This will be a long night because I really feel these complaints are going to somewhat affect the refs

They should retweet it to Jason Kidd and JJ then because they could use the memo.

Anyone else think the refs will wait until the final two minutes to screw over the nets? I'm feeling some karma coming their way tonight, **** Brooklyn!

Clear sign of desperation on the part of the nets. Likely orchestrated by Kidd. They want every advantage they can get going into this game... They scurrred!!!!!

I too am worried about how this game gets called.

I want to win this game so bad I can't even describe it. Send these fools packing in 6...giant middle finger to all the haters.

This is terrible news.

GUARANTEED the refs are going to listen Kidd & JJ's whining and penalize DeRozan and Val specifically.

Zach Lowe better write an excerpt in Grandland telling the Nets to get over it, otherwise he's just a major douche

The nets have set it up that the refs will be jobbing the raps. Book it. If the refs don't give the nets the calls they will look like they are favouring the raps so tonight there will be raps in foul trouble early and don't expect to see the same charging calls tonight.

Seriously, **** this Nets team. First they "tank" to get the us, now they can't handle the pressure so they need some piddly excuse to make it look like they didn't deserve to be in the position they're in. That's some mad disrespect to the Raptors. I really hope the Raps take it to them hard tonight. I want the Raps to show them there's no need to flop when the contact is real. Hard fouls go both ways.

Never thought I would hear them complaining about a lack of calls.

If he was talking in general terms about never getting calls in his career he would be correct. But it has more to do with his style of play than the refs no blowing the whistle for him. JJ avoids any kind of contact like the plague so of course if he avoids contact (let alone attempt to initiate some to force the refs to blow the whistle), he'll get less calls.

His career FTr and FTA/36 are some of the lowest among all volume scorers this past decade.

Edit:

JJ 2014 reg season: FTr of 19.2%
JJ 2014 playoffs: FTr of 27.4%

His FTA/FGA have increased in this series compared to the regular season by 70%!

Last season reg and against Bulls:

JJ 2013 reg season: FTr of 15.3%
JJ 2013 playoffs: Ftr of 8.7%

In fact, this Raps series is his playoff career 2nd highest for FTr and 3rd highest for straight up FTA/g

What's he complaining about?

Well if they get all the calls tonight we will all bitch about it everywhere so we get the benefit in game 7 . They really have been calling it pretty good so far and I didn't really expect that . Maybe that is why they are complaining .

Maybe you don't get calls because you avoid contact and dance around your defender? It's an excellent offensive weapon and makes him hard to guard but don't expect to get calls like a player who slashes and puts his body on the line.
