Yeah JV deserved the tech. There was definite trash talking going on between the two, but JV showed him up.

That being said, Brothers has a long history of ****ing us over.


Tech was deserved... even JV knew it

Other teams complain about him too. He's probably up there as one of the worse right next to Ed Malloy and Scott Foster.

Yeah Tony Brothers is just a brutal referee in general. Scott Foster too.


So the question is, if he's recognized as being a crap ref and the NBA grades refs and rewards the best ones with playoff games, why does Tony "Hitman" Brothers go deep in the playoffs every year?


thats if you believe there is a system :lol:

I don't think he was yelling at a ref, at least not to get the T. Looked like he was taunting Montrezl, or at least trying to show him up. Jobaka! had 41/14 in 42 minutes, and in the first half JV couldn't miss. I think JV had a tech to spend. He earned the T.

I didn't really see any bad calls by Brothers in this game. Unless the Raps were just too good and even with the refs' help, the Clips just couldn't catch up. If that's the case, we need to win convincingly every game. Close games get us all the time.

I just think he's not great at his job. I've seen similar comments about Brothers on other team forums.

Tony Brothers just a notoriously bad ref in general, it's nothing personal against the Raptors. Him, Ken Mauer, Marc Davis and Courtney Kirkland are some of the worst in the league, surprised Kirkland even still has a job.

I think he might just be a bad ref, and perhaps the Raptors aren’t the only team who thinks he hates their team.

You missed Scott Foster, he was the rep for being the absolute worst.

Mauer actually gets extremely high grades from the players but they all hate Marc Davis.

I think he wanted to get sex-change operation performed in Canada, but got refuted cause he is mentality unstable. That got him completely messed up. He tries to gather enough money by betting on the games, but he always fails. The guy is nothing but a failure.

Because I've been calling him Fat Tony for years?

Hates Customs Lineups?

Mauer is good, he just gives the Raptors a bad whistle a lot of the times. Foster is an absolute dick, yea no one likes Marc Davis at all.
