According to Hollinger, the Raptors have a higher chance of winning the championship than the Heat...

Man i love that raptors team btw. Still think they should trade lowry for even more picks and keep rebuilding

“@ESPNNBA: NBA issued a statement that Monta Ellis should have been called for a foul on Austin Rivers' game-tying 3-point attempt Saturday night.”

This isn't good enough. This may have been the worst non call I've ever seen. Some suspensions should be handed out, the pelicans should be compensated, something.

Refs are human. They are going to miss calls. But you can't miss blatant obvious **** like that man. These refs are professionals. No way can you miss something that obvious.

I think at this point they're gonna keep him and try to resign him in the offseason.

 

[kevin cleveland]

Lowry is largely responsible for their success, though. Like, Most Valuable Player candidate responsible (with zero chance of winning, obviously, but still).

They have to consider re-signing him. He's only 27.

 

[japanair21]

looks like monta was trying to foul him before he got the shot off

thats the only reason i can think of for playing defense like that

That's Monta defense. Poor.

I'm with Kev. That was a terrible play. He didn't deserve FTs.

Yea he's 10th in the mvp ladder so far. I'm not saying he deserves the mvp but you're right, he is a huge reason for the Raptors' success lately. I'm hoping he decides to stay in the offseason, but he always has that option of going to a warmer destination

He didn't deserve free throws? Huh? He was fouled what you mean he didn't deserve free throws

 

[JD617]

at Rivers not deserving free throws.

“@ESPNNBA: NBA issued a statement that Monta Ellis should have been called for a foul on Austin Rivers' game-tying 3-point attempt Saturday night.”

What is the point of issuing these statements if they don't really do anything about it? The game was already ruined.

Intersting. Didnt realize the impact he had. demar dorezen deserves all star spot too

 

[awwsome]

Was always disappointed by Demarr but he's finally putting it together now that he's playing on a decent squad

what? do you want them to go back and reply the last few seconds to make it better?

its just to admit the ref's mistake, thats all.

 

[dt43]

 

Lmao... Just lmao

What? :x

No, no, no.. that is terrible.

Just issuing a statement isn't enough. At the minimum they should be suspended with pay. We need to start having consequences for this stuff, it's making the NBA look really, really bad.

And Monta Ellis is still better than Steph Curry

 

[captainjackson]

putting a statement out saying the refs missed a call does absolutely nothing, it's just the leagues way to save face. funny thing is those refs won't be punished or suspended for missing one of the most obvious fouls.

 

[goldmember]

The ref just straight ignored Rivers.. walked past him like nothing happened...

What's going on, man. I thought this only happens at Heat games

Milwaukee really got a good young player in Antetokounmpo 

Reminds me of Batum/KD…still very raw, but he has a very high ceiling..

 

[black migo]

He will never have the offensive skills kd has, even at the same age kd was on a different lvl offensively, he reminds me of lamar odom with his vision, ball handling & his ability to orchestrate the fast break, already a better defender than lamar ever was

 

[awwsome]

KD is a generational talent, nobody is expecting Giannis to be him, they just have very similar characteristics/body types

Fools straight fans just so happen to be sitting on the bench.

Gay just volleyball spiked a Varejao flip-up.

Went right to Deng for a three as the shot clock sounded.

He better revise his statistical models if that's what his data is saying.
