2015/16 Toronto Raptors Season Thread !!

[gfelover]

I didn't see that coming either and I sure did not want O/T. Almost crapped hen Hill sank that shot, just a fraction too late!:whoo:

Raps had 7 turnovers vs 14 for the Pacers. That may have been the difference. This thing should be over but........It is the playoffs and it is the Raptors.

:high5: ...and thanks Vogel for letting PG and GH have the first three minutes off in the fourth .... If they just play ball we'll squeak through in 6 because Indys bench gives them no support and the Raps just need to crunch on that. D, let's just get this game and worry about the next round instead!!.....and OT last night might have been the straw that finally produced the MI I keep anticipatin!!!!..thank Goodness we'll never find out what might have been...:crazy:....

And what's with these days off between games? And 2 sat afternoons and a Friday night...??????

Again, as its been said before, a win is a win and that was definitely a great win considering....:gossip:

The view from Indianapolis:

Doyel is Indy's main basketball columnist. He also said after Game 4 victory that Paul George is the only superstar in this series.

I think the series will be going 7 games. Raptors never make things easy for themselves.

The Raps during this Era make every nba playoff opponent seem like NBA Champs .. Your bang on this series will go 7 and heck would love to be wrong .

I think it ends tonight! The Pacers have had their run; the better team prevails.

It seems the team that wins this game usually win the series

If the Raps went on to lose the series,they will be called Raptors D-league (especially when it comes to the playoffs!)
However,if they win they have a very good chance to go all the way to the conf finals. Raptors second round opponent is beatable and CLE will have a tougher time with their second round opponent in the Hawks.

Give the best you have and will see what happens!

Let's go Raptors! Go harder on defense for both PG and GH.

I don't think there is a lot between these two teams. The much weaker division the Raptors were in probably largely explains the regular season standings.

Agree 100 percent. Hopefully the Raptors learned their lesson from the last few games about coming out with more urgency tonight? We shall see!!!

Lowry is predicted to get 3rd team all NBA .. I do wish he looks like a 3rd all NBA ream PG at least once in these next two games

 

[Coach 1]

Great start Raps!!! #wethenorth #loserswethegold
We are going to win in six A very realizable source told me. Go BB!!!

 

[basketcase]

Ugh. I guess it's game 7. Guess this game's collapse is just to balance last games miracle.

What a frustrating game! Derozan has to learn how to pass the damn ball instead of taking off balance fade away shots with defenders on him. If the raps lose on sunday i will be very surprised if DD comes back next year cause he certainly aint worth max! He has to trust his teamates and stop forcing shit specially when your ice cold. 1 fucking dime? Really? He should have at least 5 with the wings open after drawing the defenders.
DD is a great player but he just cant perform in the playoffs somehow. Technically, we should've lost the series today if it werent for coaching mistake by indy during the 4th qtr of game 5. I have a bad feeling for game 7 *sigh*....

What is pathetic is our two all stars are constantly giving crap games in the playoffs . In the last two playoff years we have seen to many nights like tonight from our all stars

Disappointing game, poor effort, poor performance! I hope they would give their best in the game 7... Fight for the rebounding ball is the key to win for raptors at this moment. BB and JV both big boys have to come out strong and fight for the rebounding ball as many as possibly can in both defense and offense situations.

Fingers still crossed,

Let's go Raptors!

Blame it on the coach, Casey . He had the look of bewildment on his face when the Pacers defence stopped everything from his play calls. He needs to come up with a new wrinkles in his offensive system quick! It's the Pacers defence not the play of PG that give the Raptors grief. Casey should put his players in the hotel tonight ahead of Gm7 tomorrow,ala Ken Hitchcock.

Well, that was that..!!

No matter how tomorrow turns out ( and at least we don't have the early game but a 800pm?? Start ) there will no lack of items to discuss regarding this team now and into the future. They are truly a conundrum and have been for the last three years. Let's stay positive and let the red tide get them through tomorrow. I hope they rest up and give it all they got domani! Let's go Raptors..!!!

Well if they win tomorrow then they salvage this season .. A lost will mean that this whole season meant nothing .. We couldn't enjoy any aspect of this season cause we knew it meant nothing unless they won a round so if fact this season will turn out to be the worse season ever for being a Rap fan ..

Unlike hockey, baseball and soccer, I didn't grow up with basketball. I know the construction business and I can make this statement with complete confidence. If they don't stop bricklaying on 3 point shots they will be eliminated.

Regardless of what happens, the Raps must resign Biyombo - he's irreplaceable.
