Seriously, I'm not much of a ranter, but this was honestly the most frustrating game I've ever seen the Raptors play. Not because we lost, no, I wouldn't care if we lost at at the end of the 4th. No, it's HOW we lost, which is indicative of all the flaws that exist on our team. I don't even know where to begin. I don't even know what to say. What's the point? Really, if I criticize Bargs for his lost shot, all his c**ks**kers will come out and talk about how shitty the rest of the team played. Which is true, the rest of the team, with the exception of Ed Davis and Barbosa, were absolute shit. Also, Bargs grabbed 10 boards. Which is true, but he didn't make the big shots he needed to. Neither did DeRozan in the 4th quarter or overtime for that matter. Don't even get me started on how bad Calderon played.
But at the end of the day, Triano f***ed up by running the same last second play twice, it was ridiculous, especially since it didn't work the first time. Why would it work the second time, in the same situation no less?
No defensive intensity, no good playmaking, no good play calls, and a stupid low-probability shot by a low-IQ player. Seriously, Bargs couldn't think to try to drive it with the time he had left? Do that little fake thing he does to get the contact? Yeah, the other players also were idiots because they just stood around and watched, but, if you want to be the franchise player, you get all the blame, very little of the glory, until you lead us somewhere (ie playoffs). And tonight, Bargs f***ed up.
Lastly, I'm actually gonna agree with RaptorsFan4Life here and say...Weems should have played more. So should have J. Wright, our starters were tired in OT, why not put those guys in for an energy boost?
I'm expecting a lot of BARGS defending, or Triano defending, or Jose defending, or excuses. But I don't care, because frankly, I know what I saw, and I know what I'm disgusted by. Hope all you tankers are happy, I hope that number 1 pick ends up being worth it, because this was embarrassing.
I've only been to 1 raptors game my whole life (The boston game that we won this year). And even that, was a birthday present. The way these guys are playing, I think i'm just gonna keep it that way.
