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 2 years 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 2 years ago
  1. Some of those fouls were absolute ass.

  2. Caruso is the fucking man.

[–] flappypancaker@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] ExMachina_Disco_Club@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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 2 years ago

Damn Derozan choked like 5 times 😂😂

[–] Jicama-Smart@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

this is awful

[–] Party-Ad-7077@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Dorozan underrated foul merchant

[–] mares8@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] ThePKPowerhouse@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Crash Bandicoot is an amazing nickname for Caruso

[–] LividClient@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] GooseMay0@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

This guy is worth twice what he’s getting paid

[–] Pkt64@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] DontBanMe_IWasJoking@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Austin Reeves if he was better

[–] Btotherianx@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Refs forgot he wasn't on the Lakers anymore

[–] MrFishownertwo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Turon26@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Inevitable-Tourist18@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is incredible. Seriously.

[–] Groundhog_fog@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Can’t believe I saw Derozan miss those free throws

[–] MegamanGaming@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

Watching this felt like Raptors got robbed instead.

[–] Matto_0@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] exxhi@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Tambay420@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

Thats why he's the GOAT

[–] QuickRundown@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

That was beautiful

[–] rawdfarva@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Nah c'mon those calls were atrocious

[–] Artfan1024@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

NBA refs sure do like to make it about themselves.

[–] m4ps@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

GOAT confirmed?

[–] feh112@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Bro what is this mess

[–] Living_Astronomer_97@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Investigate those refs

[–] StrongSuggestion8937@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] AR5Colts@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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