    Umm people do realise this is pro sports right??
    complaining about being 'shown up' at this level of play is childish and sour grapes. This is the elite level of the sport.. if you can't stop someone from kicking your ass, taking and making a 3 or performing a flashy dunk when the game is out of reach.. well too bad, you're paid to take and give beatings.

    If this was HS or college, then fine there's a disparity of talent to be had.. but the NBA??? take your whuppings like a man.

    FYI, you'll never see me bitch about a team dropping a late 3 or pouring it on vs the Celtics.. I'll be pissed at the Celtics for their performance, but not at the other team.

    That's not really a complaint, so much as a factual statement. It doesn't bother me that the Celtics are dickish collection of players.

    Other examples of factual statements that aren't complaints:

    - KG is an overrated offensive player
    - Rajon Rondo's freakishly long fingers are creepy
    - Boston won't win the championship this year

    I just speak the truth...Can you deny that running out the clock when the game is in hand is the proper thing to do??? There is an understanding in the NBA that in that position the offensive team dribbles out the clock by the half court line and the defensive team doesnt play D.

    There really is no gray area on this matter...either you are a dick and try to score, or a respectable player and dribble it out.

    So why does it matter? If it doesn't have any impact on the outcome of the game, its irrelevant.

    How am I being ignorant? Its about wins and losses. If these end of the game meaningless baskets don't affect the outcome, how is it important?

    I never said whether I thought it was right or not, I just think the Raptors are being little babies for even mentioning it.

    You know what...Im gonna change my tune...Im GLAD you guys did that to TOR. Play up the role! Let the C's be assholes to everyone. It will just make it that much sweeter when you lose to the Cavs or Lakers in the playoffs

    Can we at least all agree that Vince Carter sucks? Pretty sure residue from Carter's tenure in Toronto is the cause of the whiny attitude.
