WOW!!!!! Glad that is over! What a frigggin' collapse! No way Nets should have made it close. I would love to be there when they review the 4th quarter film. Got to make sure that never happens again. After the comeback who has MOMENTUM? Raps should have had it, back to back wins and a huge lead. The comeback will definitely take some steam out of the momentum, just hope it hasn't gone to the Nets!

Glad it was over .. Is damm right .. I actually turned it off Nets were only down 3 ... I couldn't bear to watch ...
If they won by 20 it may have also had a negative effect .. What I mean is they might have went back to New York thinking this is going to be easy ... I do love that in the last minute and half they hit the shots they needed .. DeRozan at he fould line was money ...
That was a scrape!
Kidd made the adjustments, Paul Pierce and The Old Scrap were being toyed with by the Raps defense. Considering how Kevin Garnett used to routinely annihilate Chris Bosh I took a great deal of satisfaction from that regardless of the outcome. Now the Raps have to close it out in Brooklyn - I hope Coach Casey doesn't forget to pack his scalpel.

Raps and Nets join 4 other series going 7 .. If Houston wins that would be 6 series going the distance .. I don't think that has ever occurred ..
First game seven too be decided by 1 point since 2001 .. Yes Raps were involved in that one against 76ers
Wow what a fight put up by this team, battling through all those bad calls. I love this team ! But am just so heart broken right now </3. Vince Carters shot still haunts me, I'm sure Lowry's will now too lol
Reffs are really a joke though how was Deron Williams not fouled out ????!!!???
I for one will not watch anymore NBA playoffs I have no reason to support this rigged league

Ban the officials for life and fine them as well. The NBA is a bush league except for the Raptors.
Yeah, the NBA is totally rigged...
With a complete sleazeball like Joey Fucking Crawford reffing Game 7...
Who then looks the other way... when the minority ref does the heavy lifting and throws the game.
Adam Silver wants MIA-BKN = $$$
But, really, the Raps played badly and were down 8-10 points all day long...
Plus Casey's reptile brain could only bark out a fucking Lowry ISO with 6 sec left...
Everybody in the building knew it was coming...
One on five against a Pierce/Garnett/Deron/AA/Kirilenko... what fun...
And not a Raptor rebounder in sight... just wow.
This is now the Armageddon Scenario...
Casey is extended... and Lowry leaves for a big contract back home in America.
Good call eh .. Although it is frustrating living in T.O ... We see more see you next year moments then great playoff runs ..How many homes teams lost game seven this year .. 1
What a great run by a team that was supposed to be tanking.
For the first time in years we have a young team that works hard, has lots of promise and a cast of characters you can support.
They pushed the most expensive team in the league to the edge and refused to give up.
I won't blame the refs since we had a good chance to win despite it all. Lowry should have dished the ball, someone would have had a clean look.
That being said, winning point scored by a guy who should have been fouled out??? Garnet didn't even touch Lowry, but he volunteers as substitute and ref obliges on cue. Complete embarrassment to the league to watch something like that unfold. Jason Kidd should enjoy the freebies because when Miami and Lebron start whining, Nets wont be seeing anymore handouts. Christmas is over.

Toronto teams need a bit of humility. Not the players & coaches, but pretty much everyone one else above them. Toronto is so desperate for a championship (aside from CFL) that even the smallest of accomplishments garners tremendous attention.
Even when Toronto teams make it to the playoffs, people are satisfied with only that achievement. In the Raptors case, let's face it, how far could they go with Miami? Maybe steal a game? Maybe 2 tops?
I think Toronto teams curse themselves by:
- Raptors...telling the first team you are facing after a 6 year drought to "Fuck Brooklyn".....before the 1st game was played. "We The North"...catchy...but I guess Brooklyn is probably the northern-most team still playing now...so "They The North".
- Blue Jays last year after the big player acquisitions were claiming to have the World Series won before the season even started.
- Leafs...well don't even get me started here.
How about getting some regular playoff runs and progressing each year closer & closer to the big championship before boasting about something?
A bit of humility will go a long way with these teams.
