2016 NBA Playoffs Thread: Post-Joey Crawford Edition

The Raptors are a bunch of bitches. Can't do shit on the road. Do they just go in the locker room and cry because the opponent's fans are too loud?

Softest team in the league mentally

The difference between home and away for the Raptors is absolutely outrageous.

James Jones is one victory away from his 6th straight finals

Certainly does not match up with Purple Shirt Guy in Charlotte, but a strong 2nd place showing.

Can someone tell me what happened? I had class and by the time I could watch Cavs were up 30

 

[Rios15]

Embarrassing game

So basically the difference between where games are played in the ECF is that in Cleveland, Tristan gets to foul the shit out of Biyombo, holding him down so he can't even jump for rebounds half the time, and that in Toronto, Bismack gets foul the shit out of Tristan, holding him down so he can't even jump for rebounds half the time.
 
Welcome to the NBA, where the home court center gets to foul the shit out of the other center. I don't know if I've ever seen a more pathetically physical 5 matchup. Neither of these guys actually boxes out. They just grab and pray the ball bounces to them or one of their teammates.

What's the difference between a vacuum and the Raptors? You gotta plug the vacuum in before it sucks HA HA HAAAAAAA

yes, I agree. The 40 point margin can be explained solely by Tristan holding Biyombo. If they had called just two or three more fouls on him, it would have changed the outlook of the entire game.

a thunder/raptors final would be good to see for the basketball fans eyes. the general public and probably the nba would hate it. ratings would suck too

Huh? As a basketball fan youd wanna see that?, id wanna see good basketball. Not trying to watch a bunch of blowouts by the thunder, and lowry and derozan in the finals lol come on mah man. For my eyes, its all thunder vs cavs

 

[Paulius]

Also -- is 27 the age for success in the NBA?
 
Jordan, Lebron, and Curry all won their first titles at age 27. Bird, Magic, Shaq, Bill Russell notably all won titles at age 27
 
Any guesses to how old Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are?

Great article

Real Warriors fans wanted Lacob to sell the team several years ago.  Nobody really knows what they're talking about.

 

[buzzy]

I just hope it's the end of the term Death Line-up. So dumb.

More like RIP Line-up

Man, you threw out some names in there that I even forgot about! I would say you are pretty accurate on your statement about being bandwagon fans.  Almost reminds me of all the "new" Seattle Seahawk fans who don't even know who Shaun Alexander, Steve Largent or Brian Bosworth are!!
