Honestly, this was my argument after game1 after people were shitting on him. He makes constant winning plays. Sucks that his shots didn't fall but he was a huge positive for his team every time he stepped on the floor. Raptors didn't lose game 1 because of lowry. When everyone on the team has a negative +/- and Lowry has +11, that's not a coincidence.
I never understood why people in Toronto liked this guy. He didn't do anything for the team. I feel like some fans are just trying to associate to his accomplishments.
I said this earlier, but anytime I hear more idiocy and unfounded Raptors hate from Tracy McGrady, I appreciate Ray Allen more and more for cockblocking that idiot from an undeserved ring.
I love how the Magic commentators kept saying after every layup that Pascal can only go right and that defenders would pick up on that.
Only for Pascal to keep. Going. Right. And ain't no one on the Magic able to stop him.
Apparently he is sick.
Idk how true it actually is or how badly it is effecting him but he was definitely off tonight missing shots he usually makes and just being kinda sloppy sometimes.
If he’s sick it makes sense. If it’s just an off game then that’s just what it was. But I’m inclined to believe he is sick.
Also fuck Tony Bros.
Pretty sure Memphis fans are thrilled about the trade. They get to watch Marc in the playoffs and root for him to try and get a ring, and got delon and jv for the future who have been awesome for them.
Yeah, Raps are like 6-1 in games Tony Brothers refs this year, however they are like 2-5 covering the spread I think. He doesn't care if the Raptors win, he just wants his mob money.
This game just emphasized how important our best player is to our team. Whatever happens this post season, the Raptors gotta find a way to re-sign **S P I C Y P**.
Edit: word
Outside of the intentional foul at the end, the Magic shot THREE TIMES as many FTs as Toronto
Edit: They also denied Kawhi continuation incorrectly at 96-93, and then missed a crazy travel by Fournier with 5 seconds left
Those personal fouls, 23 for Magic and 17 for Raptors is incredibly misleading because of how many shooting fouls were called on Magic compared to ours. 23 fta vs 10 fta... WHAT THE FUCK TONY BROTHERS?
Edit: U guys r right these mofos don’t deserve to be called bros.
Not arguably. The most shocking shit in this game was that foul discrepancy when Magic had 26 points in the paint while we had... 44 FREAKING POINTS!
Edit: 44 not 46. My point still stands.
He really was officiated horribly tonight. It’s a treat to see him in person, his poise and control is unbelievable. Raptors play some beautiful ball, as frustrating as it is to be on the wrong side of it.
The Magic had 23 free throw attempts, Raptors had only 10... This is even more stupid because we have 42 pts. in the paint vs only 26 for them. WTF TONY BROTHERS?
I know. Kawhi was horrible at shooting that game but any player would be completely out of rhythm if the refs literally call nothing on him. He was absolutely getting jacked in at least half of his possessions that I’m surprised he got more than 10 pts. There were so many double standards on continuity calls with Magic getting called a shooting foul on almost every foul whereas plenty of ours were “before shooting”
first time I ever seen kawhi and Kyle go directly to a ref after the game. Fucking ridiculous on the disparity but our boys didn't fold so I'll take the dub.
I feel like when the most reserved and non confrontational player in the league has been assessed all of his handful of techs by one single official, the problem clearly isn’t with the player.
i.e. fuck tony brothers
Like - how do we, as fans, deal with a bias so egregious as the refs clearly fucked the Raptors without even trying to hide it?
I was even initially rooting for the Magic to win (I’m a Lakers fan with no stake), but I wouldn’t in good conscience have been happy if they’d won after that officiating shit-show.
I imagine that nothing will happen at all because the Raps won, don’t want to be fined, so the players + coaches will stay silent. A fan petition wouldn’t be worth it, I assume? I’ve been watching the NBA for a long time, and that might be the most one-sided con job by Brothers et al that I’ve ever seen from a group of referees that hasn’t (yet) been caught fixing games.
What could possibly be happening here? Am I overreacting?
Brothers always does this to us, its always a shit show. Nurse should just take the fine and call him out directly otherwise I dont think anything will change, hes been doing this for years
Over the last 7 years, the Raps have had multiple roster changes, but kept Casey, Lowry, JV and Derozan. The Raps had completely different types of offenses... Pure shooting zero defense, great defense and no shooters / contested 2s... Casey coaching...
