I relish negativity and disappointment. It is not healthy. Somebody buy me a pony.

Was PP trying to get into the Big Balls club with that 1 handed side heave to Amir 3/4 of the length down the court with 9 seconds left? That was terrifying.

Really good game that I think really highlighted how much better the Raptors are from last season. Phoenix isn't the biggest team, but they have guys that play really physical and in past years I think the Raptors would have buckled, in the 4th quarter when Phoenix was making their run. They really showed mental toughness when it counted.

I thought about doing a statistical analysis of it, but got bogged down in how you'd possibly calculate it. You couldn't just go by league averages, because you need to take into account that the playoffs have only the best teams, who are probably both more disciplined and better at drawing fouls. Even team matchups would create too much noise. Only way I could imagine coming up with a decent calculation is to look at the fouls-per-game of two teams in a playoff series, and then look at the fouls-per-game of those two teams head-to-head in the regular season. And then you'd also need to go through and strip out last-minute intentional fouling, which, in that small sample size, could have a large effect.

To me, it feels like there are more fouls called in the playoffs. The up & down transition game gets greatly reduced and games often deteriorate into a grind-it-out, half-court, free throw shooting contests. Teams like the Heat, Lakers and Celtics have feasted on FTs in playoffs. Our only disadvantage is not getting the 'superstar' calls; however, we ARE building team reputation with the refs, which should pay dividends come playoff time.

What is it then?
It wasnt player development the first two years he was here and did a great job elevating every young player on the team, and now, on a continuation from last year when they were a powerhouse after gay left, and now are #1 overall, it ain't about wins....
When you talk such ridiculous shit, how do you expect to be taken seriously. Honestly..... please tell me then, what IS it all about.
hahahaha
classic man..... just a treat to read these posts. Bunch a fools acting like they are Savant NBA coaches doomed to sit in a basement calling the games from their lazy boys while guys like Casey, who are clearly inferior, are scamming the system and getting paid huge to win games on smoke and mirrors and PURE LUCK.

Is it a legitimate phenomenon, or just an echo chamber effect that gets said so much that people assume it's true?
