Atleast we arent playing the Pacers in playoffs

Ball Don't Lie

Get back on defence.

Stop pressuring who you cant stay infront of.

It was a pretty simple formula to stopping the Pacers.

Instead they played lazy and didnt run back ,and when they scored, for absolutely no reason kept pressuring Indys guards especially Watson who blew by them and tore apart the Raptors insides.

Way too often Watson just blew by our PGs and one pass easy shot.

Fucking pathetic.

Like fucking pickup ball. What a wasted opportunity.

If you people still cant see we need to make a move to make this team a PLAYER come playoff time youre nuts.

CALM DOWN

we didn't play our best against a team that gave us major defensive problems in every game this season. They made a ton of tough shots, and didn't miss a FT. We were stupid tonight at both ends. The refs didn't help.

This game doesn't count, it's the next 5 that do. If it's an isolated incident, we're not THAT good not to have them. If it's a trend, than we're in deep shit.

My only concern is that recently our defense is not that great, not just against Indiana. With the type of players we have, maintaining our focus will be a massive challenge.

If i told you before the game that Bosh would get 31/16, Bargs would get 30pts and Beli would get 21pts.....would anyone here think we'd get blown away?

osamu

with jose anything is possible

+1, Now you're talking brother!

Let's just hope that Bulls loose tonight and Bucks stay out of playoffs!

that's not the point, every team needs another piece. The problem is getting that piece without sacrificing much, if you're trading jose for magette, you're back where you started more or less. If you can trade Calderon for igoudala, that's obviously a move BC makes in about .5 seconds.

We have some assets, but so do many other teams. There won't be that many good players on the market, and I think there will be a lot of buyers.

i blame the refs on some dumbs calls against the raps. i also blame the raps for not showing any respect towards the pacers. They got walked over. AND finally i especially blame triano for not seeing the momentum turning at the beginning of the 3rd. Moron calls a time out when they were down 15 points already. good coaching triano.

BJ.Masters

honestly fck this, i dont hate Bellinelli,
but JT should have taken him out when he
started ruining fast break points for us

Also, with hedu and derozan out, we were exposed on the wings. Wright + Weems were 0/11, and since there was nobody behind, there was no way to pull a quick trigger.

This could become a big issue, with Calderon out, we have 4 rotation players out, and we're playing a B2B. And Devin Harris is back. This could easily become a nightmare B2B.

at least the bulls are losing too

AznRayD

There goes all the appreciation for Triano and the thoughts that Bosh is gonna stay here lmao well its bound to happen.

P.S. IM GONNA HUNT DOWN THOSE FUCKING REFS DOWN, WHOS WITH ME?

AznRayD

Lol to the clippers, but at least clippers r better than pacers FUCK

Bmats7

Amir taking trying to take a charge killed our flow and getting called for the block w/ 2 seconds killed a little flow.

Where is the fuckin supporting cast. Triple B's (BBB) Combined for 90 pts! Where are other 7-9 players???? ..... Clubbin' ..... Probably.

Febreezy

JOSE'S MADE OF GLASS.
Just joking but 3 people showed up to work.

jeffb

So Jose has 15 days to heal?

Rudy-T

Really? Jose was to blame? He played like 20mins, had 8 assists and with Bargs kept us in the game in third. He did get abused in defense, but so did everyone else including Jack, who was also shit offensively and couldnt get the offense rolling at all.

This loss had as much to do with Jose as it did with any of the other nine players who played more than 2 minutes. It was all about team D (no one player in Raps uniform played well on defense) and bad coaching.

I dont know if the defensive effort by Bargs is down due to injury woes, but hopefully he can come back on that end. His offense is starting to look so great and he had those great defensive games back there too, but lately he hasnt been there on D.

Hope the injuries dont start piling too much. We need Hedo/DD/Jose to play to be as good as we have been.

VanCity

well...at least he was trying...

and this lose better light a fire under the players asses...other wise this could get really ugly really quickly...we have 3 teams closing the gab behind us...and the playoffs are guaranteed...
