I can only recognized Joey. Anyway I bet the other two are also Americans.

So what? Tim Lieweke is American. He's out to get us!

It was incompetence, not patriotism. C'mon man.

I didn't mind the officials that much. Our inability to get 50/50 rebounds and really selfish offense by our guards was the downfall. I will say this however, Lowry was fouled on that last play. Pierce fouled him before and after the follow through and I will always contend that.

50/50 calls all game were one sided, that may be the worst of it.

I am not one to bitch about the refs, but he stood out to me this afternoon.

he has a history too, did you know that?

Nope, i did not.

But it doesn't surprise me :-?

Derrick Stafford is laughing at this right now

If the NBA establishment was so biasedly patriotic Steve Nash wouldn't have won MVP twice over the likes of Shaq and Kobe.

Also I know MVP is voted upon by the media, but american media tends to be more patriotic in general.

Derrick Stafford was the worst, worse than Tim Donaghy

Btw, didn't it look like Pierce fouled Lowry on the arm at the end of the game?? That should have been a foul called.

Would be nice if someone got a replay of the final play.

NBA League directed bias due to TV ratings, I can buy that.
Ref's managing the game to keep the point spread close, I can buy that.
Pure incompetent reffing, I can buy that.
Biased reffing due to our location, not ready to go there. There are much more obvious fish to fry.

PenguinBoxer · Post #891 » by **PenguinBoxer** » Sun May 4, 2014 8:07 pm

the reffing was not even that bad. the raptors did not even come to play until it was to late and that is a fact. they should have FORCED the refs to make calls. Instead they chucked up bad jumpers

ballercb4 · Post #892 » by **ballercb4** » Sun May 4, 2014 8:07 pm

For a team that thinks they are so great they really needed the refs to win!!!! The Raptors should not hang their heads they made it a 1 point game it was 5 vs 6 for us without the refs we win this series...even at the end when Ross threw the ball off Paul Pierce the ref the didn't want to give us the call which is sad

I have no problem with officiating. BUT LAST non call on KL is ultimate garbage. Now I understand that they rarely call that but why deprive a team of their fair chance. I am sure someone will post the GIF and that should be evident to everyone. And than interview of Truth saying that it was a clean block !?!

Can someone explain to me that foul on Deron that they gave to KG? Clearly it was on Deron and obvious to anyone watching the game and he would've fouled out.

Wo1verine · Post #895 » by **Wo1verine** » Sun May 4, 2014 8:08 pm

One of the plays that was **** obvious was the call non call on Williams late in the game with a couple minutes to go.

Stafford was standing feet away from the play and instead handing out the foul on the correct player in Deron Williams he choose to slap Garnett with it when KG didn't touch Lowry to avoid giving Williams his 6th.

Someone Needs to find a gif of this play.

The NBA desperately needs a coaches challenge. Maybe two. That would at least give it credibility.

D-Will should of been out of the game, nevertheless he goes to the line the following play.

This is a huge point, that was crooked

You guy cry so much about officials. That technical they called on Garnett wasn't even a technical, Lowry ran into Garnett and they just automatically called a tech on him.

It was tons of fouls they were calling on the Nets that weren't fouls.

Lowry just runs into people to get calls, LMFAO! That's half of Toronto's offense is running into people and going to the free throw line. If not for the free throw line the Nets woulda won by 10.

And Pierce got called for 5 fouls tons of Nets had 4 and 5 fouls.

And the Raptors shot more free throws then the Nets! Toronto just lost, stop complaining about the freakin refs... :crazy:

KobeKenobi · Post #900 » by **KobeKenobi** » Sun May 4, 2014 8:12 pm

I thought refs gave Toronto more calls. Lowry in particular go too many calls just because he's smaller and throws himself into the defender. Overall good series, but I am glad it's going to be the Nets against Miami.