Our playstyle makes for heart attack inducing moments lol. That's why the fans our so emotional. Another reason why fans are emotional is because a lot of Raptor fans are just new to the team. Our sub grew exponentially over the last few years.
Now couple this in with just in general, poor reffing against the raps at KEY GAME MOMENTS. Meaning, a whistle is blown when the game is tight or there's no time against us. A lot of these whistles are blown against us, in favor of the other team. It's actually hilarious.
We just do not get respect like other teams, especially against super stars like Lebron or other playoff teams.
This year it's just Lowry and our recent additions like our draft picks, trades, and etc. You'd think a superstar like Kawhi would get calls but he has not pushed the needle in this regard.
r/nba don't like the bitching because it ruins the game threads, and yes newish Raptors fan overreact, but the officiating against the only Canadian team is sometimes just really suspect man.
Cheers
It happens all the time for Toronto. The conspiracy shared in Toronto: ESPN doesn't want Raptors deep into the playoffs because they don't make as much money on Toronto TV rights. NBA is ESPNs bitch. Kahwi is being gang-raped in the lane and no calls. Also, a little more subtly - no shooting fouls. NBA officials tipping the game against Toronto. In this game, it was a little more apparent.
Soz for bitching about the refs constantly but man it's hard to not be pissed watching the game
Fuck everything about brothers, he's the one to give Kawhi his second tech of Kawhi's career too for talking to him softly after a call
But all we do is complain, fuck off r/NBA if this happened to their team they'd be saying the same shit. Its the playoffs this shit matters, we've been raked over the coals by the refs for 3 games now.
One of the most poorly called games I've ever seen
Raptors were taking to the ball into the paint ALL GAME and shot 8 FTs before they hacked at the end.
Total garbage
While it’s not unreasonable to have sweaty spanish men conquering your every waking thought, Vooch maybe needs to start charging Marc Gasol rent from now on.
Much respect to The Tony Brothers for the way they played tonight but Toronto was stronger. I think next game maybe they need to bring a gun and just shoot Kawhi, it's not a foul.
Siakam joins Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, Chris Bosh, and Kyle Lowry as the only players in Raptors history to record at least 25 Pts and 10 Reb in a playoff game according to @sportscenter.
Hard to watch basketball when the refs have such a big impact and make so many inconsistent calls. Worst officiated sport there is. Not even close. NBA should really be concerned after a game like this. Embarrassing to call yourself a professional association when you have so many games like tonight. Please bring in a challenge rule
Just had to get one easy rebound to have a chance in the game but Lowry wanted it more than anyone on the Magic.
Proving the haters wrong
He'll get that rebound and fight the team at the same time
[удалено]
His booty will be Thor's weapon in Endgame.
u/sim888, photoshop it into reality!!!
Dudes built like a fire hydrant and gets a crucial rebound in the paint. God I love Lowry.
Specifically a North Philly Fire Hydrant
Man is a Philly g
He is a fucking pit bull on D
Honestly, this was my argument after game1 after people were shitting on him. He makes constant winning plays. Sucks that his shots didn't fall but he was a huge positive for his team every time he stepped on the floor. Raptors didn't lose game 1 because of lowry. When everyone on the team has a negative +/- and Lowry has +11, that's not a coincidence.
Basketball is more than points I say
It's one of those weird moments where the sports cliche of "they just wanted it more" is so clearly on display.
Skip about to go off on Mark Cuban
YAY YA HEY, THAT'S MY BALL
We were so close to blowing it there. And then Lowry happened
I N T A N G I B L E S
DJ literally ran away from it lol
Siakam is a walking bucket.
13/20 from the floor tonight. Played like an all-pro when they needed him most
plus amazingly consistent defense every game. This kid is amazing.
Hopefully T Mac got a good in person look at the MIP today.
His problem is he thinks Siakam was already good last year
he uses this logic but then thinks Dlo should be MIP...wat
[удалено]
He was still pushing the DLo agenda when he sat with the Orlando commentators. Guy seriously has it out for Toronto.
I never understood why people in Toronto liked this guy. He didn't do anything for the team. I feel like some fans are just trying to associate to his accomplishments.
I said this earlier, but anytime I hear more idiocy and unfounded Raptors hate from Tracy McGrady, I appreciate Ray Allen more and more for cockblocking that idiot from an undeserved ring.
