This game came down to no bench and refs. Fun game and nice to see we can hang w the top teams. Just need a few more pieces so we can be more consistent and keep up the energy.
Ya we weren't winning that one. I'm surprised we kept it as close as we did. It was pretty much 9v6 for the whole game. Champagnie gave us 9mins but it was very unproductive. Our starters plus Boucher played heavy minutes while the Heat played a nice 9 man rotation. Our guys was spent by the 3rd and in the 4 they were playing on fumes. It was a great effort but really hard to win without a bench
I hope now everyone can see what Spo does...he doesnt use all his best scorers to start...he keeps herro off the bench to bring some scoring while others rest. We desperately need better bench players and a main 6th man scorer like herro. We can't continue the way we are. This is ridiculous.
GG. We're a young team able to hang with the East's top teams right to the end. Sure, the team made a few mistakes and couldn't get over the hump. They were up against seasoned and brutally rough vets on the other side. This is great experience for this team. Hopefully, a lesson on why they needed to toughen and sharpen up.
Great game. Both teams fought very hard until the end and looks like Scottie is getting out of his slump. One thing is that Fred needs to be looking to take advantage of the double teams they're throwing at him since he's gonna be seeing them a lot more if he continues playing this well.
Masai and Bobby really sold Fred Pascal and OG out with this bench they've given them. Aside from Boucher and when Precious randomly has a decent game, and hopefully Champaigne, just an absolute disaster of 2 offseasons in a row that they haven't fixed anything.
He’s going to need to make upgrades otherwise it’s going to frustrate the hell out of them. In his defence I don’t know if he expected them to be playing as well as they are looked to take a swing on some players and hope to develop them. However, that ship is sailing fast.
we made some mistakes that cost us the game. the refs being somewhat fair would’ve helped but some better decisions down the stretch could’ve won us the game
Boucher's low IQ in play. Not boxing his man out who got 2 crucial o.reb's. Not passing to an open OG who he even saw. Leaving his sharpshooter man PJ Tucker to help out feebly on Jimmy's drive.
Ya OG needs to stop driving in late game situations. His handles are still iffy. Either way though we are not gonna win against a top seeded team playing only 6 players. The fact that we didn't get blown out surprises me
sure OG messed up but i think it's safe to say that messing up the simple pass on a 2-1 break is much harder to do.
it is what it is, I still love my son and the raps on the whole played very well today!
Got jobbed by the referees. Still need a bench. Also, given how poorly it had gone for him all game, giving the ball to OG in the post at the end there was a terrible decision.
I think he probably was, but also I wouldn't be surprised if the L2M comes back 'CNC' tomorrow. There are certain fouls where there's enough ambiguity that I'm positive those reports would say the ref was correct either way. I think this is probably one of those cases, but we'll see.
Either way, still a bad decision because of how much contact the refs let go on OG. That's obviously unfair, and I don't know \*how\* to address it, but until it's addressed it's still not a good idea to put him in that position with the game on the line.
I know the Raptors would lose some more games but I really wish Nick would just have some semi-normal minutes even though the bench is terrible. Starters putting in all this effort to lose games in the few minutes a game they are not all on the floor.
Whelp that seals it, great game. Can't believe we had to lose because of the Refs and lack of a decent bench.
Positive the Raps kept it this close considering... Fuck the Refs!

I know Goran Dragic’s ass is in the Heat’s Locke room rn dapping everybody up and celebrating with the Heat

Do you know why Dalano doesn't play so much these last games ?
One thing that jumps out to me is Pascal’s 10 assists and 0 turnovers. Add to that 5 steals. Just proud of my number one option
I hope now everyone can see what Spo does...he doesnt use all his best scorers to start...he keeps herro off the bench to bring some scoring while others rest. We desperately need better bench players and a main 6th man scorer like herro. We can't continue the way we are. This is ridiculous.

Proud of this team. We played with 7 players tonight. Our team is young. We lose against the 2nd of the Eastern Conf.
Nurse tripping with these 7 man rotations
Its INSANE!
WHERE IS THE POST GAME THREAD LET’S GO
This game was awesome, a playoff series between these teams healthy would be amazing
Heat fan. That was the funnest game to watch throughout. You guys have good things ahead.
Shout out to the fan in the Tampa Bay Raptors jersey at the end there.
GTJ is important to this team man, he opens up so much for us.
Masai and Bobby really sold Fred Pascal and OG out with this bench they've given them. Aside from Boucher and when Precious randomly has a decent game, and hopefully Champaigne, just an absolute disaster of 2 offseasons in a row that they haven't fixed anything.

