It might be a problem we've seen all year. Kawhi dominates the ball handling and shots. They move the ball better and shoot better when he wasn't playing. Catch 22. You need him and can't let him go cold, but the team tends to get cold, or maybe intimated when its their turn to perform.
Don't want to sound like a Rockets fan but the refereeing in the first half was suspect.
Sixers made some good adjustments and it took a while for #2 to figure it out but it simply came down to a game where there was a lid on the basket. Happens sometimes.
p.s. No idea why Nurse put Meeks into the game.

it's amazing how dominant the Warriors were a few years back that it seemed incredulous that would need to add Kevin Durant. Not it seems they'd be nowhere without him.
I still would love to see the crybabies in Houston get swept. they shoot 50% from 3 in the first half and still trail the Warriors. its gotta be disheartening.
Milwaukee takes a game back from Boston and it was a blowout in the end. This round is playing out tight just as expected.

And who's that going to be?? Do you happen to know someone on the team we don't?

I'm still sour on trading away JV, he used to handle Embiid all on his lonesome. You don't trade away a rising 26 year old for a much older player.
...and I won't even get into JV vs Boogie, the Raps didn't lose many games to the Pelicans.

Based on past history vs. philly, Jeremy Lin. At least he a bigger gaurd than Fred and a far superior passer.
Need to do something to get something from the bench, it has gone from a strength to garbage.
I am with I V re JV trade. When JV played both he and Ibaka put numbers up at the moment neither 5 is putting numbers up.
its definitely a down day on the Raptors stock market today. 
Philly was never going to be a cake walk. They are stacked with all-stars. they gave Boston a run for their money last year without Jimmy Butler or Tobias Harris.
they took care of business at home in their first game. We did the same. We need to steal one on Sunday. Good news is, Lebron isn't on the end of the floor.
If we lose Sunday then it becomes dire.
I still see the Raptors having issues integrating Leonard into all those minutes. You sit around watching him and then all of a sudden you're supposed perform on every possession. I think this is the point in the playoffs where Nurse has to make his mark.

Jeremy Lin sucked ever since he got here, FVV was a stud all year long, and now your going to pull the carpet from him because he's in slump?. Typical Toronto sports fan. Hit the panic button and do something erratic when the water gets a little rough. You don't go away from what got you to the dance at this point in the season. That's just stupid. I would bank on FVV having stronger performances for the rest of series. No chance Nick Nurse has plans using Jeremey Lin in any significant capacity and rightfully so. Maybe give Norman Powell a bit more minutes since he's faired a tiny bit better until FVV gets out this. The fucking team sucked yesterday other than Leonard so no point in isolating this to the bench. The whole team has to be better.
There is nothing you can do, except hope they play better, because I can tell you right now no chance are they giving Lin any significant minutes.
I'm not a Lin fan either but someone needs a wake up call! Went searching to see if there is any mention of OG's return.....Nuttin! at least nothing I could find!
Not sure Nurse has any idea how to fix the problems.
Really?!!?? That's long? I was counting on OG returning on ...Sunday! Then,again wth do I know!
Call Dwayne Casey!!! Oh yeah... I forgot Nurse burnt that bridge in the offseason- reeaaallll bad
Getting more and more evident. I think his ball dominance is slowing down the offence but no one else has been able to hit a shot the last couple days.
The Raps are not making the open shots they normally make. I also didnt like how Nurse started the the 4th in game 3 without Kawhi, he was hot and started to take control, Nurse shouldve let him ride it out since its a 2 day rest, he needs to understand there is a chance Kawhi is not coming back so use him or you will never get a chance again