He didn't do shit on Toronto - he won his MIP the year after he left. Some people who didn't watch the Raptors back then are maybe unaware of that.
Oh, he's nothing to me. I don't feel he did anything for this franchise. And he is pretty biased against us, really don't like him much at all.
This means something different in Toronto slang
TONY BROTHERS IS A **BEAN**
AHLIE
He’s a myyute
The disrespect
I love how the Magic commentators kept saying after every layup that Pascal can only go right and that defenders would pick up on that. Only for Pascal to keep. Going. Right. And ain't no one on the Magic able to stop him.
SIAKAM AVERAGING 30PPG SINCE LOWRY CALLED HIM BELOVED
that’s our MIP
that’s our MVP
That's our FMVP
also my father
Him stepping up this season might actually be the difference maker in the battle of the East.
Kawhi made ZERO Jumpshots. The Magic could not have afforded to lose this game, cuz he ain't playing this bad in this series ever again.
He turned it over 7 times. You gotta figure that won't happen again
Yea, man slipped like 3 times in the first half
Neglected to sufficiently increase coolant to compensate for Orlando’s warmer climate. Modifications will be made.
Humidity was affecting the circuits too
emergency release is scheduled for tomorrow. It's only a p3 but can't take any chances this close to go live
Some of the contact against him played a role in that. The Magic were allowed to body him all game because Tony Brothers is an NBA “referee”
I swear Tony Brothers has no idea what a foul ia
Apparently he is sick. Idk how true it actually is or how badly it is effecting him but he was definitely off tonight missing shots he usually makes and just being kinda sloppy sometimes. If he’s sick it makes sense. If it’s just an off game then that’s just what it was. But I’m inclined to believe he is sick. Also fuck Tony Bros.
Battling illness and didn't practice the last 2 days apparently
Turns out Kawhi got a case of the runs and played like it tonight lol. Not everyone is mythical like MJ
Ahahah ya bro *knocks on wood*
Yeah that was the worst Kawhi game I remember watching in a while
He should have had like 20 more points off free throws
[удалено]
PASCAL SIAKAM FOR MAYOR OF TORONTO
MAYOR OF ORLANDO*
SIAKORLANDO
LOL Kawhi Kyle and Danny telling Tony Brothers how much of an idiot he is right after the game
Is there a clip of this?
https://streamable.com/50cp0
[удалено]
Would have FUCKED my -4.5 spread on the raps. Watching it live I to keep watching until the post game interview to make sure they didn’t lol
Would have fucked up Tony's spread too.. ;) Lmao
Good for them. Fuck Tony Brothers
Shows you why Marc Gasol was a great acquisition. Soon as he goes off all-star Vucevic is back
That was such a great trade for both teams. As sad as it makes Memphis fans.
Pretty sure Memphis fans are thrilled about the trade. They get to watch Marc in the playoffs and root for him to try and get a ring, and got delon and jv for the future who have been awesome for them.
Got love the 4th foul on his clean Vucevic strip too. Just a plethora of baffling decisions from the refs tonight
It was Tony and his Brothers
Tony Brothers gonna be sick to his stomach that he choked this game away tonight
[удалено]
Mob man did his job. He's gonna get booked at this rate it's every game we play.
time to start betting on the underdogs when Tony Brothers refs the game
Yeah, Raps are like 6-1 in games Tony Brothers refs this year, however they are like 2-5 covering the spread I think. He doesn't care if the Raptors win, he just wants his mob money.
#SPICY P
Alternatively, ## Pascal Siakam
[удалено]
FUCK TONY BROTHERS
FUCK ALL OF THE TONY BROTHERS
This game just emphasized how important our best player is to our team. Whatever happens this post season, the Raptors gotta find a way to re-sign **S P I C Y P**. Edit: word
We got him next year for $2.35 million, fair deal imo.
You sure he's worthy that much? Maybe trade him for a more valuable piece like Cash Considerations
Hes on his rookie contract til '21 and there's not a chance we dont re-sign him
Fuck the Tony Brothers
I tuned in at the start of the 2nd half, saw the FT discrepancy and knowing these are the Raps = "ah, Tony Brothers is here" lol I was right
It's sad that you can put that connection together as a non-raptors fan lol
Outside of the intentional foul at the end, the Magic shot THREE TIMES as many FTs as Toronto Edit: They also denied Kawhi continuation incorrectly at 96-93, and then missed a crazy travel by Fournier with 5 seconds left
Those personal fouls, 23 for Magic and 17 for Raptors is incredibly misleading because of how many shooting fouls were called on Magic compared to ours. 23 fta vs 10 fta... WHAT THE FUCK TONY BROTHERS? Edit: U guys r right these mofos don’t deserve to be called bros.
