If I was JKIDD id be laughing too at that obvious blocking foul.

lol, is this a joke? Amir Johnson got away with a blatant shove on AK late in that game.

I would like to see the Raptors put up a good fight and gain some experience. It will help make them better in the future. But I think the Nets just have too many experienced veterans, that just happen to also be good players (some of them used to be great).

If healthy, the Nets can give just about anyone a run for their money. I am looking forward to a Nets and Heat series.

So I guess two wrongs make a right in this circumstance? Apples and Oranges though, the refs actively made the charge call on what clearly was a blocking foul. Amir's foul likely would have been called if it was noticed, clearly the refs had their eye on the drive.

I expect some dirty veteran plays from the Nets.

That's not even the point. You're crying about one sided officiating when I just proved you wrong. If anything, the D-Will charge call is a lot less questionable than this blatant Amir Johnson no call.

Raps fans seriously need to stop acting like it's a ref conspiracy against them, before the series has even started. It's pathetic as hell.

Either you didnt read what I wrote or you didnt understand it. The Lowry foul call was actively made, the Amir was call was likely missed.

Real hype right now. Looking at your "favorite teams" its been a rough year. Relax.

I hope your not a raptors fan talking about rough years. 48 wins is their all time high. Pretty sad

I hope y'all get Wiggins, so he can bolt to Toronto.

Well yeah, they had to make up for the Lowry call. But that phantom offensive foul changed the game. If Lowry gets fouled there like he's supposed to, the Raps are up and the pressure is on Brooklyn. Despite that missed call on Johnson, the Nets were still leading and it took a choke on their part for the Raptors for pull out the win.

therealbig3 · Post #319 » by **therealbig3** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 4:41 am

^You realize Lowry only got that steal because he got away with a foul on Pierce, right? So the charge basically negated that. If anything, Nets fans should feel like they got jobbed by the refs, because Amir Johnson got away with as obvious of a foul as possible. If that gets called, the Nets are never in a position to choke, because they're up 3 with the ball. Even if they screwed up the inbounds pass one time, they still have the lead with the ball. Unless you're expecting the Raps to get two miracle steals on inbounds plays, back to back.
