    4th Quarter FT count:
    Lakers: 23
    Raptors: 2

    Fuck Ben Taylor, that is all. Ruined a great game from Spicy BBQ

  2. I hate the fact that we even have to talk about a bad refs, rigged games when that was supposed to be an exciting and entertaining game down to the wire. We want to see the best players in the world do what they do best and that’s play basketball at a superior level. We don’t want to even notice the refs.

    Props to the boys for keeping this game competitive despite the poor ref.

  3. hyplusone

    Most of the refs are trying hard, I like a lot of the refs, they’re trying hard, they’re pretty fair, they communicate well. And then you have the other ones who just want to be dicks and it just kind of fuck the game up. Nobody’s coming to see that shit.

  4. AreYouAJedi

    ref masterclass right there. That Davis flop at the end was the cherry on top

  5. Raptorsthrowaway1

    I think the vast majority of the time people complain about refs its blind homerism. But that was egregious.

    Did Matt say 22-2 free throws in the 4th?! Fuck the lakers and AD’s flopping ass. Fuck Ben Taylor and his little lego haircut.

  6. InstanceMoney

    23 free throws to 2 in the 4th quarter is just wild.

  7. Dxwalsh12

    I generally don’t like to blame the game on refs. It feels cheap and like an excuse that doesn’t address other issues as to why a team could be losing. Tonight though, I’m confident in saying the refs fucked the Raptors over. Everyone was making clutch shots late in the 4th, and the calls just destroy the Raptors pace and progress. That shit was embarassing.

  8. CanadianGinger551

    Disgusting game. That ain’t basketball

  9. FinalMalus

    We won that game—I don’t give a fuck what the scoreboard says.

  10. Beermen69

    Can’t win the game if the Lakers are on power play the whole game

  11. Digi_awesome

    I can’t even be mad at LA, they know what they’re doing and they take advantage of it. Can’t be mad at that, what I can be mad at is that it’s got to that point

  12. Afrorobotics

    Ben Taylor legacy game, really came up in the clutch for the Lakers

  13. FallenLemur

    Someone need to go on a Fred Vanvleet postgame presser after that BS

    What a ridiculously reffed 4th quarter, this game needs to be investigated.

  14. lonny__breaux

    Look obviously annoyed we didn’t win this but we look like a real basketball team now.

    If we had Yak I can’t imagine how we’d lose this.

    Anyways it’s good to enjoy watching us again

  15. quietbucket

    The refs completely robbed y’all out of a win

  16. If I give my honest opinion about Ben Taylor……federal agents will show up at my house.

  17. These boys showed fight tonight.

    Very encouraging, keep building!

    Unfortunate calls but oh well

  18. AD having more FT’s than our entire team combined should tell you all you need to know

  19. cellar_door5234

    Don’t even care that the raps lost. Refs full on robbed us of a sick back and forth game with Scottie ready to go off in the fourth. Just incompetent. HORIZONTAL ARM MOVEMENT ?? LOL

    Also that undercut on Pascal was BS

  20. urboijesuschrist

    Not a raptors fan but I did take their moneyline, just dropping by to say fuck the refs. Toronto did literally everything as well as they could the NBA just flat out rigged this shit.

    Had the Lakers lost this they would’ve fallen out of the play in standings, NBA can’t have their cashcow down there.

  21. Raptors balled the fuck out in the 4th and all the lakers did was shoot free throws and get bailed out on defence by offensive fouls man fuck those guys and their spoon fed win

  22. Raps had 70 pts in the paint to Lakers 50

    AD had more free throws than the raps combined. You can’t tell me we didn’t get fouled on more of those.

  23. jjkiller26

    Man fuck the calls in the 4th. Maybe the raps lose either way tonight, but the players on the court decide that, dont decide it with garbage calls only on one end of the court

  24. Rj looked great, IQ was great as well and got scammed out of the game, and Sct was a beast in the 4th.

    The refs weren’t even hiding it in the end, what was that flagrant bro?

  25. macandcheese_19

    Our guys played so hard but ben taylor played harder

  26. Snowy_Thighs

    As a Ben Taylor fan that was an amazing game, he was able to put his finger prints all over the game with the help of his team. Quiet (with steady whistles) in the first 3 quarters, but my guy really took off in the 4th and stole the show. Great game Ben.

  27. pdappadon

    I demand an investigation immediately. That’s the worse officiating I’ve seen all year. Fuck Ben Taylor & them other two no name refs

  28. pocemon11

    I’ll take a fine, I don’t care. I thought Ben Taylor was fucking terrible tonight. I thought that on most nights, out of the three, there’s one or two that just fuck the game up, you know

  29. absolutkaos

    get it all out tonight folks! we’re gonna relax the rules a bit for frustration and rant posts.

    that was some all time bullshit.

  30. Pineapple_Chicken

    The sheer amount of non biased fan bases in the /r/nba thread calling out the refs gives me some relief.

    3-pt shooting is back on the menu with these boys!! Hopefully they channel their anger over this loss against Kawhi and their HOF squad tomorrow.

  31. GordonGJones

    Darko losing his shit in post game!! love this guy!

  32. whatareyouairing

    DARKO IS HEATED!

    Edit: yeah he’s probably getting a fine.

  33. Leaf_CrAzY

    Don’t want to hear anymore Darko slander after that press conference meltdown. Love it.
