That free throw rebound had shades of Kobe vs Dallas https://youtu.be/zanS2bJnm5w?si=7Wut2wJ4kRrqxgyB

About two bs fouls and a flop

[–] 69_Beers_Later@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Why would you turn up the AC if it's cold?

Derozan choke compilation*

Need my boy in Denver

Don’t doubt the Carus-goat

[–] Rickblood23@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
  1. Some of those fouls were absolute ass.

  2. Caruso is the fucking man.

[–] flappypancaker@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

So I guess the whole “NBA is cracking down on jumping into a defender while taking a jump shot for free throws” is officially dead huh.

Derozan jumped into his defender to get those last 3 free throws and the ref was right there…this league 🤮

[–] RyanFoundTheOldOne@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

“Turn up the AC it’s cold in here” is one of the worst calls I’ve ever heard a sports announcer make.

Two takeaways:

  1. DeRozan deserves a lifetime ban from winning Clutch Player of the Year
  2. Caruso remains a defensive beast who deserves to be on a winner
[–] 1of1czr@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Damn Derozan choked like 5 times 😂😂

[–] Jicama-Smart@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

this is awful

[–] Party-Ad-7077@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Dorozan underrated foul merchant

[–] mares8@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Damn Raptors really threw that. You have a full team of lengthy boys and Caruso steals your rebound ??

[–] ThePKPowerhouse@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Crash Bandicoot is an amazing nickname for Caruso

[–] LividClient@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

All Five of the Refs Game Saving/Winning Plays from one of the craziest comebacks ever*

[–] GooseMay0@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How is the win probability so low? It's a one possession game. Ya Toronto has the ball but still it's not THAT uncommon for a team to win in this situation.

[–] gosuruss@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

https://stats.inpredictable.com/nba/wpCalc.php

20 seconds left, with the ball, up 3, is 96.8% according to this site.

Opposing team has to foul because shot clock is off, if you go up 4 or 5 here you are super likely to win.

100% is memeing at the end

[–] kokaine21@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

People say ref ball but we’ve been fucked over by the refs too. That 71 point game by Mitchell was bullshit and yet refs were blowing the whistle like crazy that game. With that being said Scottie Barnes is going to have a hell of a season

[–] motherseffinjones@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

God I’m so happy to see people having the same opinion as me. I felt robbed after watching that game. Though I will say the raptors definitely helped

[–] AShinyTorchic@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Definitely winning plays by AC but I think the real MVP was the refs

Holy fuck that was awful officiating

[–] giraffesbluntz@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This guy is worth twice what he’s getting paid

[–] Pkt64@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Imagine I didn't watch basket and you showed me this clip. You killed any chance of me ever watching this league.

[–] usernamefight2@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I remain angry the Lakers didn't give AC a contract.

Austin Reeves if he was better

[–] Btotherianx@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Refs forgot he wasn't on the Lakers anymore

[–] MrFishownertwo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

this is just a bunch of bullshit calls not an impressive comeback

[–] Turon26@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

DeMar gotta pay for Caruso for a week because he bailed him out so many times this game.

This is incredible. Seriously.

[–] Groundhog_fog@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Can’t believe I saw Derozan miss those free throws

[–] MegamanGaming@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That was the softest end of regulation I have ever seen, holy shit. I love AC, but my god wtf was that garbage...

[–] lolhaha95@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Watching this felt like Raptors got robbed instead.

[–] Matto_0@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That offensive foul on Siakem would have pissed me off lol, that was so foul baiting.

[–] exxhi@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yo someone hit me up with that Alex Caruso average player rant /edit lmao

[–] Tambay420@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

damn demar is choking this early in the regular season now? he can't even wait for the playoffs?

[–] Low_Delay2835@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Thats why he's the GOAT

[–] QuickRundown@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Lol this is like playing a video game and the computer won’t let you pass because your level is too low.

[–] Acework23@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This only makes feel bad for such a good roleplayer to be on such a bad team.

[–] No-Government-9884@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If I was a Raptors fan watching that I would have lost my shit. Those foul calls were so fucking what’s wrong with the NBA in clutch moments these days.

I felt Demar’s frustration when he couldn’t close those foul shots. It’s not like he’s nervous, he’s playing for the 8th seed and a 42-40 record unless he gets traded.

[–] Mountain-Way6904@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That was beautiful

[–] rawdfarva@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Nah c'mon those calls were atrocious

[–] Artfan1024@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

NBA refs sure do like to make it about themselves.

[–] m4ps@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I had to stop watching after those two foul calls. What is going on with this league? Please someone tell me was it the same ref each time? It’s fuckn suspicious

[–] emperornel@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Alex Caruso is such an integral and pivotal part of a team, he makes the plays and defends the best players on the other team. He is a big part of why the Lakers won in 2020.

[–] pokerandhoops@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

GOAT confirmed?

[–] feh112@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Bro what is this mess

Investigate those refs

"He was too early as he came..."

[–] AR5Colts@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Seems the Raptors knew they we’re going to lose.
