Natalie Sago just sucks at her job...or just hates the Raptors. ..and Carl Lane has no marbles. What a joke they both are. Overturning the 5th on KD in the 3rd by that group was ridiculous. The techs on Fred and Nurse...ridiculous. The end of the second with the no call on Boucher after a vicious hack across both arms, followed by a call on Bembry for blocking a pass by Harden.... ridiculous. Foul on FVV when he stuffed it in Kyrie's face....ridiculous.
How that group has NBA officiating jobs is beyond me. What a performance by Lowry and the Raps to win playing 5 on 8 last night. Classic Raptor win in the Lowry era.
Hawks confuse me.
Trae/Rondo/Dunn
Bogdanovic/Huerter
Hunter/Reddish
Collins/Gallinari
Capela/Okongwu
I feel like they should be better.
The officiating today exemplifies what is wrong with the game. That third quarter was a disaster. Bigs don't get the same treatment that the guards do on the perimeter.
Credit to the Hawks tho, they outplayed the Raptors tonight.

Refs raping the Raptors again tonight with his whistle
Dillon Brooks is a really nice two way player.
Missing JV (no regrets on trade of course though).
What a game from the Raps in the second half. Once Nurse got ejected they dominated...and FVV, Powell and Pascal went off:
Pascal- 32 points and went 5 for 8 from deep!
Freddy- 32 points and went 12 for 12 from the line and 4 for 7 from deep!
Powell- 29 points and went 6 for 9 from deep!
Powell is on fire in the starting lineup. In his 11 starts he is now averaging 21 points on 47% from deep and 51% from the field (...aka like an all-star) and he just keeps finishing and shooting better and better the further we go into the season. He's playing like a guy who can become a FA after this season and cash in.... He keeps playing like this and he may get the same kind of deal as OG. Someone is going to give him a starting gig and let him play 35+ mpg if they don't.
Nurse has an interesting decision to make when OG returns. Powell plays a lot better as a starter.Quote:

This season that evidence is clear. I feel like last season he had a horrid start off the bench. Got moved to starting lineup as injuries hit, he got hot and stayed hot as a bench player later in the year. I may be remembering wrong though.Quote:

I do think our offensive system is perfect for him to be able to find his shots...
Do we want 100+ million tied up in Powell/FVV/OG/Siakam/Lowry?
Raps 905 tip off tomorrowt. Curious how Flynn specifically does. Harris is obviously going to get some time with the ball. Alize Johnson, Brissett, Hernández and Ellenson are other names to look at for.
Yeah he was able to sustain his playing while coming off the bench. I'm not sure what they should do at this point. Powell could end up being one of the better free agents this summer.Quote:

Ugh... selling that house is not a good sign imo. Feels like he is at least planning on exploring FA.Quote:
