    What? They know what a foul on Toronto is? These refs are about to graduate high school ball!

    I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that, by your comments, our 4-11 showing (including LMA's putback there) from 4' and in is a product of some referee assistance?

    All I ask is that they call it the same way on both ends. That's all I want. Is that so much to ask?

    There is contact on literally every drive by Dame, Wes, Mo, etc, but the refs aren't calling shit. Yet, all the Raptors have to do is drive into the hole and they get a whistle.

    The worst part is they don't get calls at home either.

    15-4 FT advantage now.

    11 PF to only 6 for Toronto.

    I think the refs have been pretty good actually. Dame's just not finishing.

    And WTF has happened to his jumper? No confidence in that midrange shot these days so he's just taking it to the rim and getting swatted.

    I would just make Valanciunas shoot from the perimeter. Give him the shot. Make him prove he can make it.

    No we haven't. Dame has only attempted 2 threes in this game, but he's taken 7 shots.

    BlazerCaravan, the question I asked about the block was for a couple reasons.

    1) We're 3rd-to-last in the league in blocks, and last in steals. Stotts said that he didn't want to gamble on D going for blocks and steals, and I can understand that philosophy even if I don't personally agree with it for our team.
    2) The blocks we HAVE gotten this year are mostly the Lopez-at-the-rim variety--so I didn't know if LMA actually went out and blocked a mid-range J or if GameCast messed up or what.

    Nothing sinister, I promise. I'm much more open when I praise or hate.
