In a normal year, I'd be outraged.

Thank you nba, please remember this when you're rigging the draft lottery

take that loss and go back to Canada!

Refs coming in clutch for us this season.

This is embarrassing for Tatum. No harm done for us!

There's more:

The NBA's L2M report says:

-Jakob Poeltl should have been called for 3 seconds with 26.5 seconds to play
-Jayson Tatum fouled Poeltl on the same possession
-Davion Mitchell fouled Jaylen Brown
-Jayson Tatum traveled before the game-winning shot

All ended up even, I guess

Refs won't call that for any star player in the league...They let alot go in crunch time....Davion body checked Brown to the floor with no call by the refs as well....In them kind of moments they just let stuff go more than not....Idk why the refs ref it that way but its been like that since the dawn of time....Sort of like a refs unspoken rule

Nothing stopping the tank right now. You couldn't script this better. Still about 10 days or so until Scottie returns, keep banking those losses.

It was a good game. We were playing them well with an injury riddled roster. They won, it helps us get a better draft pick, you couldn't script this any better.

Take the losses with a smile. They will all count in the end. We' re not making the playoffs. That means there's no great imperative to maximize our record. No one on our team is going to the all-star game. It's about development and not doing too much to ruin a great opportunity to add some cheap top level talent to our roster. It's a great time to practice being indifferent with the result of each and every game. Tune in, see if the product is watchable and tune out if it isn't.

We can laugh at this because they didn't call the travel on Kawhi.

Perhaps it's a good idea to keep an extra timeout to challenge the last play?

If we win we win, if we lose we still win

great season

Embarrassing for the NBA.

That's why I tell my youth team that the NBA can sometimes be more for casual entertainment rather than regulated sport. Like the WWE.

If you want to truly learn the game, watch College ball.

just like Michael Jordan's push off on Bryon Russell

Meh

This is embarrassing for the NBA because the Raptors and hardcore fans couldn't simply give a flying f*** as long as they rigged the draft next season.

A win for ochai