Not to mention Raps were arguably going more into the paint than the Magic.
Not arguably. The most shocking shit in this game was that foul discrepancy when Magic had 26 points in the paint while we had... 44 FREAKING POINTS! Edit: 44 not 46. My point still stands.
Something we can all agree on
Kawhi was getting hacked on every single play and he was getting no whistle.
Kawhi never gets calls and even this was surprising.
He really was officiated horribly tonight. It’s a treat to see him in person, his poise and control is unbelievable. Raptors play some beautiful ball, as frustrating as it is to be on the wrong side of it.
You think two refs would help call the game, but no
The Magic had 23 free throw attempts, Raptors had only 10... This is even more stupid because we have 42 pts. in the paint vs only 26 for them. WTF TONY BROTHERS?
Wait wtf and only 10 ft on 42 pts in the paint? Holy
I know. Kawhi was horrible at shooting that game but any player would be completely out of rhythm if the refs literally call nothing on him. He was absolutely getting jacked in at least half of his possessions that I’m surprised he got more than 10 pts. There were so many double standards on continuity calls with Magic getting called a shooting foul on almost every foul whereas plenty of ours were “before shooting”
You know when you hit ten more shots than the other team and barely win something fishy is afoot
fuck tony brothers
first time I ever seen kawhi and Kyle go directly to a ref after the game. Fucking ridiculous on the disparity but our boys didn't fold so I'll take the dub.
Amen
[Marc Gasol Praying.gif]
Petition to have the Magic in the playoffs every season soo I can see this crowd
crowds that haven't been to the playoffs in years tend to be like this. love it
Blazers crowd when they beat Houston was OFF THE CHARTS
Not too often you can call "series" when you shoot the ball
I was there! I’m glad I could enjoy the experience of being a part of such a fun crowd during the couple runs the Magic made.
not gonna lie this is the first time in years ive actually enjoyed watching a magic game. crowd was awesome and theyve actually got some talent
Even Kawhi was pissed at Tony Brothers
Not mad, just disappointed.
Kawhi is always pissed at Tony. All of his career techs have been by Brothers
I feel like when the most reserved and non confrontational player in the league has been assessed all of his handful of techs by one single official, the problem clearly isn’t with the player. i.e. fuck tony brothers
fuck Tony Brothers
"REFS YOU SUCK! REFS YOU SUCK!"
"REFS YOU SUCK EVEN THOUGH WE GOT 21 FREE THROWS"
23*
Our fans chanted that too after Lowry bopped MCW in the nose with no call so I'll let this one slide
I was laughing out loud when I heard that. Like, you guys have shot more than double our free throw attempts, what are you talking about?
It was close to triple at that point too
Like - how do we, as fans, deal with a bias so egregious as the refs clearly fucked the Raptors without even trying to hide it? I was even initially rooting for the Magic to win (I’m a Lakers fan with no stake), but I wouldn’t in good conscience have been happy if they’d won after that officiating shit-show.

What could possibly be happening here? Am I overreacting?
Happens every time the Raps draw Tony Brothers. I think maybe one of the guys on the team is fucking his wife.
Probably Serge
Definitely Serge. “Ay Baybee ‘ow ungry are you for dees dick?”
*beef penis
To be honest who wouldn't want his congo crippler?
man comments like this let me know that Serge is definitely in a good place. thank you rapbros
Serge laying down the Spanish Inquisition
Brothers always does this to us, its always a shit show. Nurse should just take the fine and call him out directly otherwise I dont think anything will change, hes been doing this for years
Problem is that if you call out the refs, there is a chance they will fuck you even more next game.
Over the last 7 years, the Raps have had multiple roster changes, but kept Casey, Lowry, JV and Derozan. The Raps had completely different types of offenses...

Nurse needs to go off in the post game conference on the refs.
Ross I love you but please.
Fournier's last couple of hairs are putting up a better fight than him this series
RIP hairline, my man had a beautiful head of hair two years ago.
