Game #33: Toronto Raptors 94 - Washington Wizards 91

[iblastoff]

This is something I really like. Teams can't really target him with Hack-A-Shaq strategy, it's nice to have both of our centers be capable FT shooters

instead now they're gonna hack-a-carroll.

Happy New Year, Raptors fans! Have a safe night tomorrow!

Refs favored us heavy!

Yeah... At the game tonite and Wall did get the ball on that foul call late on DD. Wall was beside himself.. He talked to Anderson at the end of the bench... then moved on down the line and finally was talking to Wittman...
I used to think when oh when will the Raptors ever get the benefit of an egregiously bad call... Well I saw it tonight and won't be bitching about the refs screwing us over for.. .well... two games. Max

The Gods gifted us this game and you just feel dirty about it. It's like you get free food tonight that would cost you $25, but after eating it it kinda tastes shitty anyways and you regret taking it at the first place.

Well not really on the gods gifting this to us... We built two leads of double digits with good defense and some good offense... The Whiz put on their run and not sure how it looked on TV but it was the John Wall show tonight on the court. Dude is pretty impressive. Speed . Passing... He made a couple of bad passes but he is something to watch.
Worst night belonged to Gortat. Not on the scoresheet but watching him get his nuts headbutted by Kyle then taking one off his melon from JV on an attempted out of bounds save. The look he gave skyward to the gods .. now that was priceless.

Nah it's like someone gave you free food and you find out after eating it, they beat up a homeless person to get it for you.

That defense to finish the game tho.....That's what's different from last year's team. We got defenders now.

Lowry/Cojo/Demar/Carroll/Biyombo

This is why we brought these guys in.

I dunno man, they left Jared Dudley open from the arc on 2 possessions in a row. They were lucky he was short on the second one

box score looks like lots of bad shooting nights. love how the win means less because of injuries to the wiz the same as wins mean less against the spurs when we have injuries. stay consistent.

a wins a win is a win. 4th quarter must have really sucked though. good teams will make a run and they were able to pull out a stop whether it was from a missed look or not.

18-3 when we hold teams under 100. That should be the goal every game.

lol

This. Our end of game defense was awful, the Wizards just missed wide open shots.

Don't know how all 4 guards and Biyombo couldn't secure a defensive rebound to end the game

Eh, I'll give them a pass. Missing 3 pointers leads to long rebounds and our only rebounder was sitting under the basket

He may have gotten the ball but the replays showed him getting quite a bit of contact with demar's elbow as well. There may have been gifts but that was a good call.

How did no one like the OP? Y'all are some ungrateful dinosaurs!

Thanks for the winning streak consmap!
