Doesn't mean much anymore. We're use to the NBA apologizing to us now.

The NBA should stick Amir in an empty gym to shoot 2 free throws. If he gets them both, they'll do a 5-minute rematch with the Bulls.

If this ain't going to happen, the apology doesn't mean Jack.

What about Deng's push off? Seriously how many times does the league have to apologize to us after screwing us over.

Interesting fact: Raptors are 30th in the league amount of FTA given to their opponent. 13th in the league in getting to the line. Meaning you can make a theory that refs try to keep it close for us by gifting us a lot of FTA to make it not look suspicious.

I can't believe they admitted it once. Twice in a season? They have nothing to gain by admitting it. Crazy.

What's the point of watching a sport when the league clearly stacks the deck in other teams' favor? This is two American playoff teams now that the refs gave the games to. And we are the only team this has happened to this season. This league is pure garbage, and the refs are piles of biased dog **** ... It makes me sick.

Lets face it the league looks at this franchise like a joke I don't blame them to be honest.

upon reviewing the tape... did Derozan admit he screwed up putting his hand on Bennelli's hip 35 foot away from the rim with time running out on the shot clock?

Watching the raptors in tight endings is getting unbearable with both the officiating And coaching.

I think they were 7-5 with that win, so the NBA thought it would look nice if Charlotte could get as many wins as thrley could.

I loved the condescending posts by Harry Palmer and others who think they are so objective and superior to regular fans when they were so wrong. lmao. The post game thread was full of it. Don't be silly they say refs don't cheat. haha
