NBA admits refs screwed up in Raps-Bulls game

[visionquest]

We should get 1 more ping-pong ball per blown call admitted by NBA.

OKC did get another ping pong ball.

Either way, the Raptors shouldn't care. It's not like they're going anywhere anyways. The Bulls need the win much more, so they can be in a better position when Rose returns.

This foreshadows 1st overall pick all over it

If only that were true.

I would be perfectly fine drafting Shabazz....or Noel this year.

It would be much better than I expected from a team who's talent usually has them and should keep them locked in the 7th -12th position in the draft.

Meh I'd still rather get it in 2014 and get a REAL franchise player.

Of course....we'd all prefer that.

But in reality again we would most likely end up drafting 7-12th.

The previous poster said us getting #1 overall.

So if ended up with the #1 pick this year that would just be gravy because I certainly don't expect our GM to be able to spot hidden talent at 7th pick AT BEST by next year I'm thinking we would more likely be 9th and above in the draft. Personally I prefer the odds of one of Shabazz or Noel becoming a more impactful player than Colangelo trying to get lucky and fish out comparable talent at 9th or so in next year's draft.

Trust me I'm not a fan of winning this draft because this does feel very much like 06' all over again good talent but great talent in the very next one. Just I would pray that should this happen that we draft an "Aldridge, Rondo or Roy" type of talent like I believe is in this draft and not another Bargnani.

Yes the refs blew the game and overall the calls in general have gone against the RAPTORS but our coach has lost more games than the refs.

and it should take a year to craft these ping pong balls

What made last night worse is Nick Young fist pumping because he made his first defensive play of his career.

[cer0_tolerance]

im telling you all idk what the nba is hiring these days............................ as much as i love my raptors they will never contend in the playoffs with that kind of defence. Every close games and overtime games shouldn't b happening at all you gatta finish the game strong or go home.

[SCF99]

No we should get two ping pong balls because of the missed push on Anderson at the end of regulation.

[HangTime]

Also can't belive the refs didn't call out-of-bounds on Deng when his hand touched the endline, and he was first 1 to touch the ball.

I really don't have confidence in him to really make a good choice with the first pick either, I'd rather give our pick away to OKC this year and see BC sent packing then get us a real GM who is willing to tank for 2014.

Which seems more and more likely as the season presses on and this team continues to crash and burn. With the way things have been going it seems pretty unlikely that BC will be extended so hitting the 7-10th range next year I feel is pretty unlikely as well.

[Indeed]

$100 says we miss the playoffs by one games.

Fixed.
And the 8th seed is the Bulls.

Also can't belive the refs didn't call out-of-bounds on Deng when his hand touched the endline, and he was first 1 to touch the ball.

I think I know which one were you talking about, is that the one where Nate Robinson dove for the ball and had it but his whole hand was planted on the out of bounds line, and they didnt call anything?

did he touch the ball WHILE his hand was on the endline? if not, the rule you're referring to is an NFL rule, not NBA

Get the hell out of here.....
