[Clip Request] Barnes gets fouled on a dunk that goes uncalled, as the Lakers shoot 21 FTs to the Raptors 2 in the 4th Qtr



Very interesting reffing this last quarter. Unrelated, but Ben Taylor is the referee for this game, who was notably called out by the raptors last season for refereeing poorly.

Edit: raps lose by 1, unfortunate missed call

    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 destroyed the Raptors pace and progress. That shit was embarassing.

  2. Is he also reffing the clippers vs raptors game tomorrow? Asking for a friend.

    It’s always the fucking Lakers

    Remember last season when down the stretch and in the playoffs they had like +20 FT every other game?

    Even in the Denver series Jokic had 5 fouls for random stuff in game 3

    I really hate being salty and getting pissed at refs but man, that was a really bad job by the crew

    Probably the worst officiating I’ve ever seen. AD should’ve been called for a flop with how he fell over with next to no contact. And then they wave off the Scottie 3 as well.

    10 of those were end of game free throws

    edit: 8 were taken in the last 24 seconds off intentional fouls

  7. second game in a row the lakers have won a tight one due to not even subtle officiating help

    Ben Taylor must have some traumatic memory involving Canada/Canadians. He should be probably be suspended from officiating Raptors games if the league cared about integrity.

    Sorry the footage has been confiscated by the NBA.

    Some crazy reffing, sneeze on a laker and they shoot two, wave off every shot we make for some bullshit

    We’re at the keep the lakers relevant stage of the season

    normally blaming the refs is lame but in a 1 point game those free throws actually determine the outcome

    Tim Donaghy. Stars players get more calls. Playoff ratings. Betting lines. It’s actually wild how blatantly they do it.

    Sooo…Bron gonna call the refs out on this too, right?

    Right?