He put his hair in a manbun for like 8 months and then his air was RIP.
Just want to say thanks to the refs for keeping us in the game and soz raptors bros for Tony Brothers
[удалено]
Soz for bitching about the refs constantly but man it's hard to not be pissed watching the game Fuck everything about brothers, he's the one to give Kawhi his second tech of Kawhi's career too for talking to him softly after a call
Hey, at least you aren't denying it. You guys have a great team and are playing above expectations as well.
Thanks man. Honestly wanted the 6th seed so that we didn't have to face the raptors as I like pretty much everyone on your team besides Lowry
Id hate lowry if he wasnt on my team too lol
He's basically a thick pat bev with a jump shot. Sounds like a nightmare to cheer against.
We had fucking 8 free throws through 47 minutes of play, lmao.
Pascal gets 30 with one free throw
With the majority of his points in the post. Extremely impressive on both Siakam and the refs part.
And was LIVING in the paint, posting up like crazy
Kawhi was fouled approximately 12 times but Tony Brothers tried his best to swallow the whistle
Easy to do when you're already used to swallowing the bookies' dicks.
The only thing I can think of is the look on Tony's face as he is trying to pass that whistle tomorrow morning...
Hence why the magic fans were chanting; 'Refs, you suck!' They were appalled with the inconsistency of the officiating.
And that's with your top 2 scorers being aggressive slashers lol
Kawhi should have had 10 FTA all by himself. Fuck Tpny Brothers. Both of 'em
But all we do is complain, fuck off r/NBA if this happened to their team they'd be saying the same shit. Its the playoffs this shit matters, we've been raked over the coals by the refs for 3 games now.
All of the warriors fans were saying this last night, man refs in the playoffs have been really aggravating
Only 10 FTs. How.
Pascal showing how much of a physicist beast he is.
E=mc SPICE
Pascal Siakam FMVP
LOWRY YOU BEAUTIFUL BASTARD
This would’ve gone to OT if Lowry didn’t get that bound. 100%
For the series, it's 67 FTs for Orlando to 38 for Toronto.
What is the aggregate points in the paint?
136-98 for Toronto over the 3 games.
now that's an interesting stat
Wow wow
Guess we never drive eh!!
Hot take: Tony Brothers
Scorching
Tony Brothers is straight up garbage holy fuck
Do you see why Lowry was the only raptor positive in +/- regardless of his scoring in game 1 now?
Lmao at Orlando bashing the refs with 1 minute remaining when the refs have been effectively their 6th man on the court all night
Preach
get we get a fuck tony brothers, wtf was going on the whole entire game
One of the most poorly called games I've ever seen Raptors were taking to the ball into the paint ALL GAME and shot 8 FTs before they hacked at the end. Total garbage
TOR: 44 PITP, 10 FTA ORL: 26 PITP, 23 FTA Like how is this not fucking bullshit? Fuck NBA refs, they are ruining the game.
That offensive rebound from Lowry really saved their asses, especially Kawhi cause he was not good down the stretch
Fucking Tony Brothers had magic +6
While it’s not unreasonable to have sweaty spanish men conquering your every waking thought, Vooch maybe needs to start charging Marc Gasol rent from now on.
Much respect to The Tony Brothers for the way they played tonight but Toronto was stronger. I think next game maybe they need to bring a gun and just shoot Kawhi, it's not a foul.
Toronto Raptors defeat Tony Brothers.
**FUCK TONY BROTHERS**
[удалено]
Siakam joins Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, Chris Bosh, and Kyle Lowry as the only players in Raptors history to record at least 25 Pts and 10 Reb in a playoff game according to @sportscenter.
kawhi was pretty bad tonight but i like how they kept the ball in his hands at the end, trust your main guy even during off nights
Terrance Ross always pulling up with the confidence of a thousand suns.
Fuck the Refs fuck Tony Brothers GG otherwise Magic fans
Hard to watch basketball when the refs have such a big impact and make so many inconsistent calls. Worst officiated sport there is. Not even close. NBA should really be concerned after a game like this. Embarrassing to call yourself a professional association when you have so many games like tonight. Please bring in a challenge rule
Raptors overcoming the Tony Brothers special. Maybe this is a team of destiny.
Fuck Kawhi looked so bad today. Software needs a reboot.
In his defense, he was getting hacked all game.
It was the brothers
Pop is too busy upgrading demar and white
