So Oubre just got tackled by two Raptors under the basket with no call, leads to an fastbreak and as Boucher went up to dunk JJ pushed him, non basketball play...had words with someone, maybe a ref and got ejected. Pretty much a 7 point swing, 9-0 run for the Raps after what was a tie game.

How about we try to pass the ball in to Ayton against the 98 lb. backup center?

Yup. He looks unengaged and it's hard to blame him. He's gotten 1 shot this half after a killer first half.

Booker still rocking the silly head band.
Let's make it 25 then.
Let’s just say the first digit will be a 2.

Proud of the guys tonight. Refs really handed the Raptors the game.

Tough loss on a true buzzer beater. Hard fought game, not pretty. Ball movement was better, Booker looked better, Bridges had some key plays and ended up with a really nice line. TJ's game is a mess right now and our defense sucks.

I guess TJ is awaiting a trade now.

Frustrating loss. Probably the most frustrating one of the season for me. First it was the lack of effort, then it was the poor officiating, then it was the buzzer beater. What a kick in the dick.

I've had it with Igors shit. I think a tech's could have been prevented had he shown a little ire towards the officiating. C'mon man your team is getting rolled by the refs and you just stand there and take it as tour team piles up T's. Maddening.

Deandre Layton is what I'm calling him from here on out. Unless he gets better at D. Late on help and the team loses at the buzzer. He's probably gotten worse as the season rolls on. Didn't think that was possible but here we are.

Melton and Bridges can't continue to be Benders out there. We can barely afford one offensive zero in the starting lineup. Two is untenable.
I cannot come up with any reasons why Bender is even on this roster. If he is still on the roster shortly after the trade deadline I will throw up.

Suns have fought relentlessly to get back into this game.
It was a heck of a game. Our reverse jinx to start the thread almost worked. They make just a few more FTs and they win. Oubre's 3 doesn't go in and out, they win. The fought hard. Can't complain.

Siakam (probably MIP this season) scores the game winner. Bridges didn't do a perfect job but the problem is that after funneling him towards the center, Ayton went incredibly soft at the driver. Ayton better learn how to use his gifts (and the org better provide him with somebody able to teach).

He's too laid back.
