I feel bad for him too, happy for us. And did you see how media was all over trying to make look that fns were happy that he got hurt? Raptors got the ball when he was hurt so people were cheering that the Raps got the ball , not because he was hurt. I'm sure we're all happy that he's out, but nobody is that mean...just fucking news outlets
The NBA admits the refs fucked up in the last minute of game 5. Marc Gasol should have been awarded 2 free throws.
Actually, the refs have been fucking up the entire playoffs. Where do they find these guys? They better not screw up game 6.
It's a good thing I didn't have a wager on the game.

What on God's green earth are you talking about??? Your comparing a tired player to a severely injured player??? I'm not even sure I can make heads or tails out of your post.
All the super stars that played high minutes were tired but if your team is the one that's scoring, keep your foot on the gas. That time out totally changed the dynamic of the game. My statement stands, in 30 years of watching basketball I've never seen that before and for good reason.
Are you sure you even watch this game or should be posting in this thread? Aren't you the guy that said the winner of the Raps/Sixers series would get swept by the Bucks?
So then lose it. Who cares? They had them on the ropes about to win an NBA championship. You don't take time outs just cause you have them. You take them when you need them.
I said the exact same thing to the guys at work today. When he hurt himself, he turned the ball over. Then Serge was at the other end and got fouled so people were even cheering more. It's a noisy stadium and I'm sure there was lots of confusion. Once people realized what was going on, they cheered him as he was now getting back on his feet. Maybe it was a shock to Americans that athletes get hurt in Canada, they cheer them when get back on their feet. There were a few fans waving and acting poorly, but that happens in every stadium.
A little touchy? You're right. 30 years of watching basketball on TV makes you some kind of expert. Far more knowledgeable than a guy who's coached in multiple leagues, at different levels, and now at the greatest stage. They really should consult with you next time. LoL. You've obviously never played the game.
Not touchy at all, but the first part of you post make zero sense, and second part of your post isn't much better. You don't have to be a basketball expert to realize that was a poor decision. Common sense should tell you that. You ever seen an NBA coach call a time out when his team had the momentum and were on a scoring run??? You answer should be no since it never happens. Now think about why. Nick nurse is an excellent coach and will be around for a while, but that was an extremely poor choice.
As for your KD analogy to a tired player, I have no idea what the fuck your talking about.
Foul on Gasol was missed, Raps shoulda won:

Gasol probably woulda sunk those.

The refs and the NBA are owned by Las Vegas. They cleaned up on both sides of the bet on gm 5 I think. The Warriors was bet up to -1.5 before game time and the announcement that KD was going to play.
For those of you who are nervous about the game tomorrow night. I agree with the article that Spicy P will have his better game tomorrow.

If you can rewatch the footage of that time out you can see how hard Kawhi was breathing even after they came back from commercial. I question two of Kawhi's late game decisions; not passing off the ball when facing 3 defenders and instead putting up an air ball and choosing an iso for the final play but he's the guy who got them that far in the first place.
On that topic, anyone else find it strange how long they stopped the game while a player was walked to the lockers?
Game one looked like the warriors hadn't done any game planning for Pascal in the half court offence. They have adjusted well and have limited his half-court opportunities so many of his points since then have been on the break.
Keep padding your back being a wagon jumper while you bad mouth and frame "Leafs fans". I'm sure you feel a sense of superiority now that you consider yourself a Raptors fan.
If you go by those last 2 minute reports then the raps would have had several more losses this playoff.
They're hypocrites, these people trying to make bullshit out of this story.......in the States they cheer when hockey players fight and bump into each other. (like they do here too)
The truth hurts eh smuddan. Leafs fans are known for driving away players, take the example of Nikita Zietsev. The fans get on him, he doesn't want to play for Babcock and he's tired of taking shit from Don Cherry. When is HNIC going to fire that toxic fossil?
I use to be a Detroit Pistons fan before the Raptors got good. Loved the Bad Boys, Ben Wallace's monster block on Shaq, in 2004, is still etched on my mind. I admit the Latrell Spreewell chocking incident soured me on the game but the Raptors have brought back. Supporting the Leafs is futile, they're going to have a weaker defense next year.
Like Fred, he was undrafted.
