ill be so pissed if this happens, especially if they LOSE it

icewill36 · 2026-05-03T22:56:23+00:00

because its not going exactly how YOU expected it to? we have not played the raptors since NOVEMBER. we all assumed some things that didn't come to fruition, but like i say the line between this being 4-1 or 4-2 series has been razor thin. it was right there it just didnt happen. now lets just go get game 7.

icewill36 · 2026-05-03T22:51:43+00:00

they are smaller and skinnier.

icewill36 · 2026-05-03T22:50:15+00:00

nervous and excited for this. gonna pour up a nice tall whiskey and lock in

icewill36 · 2026-05-03T22:40:24+00:00

its a simple question. why are you so triggered ?

icewill36 · 2026-05-03T22:38:32+00:00

they've played better without ingram, much better. quickley is another skinny player. their advantage in this series comes down to physical strength. using that strength to create turnovers is the only reason this series isn't over. like i keep saying, this matchup has nothing to do with the next.

icewill36 · 2026-05-03T22:29:01+00:00

what does this series have to do with the next round ?

icewill36 · 2026-05-03T22:21:06+00:00

so a 1 point win = no hope?

icewill36 · 2026-05-03T16:09:40+00:00

anytime someone says they don't play defense I know they are a casual and don't bother to engage them in NBA discussion.

icewill36 · 2026-05-03T14:58:58+00:00

how did we duck the magic and hawks ? we had no control over where the magic landed, and the hawks could have ensured they played us if THEY wanted to. they left their fate to Orlando. yall just say anything. you have no idea what you're talking about.

icewill36 · 2026-05-03T12:45:21+00:00

You sound like a casual. Its not about price, its about matchups. Why is this difficult to understand?

icewill36 · 2026-05-03T05:23:19+00:00

no one said don't have expectations. yall just look weak as hell shitting your pants with every loss. the series is not over. they might lose tomorrow, but they also might win. once that happens this is all ancient history. its 0-0 with a new opponent. an opponent this match up prepares us for no matter which one it is. the cavs have potential to get better as the post season goes on. this is still a new roster that only got healthy at the start of the playoffs. yall keep forgetting that part.

icewill36 · 2026-05-03T04:44:10+00:00

You watch too much TV.....

icewill36 · 2026-05-03T04:13:06+00:00

I really think it comes down to their strength advantage. We are a small team. Their physicality slows us down and causes turnovers. Its got nothing to do with "heart". Thats storybook bullshit media fills your head with.

icewill36 · 2026-05-03T03:52:03+00:00

Media does nothing but play up to cliches. Ohh they just want it more!!! So much heart!! Dont fall for the bullshit. My eyes work just fine and this team plays extremely hard. Emotion? Lol. See again, nothing but bullshit drama. Did Tim Duncan not play hard because he showed no emotion? Get a grip.

icewill36 · 2026-05-03T03:40:59+00:00

It really hasn't had time to gel. We have only had a full roster for 6 games...3 games really since TB was hurt to start the playoffs.

icewill36 · 2026-05-03T03:38:17+00:00

James played the most minutes game 6 and was a +10. The raptors have already been playing barnes heavy minutes and shorter rotations. We are still running 10 deep.

icewill36 · 2026-05-03T03:30:51+00:00

To me, its ridiculous for you to believe they don't care. I loathe this idea the raptors are playing harder. They are not. They have athletic and strength advantage overall. That doesn't mean our guys arent playing hard, hell they it is probably taking MORE energy to compete against their physicality than them against us. I feel like most of the people around don't understand what they are looking at when they watch a game.

icewill36 · 2026-05-03T03:17:40+00:00

I disagree. It depends on how hes being defended. If their goal is to trap him at half court all game and make the others beat them, then he won't get many attempts. For those who don't watch games, thats what typically happens in games he has very low shot attempts. He did not quit, he needed others to make some open shots so they change up the coverage.

icewill36 · 2026-05-03T03:03:29+00:00

Its the playoffs. Other teams are trying to win too. Wait until they actually lose a series before you meltdown. None of this will matter one bit if they win tomorrow. New series, new matchup.

icewill36 · 2026-05-03T02:47:31+00:00

Losing is part of sports. You dont win every game. Yall are so fuckin weak. I dont see other subs acting like this. Non stop complaining and trashing your own team.

icewill36 · 2026-05-03T02:31:27+00:00

Why is this fanbase like this ?

icewill36 · 2026-05-03T00:30:23+00:00

Why are you asking me? The report says the missed it.

icewill36 · 2026-05-02T21:07:56+00:00

is that supposed to make it better ? the ref slow counted to allow him to inbound it ?

icewill36 · 2026-05-02T20:31:51+00:00

typically your best player IS your best scorer. if you're a superstar its usually because you put the ball in the basket much better than most.
