How is anybody here defending the refs in this game? Learn basketball. We're getting **** over.

No words man smfh

Zarba, the same ref that gave Tatum that phantom foul call and didn't call a flagrant on that scrub that knocked out Lowry.

Even thou we playing better but the key difference is the refs are still helping the Celtics. Celtics 10 turnovers is not gonna hurt them because the refs gave us no FTs in the 1st half

Something is definitely not right...

We aren't going for contact, and Boston has played disciplined on our perimeter shots. I really didn't see too many missed shooting fouls. It's not like we're constantly driving into the lane and getting hammered, we're mostly shooting from the perimeter, and a few driving layups on the break.

Boston gets a fast break score while they were out of bounds, Wannabee doesn't get a flagrant, Lowry is not "in the act" on a fast break . Meanwhile, Brown , Tatum , and Kemba are leaning into guys outside of the paint and getting rewarded with Ft's.

At some point the Raptors have to start shooting near their averages on 3-pointers. There have been a few rushed shots, but lots of open ones as well. Once they start hitting them, I'm confident they can go on a run and start putting some distance between them and the Celtics.

How are the Celtics getting this many freethrows while the Raptors get nothing. I just don't get it. It's not like one team is playing any more aggressive than the other.

We also scored like 6 pts in 6 minutes with Ibaka and Boucher because the passing sucked.


Ibaka was making so many mistakes aside from his scoring. Even though Gasol hasn’t looked great he is still a +2 and Ibaka a -4.

I totally disagree with ur assessment of Lowry. He is just missing shots IMO. Lowry and FVV been carrying the team so far.
yea but hes got to hit his shots he wouldnbe playing great otherwise... hes taken some dumb ones today tho. 2 pull up threes with 20+ sec left on the clock that he mostly bricks

I just got me some Osmows. We're 8-0, dating back to last year, when I get Osmows for the game.
Don't worry we're good.
Thank me later.

Not so much a defense of the refs, as it is an indictment of the Raptors inability to play through contact in the paint. Siakam needs to be that guy, but he's been fading, throwing up floaters etc. He's gone all the way to the rim once in this game?

I dislike these refs as much as the next guy, but you have to force them to make a call, they're not going to give us free shooting fouls for no reason.
