Raptors (2-1) at Celtics (1-2) Game #4 11/5/14

[Vox_Populi]

The C's shot 51% from the field, 39% from 3 and 94% from the line. They out rebounded Toronto too.

Disturbing to lose after such an offensive performance.

But we were lucky to even be in it at the end with 28 turnovers...

[mgent]

Refs gave momentum to raps, tons of bad calls.  Turnover in the final minute by Smart is a thousand times worse then all our other turnovers.

The foul they called on Olynyk was horrible.  We should have never been forced to go for 3.

This type of thing will put me right back in the clinic

LOL

The refs seemed to be on the take, that one ref should IMO be investigated!!!


But the C's didn't deserve to win, they play with the BBIQ of a bunch of 12 year olds. Defense is awful, passing some of the worse I have ever seen, effort/energy lacking 

Early but they look worse than I would have imagined.

What's even worse is the fact that we get screwed out of games by these officials, which results in a poor record, which inevitably leads to getting screwed in the draft lottery.  As usual lol.  Still, I think that Rondo ansdSullinger played really well, and Green also did early, especially with those 3 blocks, but everyone else sucked.  KO looked horrible on defense, but that's never going to change.  Oh well, at least he had a double double.  Marker.

Yeah, very disappointing. My dislike of Turner has been renewed.

We absolutely annihilated them on the glass, though.  55-24.

Idk, my favorite was the offensive foul on Green when he purposely tried to slide around the guy, or was it the other offensive foul where the dude slid under Smart as our rookie was airborne?  What about the call where Bradley was fouled twice, with the last one coming right in front of the official (those are my personal favorites (sarcasm))?  There are just so many to choose from

This kind of loss is absolutely not acceptable.

If we reduce the turnovers by 20 .....we should have blown them out .....

We can't control the refs

But we sure can stop screwing up all the effort with sloppy play

[Clench123]

Rondo got triple double.  Too bad it was in a loss.

[incoherent]

This is going to happen a lot this year. We don't have a go to player in the 4th. Look at Lowry, he killed us in the final two minutes. We need someone with his go to qualitu.  Instead we turned it over on our most important possession.

part of that comes from the 10-15 less shots from all the turnovers though.  still a good advantage on the boards.  we just couldn't take care of the ball enough to hold the lead.  it sucks, we had a really good chance for a nice win.

Agreed - I'm hoping we can get to the point where a few bad calls from the refs won't cost us the game.  I'm still mad about that charge call against Rondo vs. Dallas.

But it's the NBA.  I don't even know how some of these refs have jobs.

We lost so many winnable close games last year..... I pretty much chain smoked
