Man am I ever glad I missed most of this game. Saw most of the 1st and it was not good. Dont know how I would've dealt with watching another whole game of shitty ball, again.

I think I might have to dial back on watching for the sake of my own sanity. I won't promise to stay away completely because I don't have that kind of self control.

Idk, there was a period where JV looked downright dominant.

Casey on DeRozan breakaway 360 dunk: won't talk to him about it. He needs an arm around him more than a foot in the butt #Raptors #rtz

Is Casey a bit too nice? ( I thought Casey is a tough love guy? ) I remember my HS coach... Good days.

Awww, DeRozan's sad. Poor guy....

[Nilanka]

Raptors took 29 threes in this game. 29. And Lowry did not even play. A guy that likes to chuck a bunch of them

It took them 3 quarters to figure out that they have a huge advantage INSIDE. JV i think only got 1 touches inside in the first half and that was the first possession of the game.

DeRozan's shot selection continues to be an issue. You'er struggling with your shot you just can't continue to take fadeaway/diffucult shots. You're not helping yourself. And the 360 dunk was just dumb.

Terrence Ross did not even score a point.

"Struggling" implies a slump. Nobody slumps for half a season. He just can't shoot, period.

[The Great One]

This is not right. And i'm a big DeRozan fan. He's taking way too many tough/difficult/unnecessary shots.

Weird how Casey says some players were taking threes that shouldn’t (read Amir and James Johnson) but never says DeRozan is taking bad shots

One word: effort.

… The Raptors were outscored by OVER 40 POINTS PER 100 POSSESSIONS in the 16 minutes Ross played tonight. Jesus.

I totally would've watched if I could. No tvs in the pub. Could only check my phone for updates, and that was upsetting enough.

Was his foul trouble merited? I saw his first two. First definitely was. Second was a tougher call. There are definitely refs who'd let that go. But I didn't see any of the others.

[consmap]

Urg Casey seems to be madly in love with his boys.

[Scraptor]

I'm dead.

At least you weren't murdered by the rim like a certain Raptor tonight.
