2 appologies should equal 2 redos.

Last second of OT vs chicago, and last few seconds in charlotte.

What are the odds they do it, seriously, twice in the same season. We aren't even at the half way point.

Two in the same season! Has there been any other retroactive "apology" for any other team/game? I haven't heard anything other than our two this year.

This is awesome. Not that it will help us with those criminals going forward.

Admission != Apology

I guess the distinction doesn't really matter in the end but it does feel like added insult to the injury.

NBA making sure that the Raptors dont make the playoffs and OKC gets a good pick in the top 10. Two games those refs missed obvious calls. This league is complete dog ****

Whats the point of watching close games? No matter what happens other teams will always get the win when we have the last shot to win / tie. No fouls will be called in the last seconds no matter what we do. Officiating in this league is an utter disgrace.

Was it this?
The 2nd time they did this?
It's not going to change anything and this cycle of a bias against the Raptors is going to continue when the sky is cleared.
NBA should really just replace all of the NBA officials with FIBAs, and they suddenly no star-calls and massive improvements to the product.

Right?


I'm okay with it if they give us Wiggins in 2014. 8-)

An apology won't change the outcome of the game we lost NBA, a big F U to the crooked refs

A variation of this has to happen if we want to set them straight.

Who cares. They've done this before and it never helps us.

Heat and Hawk got a redo because of a score keeper erorr, we should atleast get 1 for a referees mistake.

Why do they have to pick the one year that the Raptors aren't tanking to screw them over?

Where were these plays last year when we wanted to lose on purpose?

Second time already they admitted fault involving us.

team edward wrote:$100 says we miss the playoffs by two games.


Oh man if that happened, we could actually make a case that the NBA didn't want us in the playoffs :lol:

I like this; I'm going through the NBA apologies list from the NBA thus far this season.

Toronto - 2
Rest of the league - 0.

Hey, we're the cream of the crop once it comes down to getting ****ed over and then having a "oops wrong call lol" from the NBA

So how many official duck ups will it take to finally get something back? Can't cry sorry all the time as it means ****. Should replay point next time teams meet.
