Incompetent/On the take/Fools/Just bad refs/Executing a League agenda/Other. Take your pick.

Watching the Raptors Nets game, I was leaning towards thinking the refs were doing whatever they could to slow the game down - TO HELP THE TIRED NETS. The raps notorious 'Ref Defenders' broadcast crew was even calling them out about bad calls.

By the way, I am in no way a Drake pumper. Don't even like his music. But I loved it when he took Jack's place and it was only him and Devlin talking. Jack really has to go. Also, BTW, tv crew, I'd rather watch in game action than a replay while the game is going on. Jack and the producer should both be kicked to the curb by MLSE.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if the refs have standing orders to keep games close. If so, the NBA should know better than to mess with the integrity of the game.

That no call on that last second three was just atrocious, by the way.
Nick Nurse recounting his first meeting with Kawhi:
“We could have gone forever. (Raptors management) kept knocking on the door and I was like, ‘A couple more minutes.’ Because we were really into it."

Whistles stay silent at the end of games (especially if the road team is on offense) cause the officials are afraid to make a decisive call when the game is on the line. That one was just more blatant and obvious than most of the others that have happened over the years.

NFL officiating is arguably worse than the NBA though so it's not a conspiracy, just incompetence and poor accountability for said incompetents.

It is clearly a foul on a floor. Of course, still a blown call, but no 3 FT's for sure.

I'd rather keep Jack than Matt, at least he has some personality..

Someone on the general board was claiming that all 3 refs had a bad angle and couldn't see the foul. And then there were those who claimed it wasn't a foul :lol:, worst blown call I've ever seen.

In other news, I'm beginning to think Cousins is highly overrated and won't be able to take a team anywhere. Though he's still 23, his habits are those of a loser. Takes too many shots, hogs the ball, doesn't know when to pass, and gives up easily. He would have to be paired up with 2 all-stars in order to go far in the playoffs I think.