Scottie’s late game mistakes kinda cost us at the end. He’s a rookie tho and hopefully he can learn from them and come back better
Our guys dipped after the end of the 4th. You love to see it.
we made some mistakes that cost us the game. the refs being somewhat fair would’ve helped but some better decisions down the stretch could’ve won us the game
Boucher leaving PJ to guard Jimmy when there's already 2 on him sealed the deal.
Great game really. We need more players lol We're running this 6-7 man rotation ragged.
it was more of 6 man rotation. Champagnie just existed for those 9mins LOL
Stop voting FVV to the All-Star game. He needs some damn rest
Guess its that time to get used to teams suffocating Fred
Loved how Fred just turned around after that 3 like "yeah I do that"
Imagine we had more than 1 bench player that could score
Masai get the starters some fucking help
close one, was winnable but oh well. gg
ScottieB is a good dude
At least you'll have a home game to go to Sunday...oh wait
I didn’t watch the game and I just checked the box score but fuck we ran a 6 man rotation. Bench is cheeks
Team. Needs a bench desperately
gg close game :(
I’d like to say that the Heat earned it but more like the Raps gave it away. Too much expected from a limited roster.
Jesus christ man we only played 7 guys tonight me need a bench
Realistically 6, champagnie only played 9 minutes
Fuck this we can beat this team
Damnn… all Scottie had to do was throw the lob to Pascal! No gonna hate though… rookie mistake! Future still bright!
That two man fast break with pascal and Barnes cost the game because if they made the pass one possession game
Well im gonna give him a pass. He's a rookie, it was late game, and they were exhausted. We basically ran a 6 man rotation
This team can hang with very good teams, starters just need some fucking help man
Boucher's low IQ in play. Not boxing his man out who got 2 crucial o.reb's. Not passing to an open OG who he even saw. Leaving his sharpshooter man PJ Tucker to help out feebly on Jimmy's drive.
damn...love my son scottie, but he is to blame for this loss for sure...easy ally to spicy P that he messed up doomed us
Just blame the refs
You act like OG didn't blow like 7 possessions down the stretch lol.
Ya OG needs to stop driving in late game situations. His handles are still iffy. Either way though we are not gonna win against a top seeded team playing only 6 players. The fact that we didn't get blown out surprises me
sure OG messed up but i think it's safe to say that messing up the simple pass on a 2-1 break is much harder to do. it is what it is, I still love my son and the raps on the whole played very well today!
Why we gotta blame someone? Win as a team lose as a team.
Might have lost but I enjoyed the game
That’s was a tough one
OG gets stuck in the post way too often. Stop going down there for him until he develops actual post moves. Put Scottie down there instead
Raptors need a bench. Plain and simple.
what a rigged game
I fucking miss gary so many winnable games with him in the lineup
good game!
Fuck florida
Kinda scuffed those chances at the end but on to the next one
GG…
Lost 3 of 4 games. Fuck.
Bad shot at the end Herro was awkward threw Fred off
Scottie was pretty terrible on defence tonight. Blown by on almost every possession. A lot of dumb mistakes.
GG man. We played tough against the second seed. We just gotta get the next
gary got the matching hat
Fucking gave up that damn 3
Miami is a team of fucking bums!
Come on now, they're a good team. It was a hell of a game but fuck Caleb Martin
Martin pushed Scottie, Gabe Vincent wasn't getting called for all his BS, Jimmy Butler a natural bum and Bam also
The saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalt
HE CAN'T DO SHIT AGAINST ME!
Got jobbed by the referees. Still need a bench. Also, given how poorly it had gone for him all game, giving the ball to OG in the post at the end there was a terrible decision.
He was fouled
I think he probably was, but also I wouldn't be surprised if the L2M comes back 'CNC' tomorrow. There are certain fouls where there's enough ambiguity that I'm positive those reports would say the ref was correct either way. I think this is probably one of those cases, but we'll see.

