Kyle Lowry and the Heat will clown these fools. Embiid pisses me off so much. Damn it, I wish Raptors could have smoked them.

 

[TheRumble]

Disappointing end to the season, would have been nice to be a bit more competitive but gotta hand it to the coaching staff and team given how shorthanded they were.

The team had so many roster holes - no real center or even a 7 footer, 1 NBA level point guard all year, no real bench outside of 2 maybe 3 guys if you include Thad Young. Credit to the team for being being here.

It was definitely a development year for the team, they just happened perform way above expectations which is becoming normal for the Raptors.

 

[PromisedLand]

1st game bullshit by the refs and the 3rd game ref counting the basket eventhough ball was going up and precious missing the freethrows was the difference IMO

 

[Gary Nylund]

Oh well. Was it Barkley who said the sixers had 0% chance of winning game 6? Just a reminder that all these analysts/experts are entertainers first, and whatever else second.

It was a good season, congrats again Scottie on the ROY, looking forward to seeing you doing a lot more next season, it's pretty clear that you are capable of taking charge more than you have done.

Looking forward to next season!

 

[Suntouchable13]

I think this stings less. We still have the Leafs starting their playoffs on Monday, and the Jays are World Series contenders. Toronto is in fine shape. Raptors are just going to get better. Masai will plug in the holes. Raps will be right back here next year.
