Do Not Sell My Personal Information

I know refs sold us but when you see they are letting the Raptors do that, you need to match that energy. We should’ve plYed more physical than them and FORCED the refs to either shaft us blatantly or revert back to the mean

Agreed. They should have put in Lopez to throw a hard foul, or something to send a message. That was borderline dirty play and the refs were enablers.

With Garland we probably win this game, but I didn’t see a lot of separation between us and that second tier of playoff teams like Toronto/Atlanta in this game

Mobley has to become better, a lot better, for us to take the next big step. He’s good but this team needs him to be better than just good

Not enough touches near the hoop for Mobley.

I get the idea that they want to let the baby giraffe play make, but how about getting him his bread and butter, too?

No this is a different Cavs team. One that looks like it can beat a lot of playoff teams..
 
A -9 free throw disparity ain’t even close to how this was called. That plus no Garland and we still had a shot at the end. Raps don’t come out shooting 100% for 4 minutes in the second half and half-competent officiating and we beat them every time.

Also, it took till 4 seconds left and an intentional foul for a Raptor to not bitch about a call. What a miserable team to root for. Get that Lowry DNA out of there
 
Between refs and raps style of play that was ugly. Woof! Rusty and without DG, not bad overall.

Three worst players today:
1) "Improving" Okoro with 0 pts
2) Ball-hogging Garland with only 2 pts and shit tons of giveaways.
3) Mobley. Same clumsy Mobley we saw last year. No improvement so far.

Brightest spot today was Mitchell. If not that guy, we would be done by third quarter. Allen is pretty good job. Cant complain about him. Love,Wade and Osman-all three are ok. That`s about it. Neto is just another D-League guy.

You sound like a guy who could find a $20 bill on the ground and get pissed it’s not $100.
 
Another thing is I’m not seeing superstar with Mobley anymore. He’s clumsy ass hell with the ball, can’t consistently shoot and is a subpar rebounder.
 
We just got shafted by a ref unit that didn’t want to control the 1st game of the season and the Raptors knew that.


I have to believe someone got inside info from the officiating crew and knew the refs weren’t gonna be sticklers today because no way the Raptors think they are about to play 82 games like THIS.
