I will also point out that judging by the tickets still on sale for game three, the Warrior won't have a huge home court advantage either. There are better seats available for game three in San Fran than game five in Toronto.

Disagree. The Raptors need him to score. If Lowry didn't average 20ppg in the Milwaukee series, the Raps would've lost that series.Last edited by Zak24gege; Mon Jun 3, 2019, 04:40 PM.

The concessions stands and merch stalls pay kawhi's salary if people using the 20 min break to get food/merch or use the facilities and get held up until a break in play on their return is the reason our team couldn't get a stop or not commit 6 turnovers and give up an 18-0 run in 6 minutes and 25-2 run if you count the last 3 minutes of 2nd; we're in big trouble here.
The crowd was great, the game was great, Kawhi will have film on the trap + blitz unconventional defence Kerr cooked up and he might be able to score 34 and Dish 7-10 dimes to go with his 14 rebs next game.

Jack Armstrong has called out Raptors fans about this in the past as well.

That doesn't mean the calls were fair. If things were called down the middle the fouls would have looked lopsided towards the Raptors. They weren't rewarded for aggression on offense and were penalized for aggression on defense. Why isn't a foul a foul?
It's not like we were down 15 free throws is all I'm saying. The refs may have put us behind the eight ball, but we dug our own graves yesterday.

Because it's the NBA. Perfectly fair calls without star treatment and makeup calls doesn't exist in the league.

To defeat the Warriors I don't know if they can do it if they also must defeat the refs.

Raptors have had multiple games this year where the crowd is flat at the beginning of the second half because no one is at their seats. The team worked hard for home court advantage, but no one is there to cheer them at the bgiining of the second half, which is a time GS usually comes out gunning after hashing it out at half time.
If you consider how high the prices were on the lower bowl, if someone paid say, 10,000 for their seat, and miss the first 6 minutes of the 3rd waiting in line for a beer, that beer just cost $1,250. (Which is probably close to what they're selling the beer for anyway lol , but you know what mean..)Last edited by inthepaint; Mon Jun 3, 2019, 01:44 PM.

We're merely spectators. We have no responsibilities and so therefore no cop out. The refs fucked with the momentum of the game many times, its just stating facts. Could they have overcome if it they hit more shots? Sure. Should they have to deal with this at this level? No.
