Move your feet. Stop using your hands. It's as simple as that

Really hope Lowry keeps it up. Was feeling bad for the guy last game.

It's all refereeing. Look at the discrepancy in fouls. 15-8, with an Finals MVP, All Star, and perennial all NBA defender getting hit with two very questionable calls.

entitlement much? Also, lol at the all nba defender thing - he hasn't been a good defender in years. Kawhi has been on reputation since he got DPOY.


Entitled to what? Most all stars benefit from a preferential whistle. What's wrong with you people? You just troll game threads looking to pick arguments.

And "hasn't been a good defender in years"? He didn't play last year. He was excellent the year before the injury. I like how he has looked this year, given he didn't play for a full year.

Use your brain before reflexively snapping on people. There's no "entitlement" at play here. It's an objective fact. Most players of Kawhi's abilities get favourable treatment.

Mine is based on facts and numbers.


Where's the insinuation that being Canadian is a factor? The refs could just be having a bad game in which the Magic are the beneficiary.

Stop it, I read the Raptors forum more than any other outside of the Magic. I know you guys have a conspiracy theory about not getting calls because you guys are North of the border. Which is false btw. I still remember the game you guys got 41-9 ft's and thought you should've had more. :lol:


41-9 and complaining about the refs? Unbelievable a fan base can be that extreme. That’s absurd

Either than the stretch with Danny Green picking up two invisible fouls. I don't think the refs have been bad.

Its funny when the TNT crew mentions multiple calls against the raptors as bad and you guys still talking like the people complaining are being absurd. :)

You mean genuises like Shaq and Barkley? They can't be awesome, smart, trustworthy commentators when it fits your agenda and then idiots when it doesn't.

Did they make hand checking legal in that 1st quarter? They finally started calling the hugging and hand checking in the 2nd and the crowd lost it.

15 fouls against the raptors 8 against the magic. Come again? Ya'll complain about us whining but wanna gloss over the fact that the raptors might just be getting hosed?

You guys reach a lot. Isn't that part of what makes your defense great? Also, Steve Clifford has told the Magic to never foul, even if that means you allow a layup. That's a part of his coaching philosophy.

So now, my question to you is, do you think you get screwed cause you're teams in Canada?

So you're retort is your coach tells your team not to reach thats why there's a foul disparity, so by that logic you're saying nurse tells the raps to reach. Interesting. Do give more insight on how fouls are based on reaching. And as for your question, i won't fall for your bait. Some should tweet the raptors coaching staff and tell their players to never foul. Wow what a way to fix that discrepancy.

I KNOW for 1000% and bet my house that if we werent from Canada, the fouls would be 14-7 in favor of raptors. This is unwatchable. I give up on NBA until they gain respect for Canada

Our fan base is full of very emotional people who are fickle about every little thing and often miss the big picture. I hate it, but hey it’s my team so I’ll deal with it

Fine with me. You guys should definitely enjoy your run to the Finals! Also, I truly believe that the Raptors can and will beat anybody.

It was back when the Magic still had Dipo and it was both maddening and hilarious. Especially since they won that game. Lol

Are you being purposefully dense to win an argument? The Magic play a don't foul at any cost defense. The Raptors would obviously prefer not to foul, but they'll gamble and reach and play physical even if it means picking up some fouls. Pretty simple really.
