I didn't understand it when I was new fan but it happened back then. They can not go into Mexico and pull this nonsense out as officiating. International inspirations the NBA has. My only thought is more refs? Camera refs? If they are not doing this on purpose it could be that a bad system won't change or progress. Worst of the two I would say.
As a raptors fan this is nothing new this is exactly the reason why my commonsense will not allow me to watch raptors games against Luca, Joker, because the NBA has an agenda
Only think AD can do better then jokic is play defense. They score about the same they rebound bout the same and jokic is a way better passer. In my opinion jokic is 2nd best big man in the league only behind Giannis. Y'all YouTubers be getting so hot when y'all team loses. The raptors been losing all year they gonna get eliminated in the play in anyway. Y'all get so hot about this news flash y'all opinions don't matter do u don't have to get so passionate these games
Ad misses 50 games a year and u want me to day he better then Jokic. I plead the fifth. No one cares about the raptors so u don't have to go on this rant. No one is expecting anything for the raptors. And get that hate out your heard for jokic
Lmao the joker hate is insane. If Lebron was averaging a triple double and the main reason the lakers was winning you would be dick riding him to the fullest🤷🏽♂️ the Lakers are a bad team but the media still pushes a narrative and covers them like their the best team in the NBA.
Something smells and it’s coming from within the NBA. The raptors are coming so the narrative is to slow them down the refs are use as brakes in the 4. Quarter especially close to the 2 min mark. Who ever is in the way the refs will hit the brakes on you. Clearly vs the Nuggets the Raps were the better team and were clearly rob. You always said it bro it the Raps vs Other Teams + Refs = StopThemAtAllCost and that’s the narrative 🔥Ym🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥🔥 Rise
Scott Foster loves having a hand in how games turn out – especially important games that will affect the outcome of the season. He just wants to have a hand in the outcome so he can look back and know that he made an impact and it's pathetic. Refs should have to talk to the media after games like coaches and players do because when they pull this kind of garbage they have to speak up and give reasons rather than just skulk away.
Anyone who wouldn't take Jokic over anyone in the league doesn't understand basketball, every GM in the league would sell their soul to get him. Don't let your hurt fan feelings cloud your logic.
Been saying, everyone take look at what the spread was last night. Denver favoured by 6.5. Now take a look at what the score was with a minute left, and the final score. Someone please try to explain how this wasn't fixed lol
Chris, though I appreciate your outrage re. late game foul calls against Raptors and ejection of Barnes, I think you should focus on how BETTING IS RUINING SPORTS. During free throw attempts in the first quarter, Denver broadcasters advertised how viewers could bet on the game, that Denver was predicted to win and the spread would cover a 5 point margin. (Final score Nuggets 118-Raps 113). Coincidence? An NBA ref was implicated in fixing games – has the NBA done enough to protect the integrity of the game now that betting on live games is so persuasive. With billions of dollars to be made, online betting is negatively impacting sports. The very least the NBA could do is ban betting ads during the game – the betting line should be closed before games even start. But gambling revenue generates profits for the league – Silver would find it hard to let this go esp. as NBA expands into Vegas. But after last nites abysmal attempt @ officiating down the stretch, money becomes the carrot to the basketball cart. For shame! Betting just imbibes the wrong type of revenue generation for the NBA and instills corruption. At least have a 2-year moratorium on betting in the NBA, so we can restore the integrity of the game, so that players, fans, and refs can't throw the game! With players sporting guns and refs caught cheating, the NBA has a responsibility to clean up it's act before fans lose faith in the sport itself.
Game-fixing in the NBA is fact, Chris! The records shows disgraced NBA referee Tim Donaghy placed 134 calls to referee Scott Foster (last nites official) — more than the 126 calls Donaghy made to his bookie — between October 2006 and April 2007, the period during which he has confessed to either betting on games or passing on game information to gamblers. The majority of the phone calls lasted no more than two minutes and occurred prior to and after games Donaghy officiated and on which he admits wagering. With the exception of 150 calls Donaghy placed to Thomas Martino, to whom he says he provided “picks” to win games and who was the middleman between the disgraced referee and a bookie named James Battista, the ex-ref phoned no one more than he called Foster. During this period, the most calls Donaghy made to any other referee were 13.

Check this 2022 podcast, Chris. Tim Donaghy explains how he and fellow officials fixed games, especially in play-offs. Bonzi Wells & Rasheed Wallace ask: "Tim (Donaghy) we was just talking about…that game 7…we always talk about our game seven series in 2000 when we [Portland Trail Blazers] were at the Lakers, we were up, uh, 13, going into the fourth quarter and just how things changed… that referee and crew… was Steve Jaby, Dick Bavetta and Hugh Evans and as we look back you know, we read your book, and you called some of these referees company men. Were those 3 guys considered company men that you knew would possibly sticking it to us at any given time during that game to make sure that some of the bigger market teams will win like the Los Angles Lakers or the bigger stars would win? "Absolutely," responds Donaghy, "Dick Pavetta, who I refereed countless games with, him…. He flat out told me he was the NBA's go-to-guy – he was put on Game 6's to make sure they went to Game 7's and unfortunately… you guys were put at the pivotal end of that or he would say, you know, – I'm no fool, I remember when David Stern said on national TV, the best match-up in the NBA finals was the Lakers versus the Lakers, so you think that global attention is going to be on the Portland Trail Blazers or the Los Angeles Lakers?" Co. Men like Scott Foster (who Donaghy worked with) continue to target young players like Barnes from soft markets so Denver maintains a 30-4 home record, covers the 5-pt. spread on the game for 1st place Nuggets. Nothing has changed! The betting industry has corrupted the NBA so that Scotti Barnes (like Wallace) are getting their first sickening taste of NBA's corrupt officiating. Shameful! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yk0dZ-ZsuM0&ab_channel=BallislifePodcastNetwork

Real talk bro
Fast
Love the channel but you're underestimating Jokic. I'd take him over Giannis or KD for sure
Anyone who wouldn't take Jokic over anyone in the league doesn't understand basketball, every GM in the league would sell their soul to get him. Don't let your hurt fan feelings cloud your logic.
