Egregious officiating in the Heat vs Hawks. Trey's defenders are getting called for fouls when they aren't within 5ft of him.
Not that it matters but refs in the Raptors v.s 76ers have been pretty bad too.

It's like a fight scene with Adam West's Batman.

All the hallmarks of a great game then!

Complaining about bad calls is a core element of sports fandom and it was otherwise a good game. So, yeah, it was pretty great game.

This might shock you but the Raptors lost by 10. Shot 9-33 from 3. While Philly shot 14-31 from 3. Otherwise the Raps had more points from the line, more rebounds, more steals, less turnovers. As usual they pretty much lost because they shot 3s worse than the other team.

That's frustrating. It seems like having a great football team with a terrible kicker who keeps blowing games.

11-16. They are only a game out of the play in but something needs to be done. It's time to move on from or at least augment this core group.
@gnilma back me up here!

I thought we agreed on the fact that having multiple primary scorers in your team playing the same type of game isn't very good for your team. They need to make up their mind. If they want to build around Barnes, then trade Siakam for a good shooter to compliment Barnes' game. If they want to keep Siakam, then pay the man and deal Barnes away. I don't think keeping both is good for them. It's apparent that they need better shooting. If you watch their games lately, the 3 ball not falling is common, but on top of that, it's either Siakam going off or Barnes going off. They take away each other's shots and don't really compliment each other. Make up their mind, trade one keep one, I think that's the best route for them.
Do they have any underutilized guys who might have trade value? That seems like the key to improving via trade: trade someone you're not using for someone you will use.
