That's BS. Apologies don't result in W's or a playoff spot. As far as I see it these are the type off things we have to come to expect from the same BS league in the same BS games thanks to refs.

We need compensation for the 2 late game blown calls that possibly cost us 2 games. We could have 16 wins right now if it werent for the refs. Possibly more considering all the questionable calls. The league doesnt want us in the playoffs.

I know that's 2 official game changing calls but I actually think the refs have actually impacted the Raptors win-loss by as many as 5 games this year. Record is 14-25 currently but should be as good as 19-20. Sadly we live in an unjust and imperfect world. Oh well.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Amir would've made only 1/2 free throws anyways.

Enough of this.

Is it WWE or NBA.

Is it a contrived show with actors and a set plotline?

I still stand by what I said... Amir was lucky to get a foul called period, as soon as he received the pass he started falling into Noah, clearly looking for a foul call instead of trying to shoot it.

The NBA should've said they screwed up with the Deng shove, that was way more blatant.

The Raptors are basically the Tyson Kidd of the NBA. Works hard every night, puts in good effort, and sometimes the upper management takes notice throws a bone or two to create small excitement, only to plummet the team back into a treadmill lottery team.

Because OKC needs to stregthen it's team after trading Harden.


yep. the league wants to make sure okc can knock off the heat at least once in the next few years and this will be their only lotto pick for a long time. better make it a good one...

One more screw up and we are given another apology and given a coupon for one free official NBA cap for any team at the NBA store in NY.

That's TWO wins they've OFFICIALLY taken away from us, not even counting all the other games were the refs jobbed us.

16-23 wouldn't be too shabby.

I'm fine with refs making a mistake. The league needs to explain the collection of horrible calls against the Raptors to finish the game.

Has the NBA apologized to any other teams this year for ruining a last second call?

Oh okay.....The acknowledgement doesn't mean **** especially if it just continues again and again. Mean while stern feels exercising his power is charging players for flopping? what a clown.

Apologies are definitely first steps...but, they need to start reimbursing us with picks.

The NBA is the Coach, but I wish the Raptors were more like Happy Gilmore, and not Billy Madison.