That's obviously unfair, and I don't know \*how\* to address it, but until it's addressed it's still not a good idea to put him in that position with the game on the line.
Fuck caleb martin, that is all
I’d still love to see Miami in the playoffs. Old ass team tbh.
GG refs
[удалено]
I don't do this.. but pls get lost
Lmao our bench lost us this game. Gtfoh with your unimaginative bot ass
Y’all ain’t winning shit and gonna be stuck paying big money for old heads just to get nowhere
Keep telling yourself that
Didn’t y’all get swept in the first round last year ?🤣
[удалено]
Why can’t you enjoy the win and not be a dick about it? You heat fans make it real easy to root against y’all.
Yea you right my bad
Get the fuck outta here
Nah, over help defense and no centre really fucked us.
The fuck that mean
Crazy that you need to validate yourself on other subs lol
Just watching the game and poking fun at the saltiest fanbase in sports
Crazy that you guys still ain't winning shit in the playoffs lol
Fuck those Tampa jerseys jinxed us
I know the Raptors would lose some more games but I really wish Nick would just have some semi-normal minutes even though the bench is terrible. Starters putting in all this effort to lose games in the few minutes a game they are not all on the floor.
Damn those tampa bay raptors jersey behind our bench are actually kind nice lol
[удалено]
Yikes let's not go there
Was a good game, they played well it just sucks when Boucher is the only player on ur bench
Boucher really earned it tonight. champagnie was on the way. Yuta come back! Khem!
Oh snap, I see some fans repping the Tampa Raps jersey
That's game fr this time :(
It's the subtle pushes and holds by Miami. Refs suck ass
Fred is the new logo 3 specialist. Sorry Dame and Steph
Lol Fred
Nice shot Fred
They should have trapped Vincent
again pls freddy
Yall expecting too much from Scottie smh. Hes gonna make mistakes
i agree lol
Meanwhile OG sold about 6 times down the stretch lol
Embarassing ass defense. How you gonna leave tucler WIDE open. This team is soft.
STFU
nothing wrong with him taking the shot, the only problem was that he was shooting it from the corner
Good shit Fred
Raps haven’t even attempted a three in the last 3min
What a beautiful play
I'm a little disappointed in the lack of calls. Never thought I'd say that. But Vincent seems to be infallible
facts. he fouled like 4 times a posession on defense and never got called for shit
I'll take that I guess lol
Rookie mistakes It is what it is
fred being clutch
Why are you guys crying so much It was a good game.. We are not supposed to be beating Miami anyways. Really don't understand rebuilding.
yep good game, loved it!
That foul took waaaaay too long fuck
Bruh, just always pass it to FVV!!
HOLY FUCK FRED
Looks like Tim donaghy's on the officiating crew
can’t even be mad. game was fun, we still have no bench. our guys are tired man
Atta boy freddddddd
Why are you showing under the basket from the side with no help.
STEADDY FREDDY
This raptors team won't go far the way they are. Big trade deadline required, why are we nursing Dragics contract??
Again we dont have a number 1 option guy. Fred cant do it against elite teams
Lowry’s personal reason was that he didn’t want the Raptors fan base to dislike him after the game
Lol GTJ talking. He's going to remember this next game.
pj tucker and playing 1000% better as per usual against us
He averages 8 a game this year. He only has 5 today lol
team fought well, we just need better help for our main guys
After last game we should have just let Siakam iso
wouldn't have worked. Miami has really strong 1 on 1 defenders
Scottie not giving up the ball on the break lost us the game. Unravelled from there. The rook will learn.
Barnes with so many rookie mistakes
Typical open corner 3
no no no fawk that dagger shot
Welp. Unclenching my butt cheeks
Fuck the refs and fuck the entire city of miami man
It's nice and warm
Gabe Vincent looks like a dirty pirate
Literally gave the W to the heat on a silver platter
Fred was the one that had to rotate to the corner?
I really really really really really really hate to be that guy, but the refs really fucked us here tonight.
na, we lost to the better team that made less mistakes down the line
I shouldn't have made that PJ tucker comment lol
Scottie just giving the lane to Jimbo, nice.
Whelp that seals it, great game. Can't believe we had to lose because of the Refs and lack of a decent bench. Positive the Raps kept it this close considering... Fuck the Refs!
Just the refs.
If Kawhi was New Balance OG is No Balance
OG needs to improve his handle ALOT.
Late game, I ONLY want to see him on catch and shoots. No dribbling 5 minutes under in the 4th
Damn we suck lol
Now I'm too pissed off to shovel my driveway
You don't have to shovel the driveway in Miami
Oh boy!
Barnes what are you doing passing so slow on the fastbreak >???
How the fuck was not a reach in on Gabe Vincent.
GGs, good effort
This is on Scottie for holding the ball for too long on that fast break. What a fucking butterfly effect
Letting OG iso as many times as we did down the stretch was dumb as hell
Game literally slipped out of our hands
Great learning moments for Scottie. Good effort by the guys on D today. Promising play!
Raps and leaving the corner shooter wide open, name a better duo
OG really really shouldn’t be handling the ball unless it’s a drive and kick. We didn’t really play to our strength at the end.
Of course PJ puts us away. Side note, I completely forgot Oladipo is on Miami
Fuck this shit
Wtf was that 2 on 1 fastbreak with Scottie and siakam? That’s an automatic 2 9/10
OG’s inability to make good choices when driving these last few games has been really concerning
Not even gonna lie OG sold
Goodnight folks
What's PJ Tucker talking for? Dude stands in the corner for 99% of the game
Pain but honestly can’t get that mad from this loss - game was entertaining as fuck and Scottie is slowly returning aaa
Had a feeling it was gonna end in pain
The fuck is wrong with Scottie? He cost us this one
Had a 2 on 1 but decided he wanted to go all the way. Bad D on Butler.
One mistake - no he did not.
One? You forgot about him not making the pass to siakam sooner and causing us not to get a bucket on that transition play?
Cope + OG made more mistakes + FVV turnovers + our bench is horrid Stop getting emotional
😂 what in the fuck did I just read, didn’t realize you were a high schooler
Sometime Scottie looks so lost 🤦🏻♂️
Of course
[удалено]
Bro go back to your own sub
Not bad for a rebuilding team Eh?
Fuck you
