Dude, have you watched playoff basketball? If you thought the regular season referee calling was suspect (i.e the call against Lowry shooting a 3 in Sacramento) then wait until the playoffs start. If you pay attention to detail very closely, then you wouldn't question whether funny calls exist by the refs. It's so bad, someone with money on the game could end up threatening an official through a letter due to a bogus call making him lose. It definitely gets real.

If you go in with the mindset that the refs are out to get the Raptors (or any particular team in a game) then every call will look suspect to you.

I hear what you're saying, but sometimes it is inevitable. When something is right in front of your eyes, you just call it as you see it. Even though the series hasn't started yet, everyone knows Brooklyn is going to get the majority of calls. That's just the way it is. This doesn't mean Brooklyn will win the series though, the Raptors can still pull off an upset. I'm just curious how bad its going to be. I'm definitely staying positive and hoping for a good outcome but history does tend to repeat itself.

Game 1 of 2007 Nets-Raptors, Bosh got called for 2 very quick fouls and it took him out of the flow of the series. Will the same happen to Lowry this year?

If officiating is balanced, I think the Raps can take this in 6. But, if the Nets continue to get calls like this (0:20 mark) it will be tough. We won that game in spite of the refs. Expect alot of this.

If I was JKIDD id be laughing too at that obvious blocking foul.

Yup. Raps should forfeit. No chance.

Lowry is a much tougher player than Bosh

And most of this board was delusional about how refs were unfair to Raps. Just go watch that game again with clear mind, and knowing the outcome. Most of the time, this anti Raps refs talk is pure gibberish.

minus 1...

My bro said the same thing about Lowry possibly being in foul trouble. He plays so hard on defense, it makes it easy for the refs to call a foul on him. Lowry has to do a good job staying out of foul trouble, but not to the point where he gives up buckets.

I've been thinking about this as well. This series in all honesty favors the nets. Im hoping for the best but I don't expect the raps to win. The refs will definitely be a major factor and I can see Derozen being a bit of a deer in the headlights for the first few games.

As long as we can put together a really good showing, I will be fine with the outcome.

My opinion is get it to game 7 and game 7 at the acc, anything can happen.

I believe we both discussed this after that game. I really suggest you to find and check that game again from different perspective.
Kirilenko was damn murdered in that Raptors game, he especially got zero respect from the refs, incredibly tough play was allowed, and Raps Defense got away with a lot. But of course Raptors board will focus on calls what went against them, overlooking the opposite ones. impersonality!

This thread is a prime example of gibberish bad ref delusion, OP set to perceive it 2 days before game even started... Of course he will see bad reffering all over again, because he is set to.

We're #1 in fouls committed this season and we had (probably a record) 3 league apologies last season. We don't need to wait until it starts, but we'll see.

Nets are going to get the calls. Stern is still behind the scenes.

2nd actually. You know whos 3rd in most fouls committed? OKC. You know whos top 10 in the league in FTA? The Raptors. You know whos also top 10 in FTA? OKC. The Nets commit the 9th most fouls in the league. You guys just try twisting things towards your narrative.

The refs do call tick tacky calls against us but they have also done that against teams we've faced. I've seen with my own eyes, Raptors get lazy, start coasting and reach in to much. Ill reserve my judgement for the refs when I see the job they do. You guys need to chill until then, seriously.

i agree with you to an extent with regards to THAT particular brooklyn game... but to say that we're delusional in saying that we've gotten a bad whistle in many games i completely disagree with... the fact that we're willing to sweep officiating issues under the rug and accept the **** for what it is, is the main reason WHY the NBA still allows ref bias to go on... you can't honestly sit here and tell me that the game we played in sacramento when they got 50 free throw attempts, was an evenly called game...

The reffing is going to be terrible. Jack Armstrong basically called it too.

Bankai · Post #37 » by **Bankai** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 7:10 pm

I already expect Derozan, Jonas, and Lowry to all pick up 2 ticky tack fouls within 5 minutes. And we will be scratching our heads thinking "Only on the Raptors would that be a foul in the Playoffs..."

Get ready to want to break furniture and scream a ton.

The NBA is 100% rigged, so for us to win, we are going to have to be on with the offence.

Paul Pierce lat-game is going to get gimme calls from the NBA refs who love to pick up some mob money to influence the betting lines.

Very, very worried about this aspect of the series.

Not bad enough for us to give up.

That Sac game was the worst of the season. But I doubt reffing is biased or that the league tries to fix games against the Raptors... Read other board game threads, there are always people believing refs has a bias against them. Raptors should not be worried about it any more than any other team.
