NBA referees ruin a really fun Lakers-Raptors game 😡

Darko Rajaković was right to be furious.

Reading the two minute report from the Celtics v Pacers game was frustrating. It feels like the refs don't even know what the rules are at this point. Silver needs to publicly address the officiating gaps.

[@xRawPower]

Problem is, the NBA loves all the extra attention they get from situations like this. They're the 1A story on ESPN the next day, trending on social media, Stephen A. pretends to be mad and whoever is across from him gets to pretend anyone who disagrees with him is Broussarded, etc.. The short-sighted nature of a lot of businesses nowadays is concerning.

[@reconnaisance]

Silver does nothing

[@ramzeezthamightygod]

Pretty egregious. What annoys me is that lebron never gets a tech, or ejection for throwing the biggest meltdown tantrums I’ve ever seen on an NBA floor. Meanwhile they eject jokic Giannis Jaylen brown and Tatum for the most random /bs reasons. Refs have too much leeway and power. For techs especially I wish there were actual clear guidelines instead of just allowing a ref to be so bipolar with those calls

[@sheandunkley9708]

Gotta love the Lakers fan in the comment section. Obviously a casual watcher of basketball. That game was so one sided. Lakers can get fouls called for them no one is disputing that. The raps only getting one foul call in the 4th when all they were doing was attacking the basket. Come on man just admit the fix was definitely in for the Lakers to win. Go kick rocks and open your eyes

[@durag7th]

Stop with the BS comment dude the video was horrible especially since the only reason he hit Scottie Barnes was because quickly pushed AD with both hands in his side that’s a foul

[@sheandunkley9708]

@@durag7th and here we go to my point of a casual watcher of NBA basketball. It wasn't the fouls called that was a problem, it was the fouls not called. That's the issue! Go back and watch the 4th and tell me there was only 1 shooting foul committed. Don't worry I'll wait........

[@durag7th]

@@sheandunkley9708 dude it was a lot of fouls that was missed against the lakers in fourth that was clear to see the raptors was small and was getting away with a lot in 4th you a casual hater that need to actually watch the game

[@Claviceptic]

@@durag7th The point being made is that the Raptors are 4th in points in the paint this season. They scored 70 points in the paint in this game. It's inconceivable for a team that scores that many points in the paint is only taking 2 free throws in an entire quarter of basketball. The Raptors should have had more free throws, that's all that needs to be said about the game.

[@sheandunkley9708]

@@durag7th 23 to 2 the most lopsided 4th Q foul calls all season and your saying that the refs missed calls for the Lakers. At least y'all got calls. Come on man that's a poor come back to prove your point. A foul is a foul no matter a team's size. Now I'm wondering if you even watched the game or just checked the box scores and listened to LA media discribe the events of the game. It's ok man I understand the thoughts of casual fans and box score readers 📙. Do your thing!

[@FlamingBasketballClub]

Refs have a history of being unfair to Raptors.

[@roguereviews8141]

I thought it was called basketball, not refereeing. Why do the officials in basketball think they are the main attraction?

[@raptorschamps2099]

The fix is in

[@raph8505]

funny part is, in the last 2-minute report. the refs posted that they list 3 more additional called on the Raps

[@michelej8571]

You know damn well the tef calling fould had money on that game

[@DGlaky]

I didn't watch the game but the examples you gave do not help your point

[@sergiolopezgavina2939]

Blame the NBA

[@Simon_Sez]

HOMERS! 😂😂😂 I get it tho, it’s hard to be objective when you have an emotional attachment to the team lol

[@andyguido7771]

Lebron ruined nba viewership with his BS politics. Oh and rigging results and working with gambling entities also doesn’t help the final product.

[@huerosapo]

Lebron is man made!

[@WaleedAlvi]

This could have been one of the games of the season, but that last part of the game compel ruined it! This is so embarrassing for the NBA

[@Akziis]

No, you're not allowed to touch people when they are going up for a shot. Please stop lying.

[@rickyquanjr.8923]

Shake my head 😢

Refs are preparing for the Playoffs.

[@PaulVic11]

C'mon bruh, touching a player taking a shot mid air and not calling a foul? A legal?

[@JulioMaldonado-v1k]

For real bro I feel you.

[@komirules]

Touch or push or two different things.

[@JulioMaldonado-v1k]

You're not allowed to touch a basketball player when he's in the air attempting a shot so IDK what he's talking about. P.s the Lakers lead the league in free throws attempts against their opponents just saying 🥱💜💛💪✌️

[@gerald5175]

Yes, the Lakers get ridiculous special treatment. Only a casual Lakers fan would argue that.

[@JulioMaldonado-v1k]

@@gerald5175 how do they get special treatment please explain?... cuz I'm pretty sure they're 9th in the Western conference and only won four games since they won the in-season tournament I see no evidence of special treatment I'll be glad to hear your side tho.

[@gerald5175]

@@JulioMaldonado-v1k Lebron has always gotten special treatment. In this instance the egregious discrepancy and calls...and lack of calls for the Raptors, particularly in the 4th quarter deserved a calling out and received one. Most of the NBA is holding up Darko as a hero for calling it out. Most of the fans as well. The only people who aren't are Lakers fans because they feel entitled.

[@JulioMaldonado-v1k]

@@gerald5175 they're actually giving him praise because he stood up for his players not because he was right most of the players said they didn't even see the game lol... LeBron has been the face of the for NBA for more than 15 years n if you ask him you'll say where is the special treatment at? He's W4- L10 in the NBA finals n the Lakers been bad for LeBron's whole tenure with the Lakers except the 2019/2020 the bubble Year I'm still looking for that special treatment.💜💛💪✌️

[@gerald5175]

@@JulioMaldonado-v1k Everybody agrees that 23-2 in the fourth quarter is virtually unheard of. Most of them I heard speak also agreed they give certain players and teams little boosts here and there. I literally scoured the internet watching all the coverage yesterday. Where are you getting your takes?
