Just raps being raps and Sam being Sam, we just plain suck during clutch times.

All I can say is that TJ Ford is a selfish me first player. Up 3 with 45 seconds left. He should be running the shot clock down and then give it to Bosh in the post but instead he takes an off balance runner. What a ****ing joke. Next position he does nothing with the ball and takes a bad jumper too.

I am sick of this team losing these games. This is was one of them unofficial must win games. Hopefully, we don't get any of the, "It was a good lesson for us" ****.

They should have been Phoenix and now they should have beaten Dallas. Instead they come up with a couple of choke jobs. The Raptors find ways to lose and no fan should take that this year. Last year and the year before was fine but not anymore. If we want to talk about the playoffs, we have to win these games. What a ****ing joke.

I knew a miss free throw in crunch time was gonna come back and haunt us, this sh*t always seems to happens

I didn't notice that while Bosh had fifteen boards, the next highest Raptor total was Peterson with five, and nobody else had more than three. Yuck.

True, Parker missing that tech was huge.

I put this loss on the coach, absolutely pathetic coaching in the last couple of minutes of the game, Sam just hasn't learned how to pull out close games in the end, and I doubt he ever will.

- the last two offensive possesions consisted of TJ Ford jumpers

- two jump balls that we had the height advantage twice and unable to gett

- unable to make a defensive stop to save his life.

a better coach would have equalled a win today. I can't wait till this guy is gone.

The refs were ------ terrible, Bosh only had 6 pts in the second half due to not gettin any calls

I know a lot of people are going to be angry about this loss but did anyone not see that coming? Its not just the Raptors that struggle holding down a better team like the Mavs. That is a difficult-*** thing to do. We obviously weren't going to maintain a fifteen point lead on that team for the whole game, you know they are going to string together scores, aided and abetted by the officials, and make for a tight finish. The "basketball games only need to be two minutes long" cliche rears its head again.

Whats most frustrating about this loss is that we basically played the same way the whole game. It was good enough in the first half but not the second.

Trust me. The whole time I knew it was coming just like I did for the Suns game. No matter what the lead is against any team I knew we are going to lose these kind of games every single time. It is same old same old and I am sick and tired of it.

It hurts just as bad knowing you are going to lose than thinking your going to win.

I am still pissed at TJ. What a selfish play. We had a possession up 3 with 45 seconds left to win the game and he ignores Bosh and takes an off balanced jumper with lots of time on the clock. You get the ball to Bosh and let him kick it out if he is in trouble. What a collapse and what a joke. The worst part is I knew it would happen the entire time. It is getting too predictable.

And I also have a couple of things to say about Bosh..I know he is a great player, sometimes simply saves us offensively but there are a lot of ifs..
At first defense..horribly,especially team defense..I'm italian but I'm pretty honest when I say BArgnani..a rookie is already way better defender than Chris..
And then about the game.. 2 plays of Bosh..the alleyhoop...c-mon just take the ball if u see u can't score and another more important thing..That "outstanding" block on Dirk..that was stupid play..let's ****ing take the ball.. it's unnecessary to throw it in that situation..u do that in the first quarter..not when there's a close game. I 'm angry and I'm exagerrating,but Bosh has to learn those things right now..taht is the basics, be efficient, not spectacular when needed

there are a lot of calls/non-calls the Mavs can complain about too...

Mitchell told them not to switch on the final play, Mo forgot and left Howard to follow Dirk through the screen, though Bosh was already with him.

vi3t_boi11

Not as much as the Raps, especially in the second half

cant really blame it on the calls...if the Technical is hit or if TJ makes that shot(or a great pass), if one of the jump balls is secured(it was Bosh vs. Buckner for petes sake), if Howrad isnt allowed to set up camp under the rim...

There are too many mental lapses by the Raps to put this one on the refs...
