Raptors HC Darko Rajaković HEATED After Loss vs. Lakers

Shot with 23 free throws in that fourth quarter what you thank you Doug thank you Doug that’s that’s that’s outrageous what happened tonight this is completely BS this is shame shame for the referees shame for the league to allow this 23 free throws for them and we get two free

Throws in in a fourth quarter like how to play the game I all I understand uh respect for all stars and all that but we have star players on our team as well how’s possible that Scotty Barnes who is Allstar caliber player in this league he

Goes every single time to the rim with force and trying to get get to to the rim without flopping and and not trying to get foul calls he gets two uh three throws for a whole game how is that possible how you going to explain it

That that to me they had to win tonight if that’s if that’s the case just let us no so we don’t show up for the game just give them a win but that that was not fair tonight and this is not happening first time for us Scotty Barnes is going

To be all star he’s going to be the face of this league and what what’s happening over here during whole season I’ve been holding it back it’s a complete crap do you feel like you’re getting any explanations at all that offensive foul did you did you see like get any

Explanations no no there is no explanation they just they just come up there they review what and they see what they want to see they don’t want to hear us what we got to say they don’t want to hear the players they they they don’t just want to protect us over the game

They got 36 free throws 23 free throws in in the fourth quarter what are we talking about what are we talking about how are we going to supposed to play this a a one off do you feel this has been happening to your team a lot throughout the season it’s happening a

Lot but I’m telling our guys be professional keep fighting keep going for the next one but until when for how long else thank you thank you

    Just cause it's 2024, doesn't mean we can't have the mob running the league. I've seen more of it, the longer we get into legal spots gambling. Sucks, but this is always how it's ended up.

    How could you want to Fine a COACH for Speaking The Truth for what he is seeing taking place in front of his eyes …just like the World wants to Condem KATT WILLIAMS for coming out and Speaking The Truth up to now people still don't want to BELIEVE…But the Truth is the Truth and GOD IS REAL….

    I'm glad he said this. I didn't watch the game, but I've seen so many others where the officiating was blatantly lopsided, and nobody says anything. If this game was that way, he had every right to speak up.

    I remember Stan Van Gundy getting fined about 7 or 8 years ago over a similar rant. "Oh we didn't see it. Well what the hell do they have you OUT there for?" Lol just straight real with it.

    Think about this though: Coaches and players get fined for criticizing the referees. But the refs never get fined for making bad call after bad call, or even blatantly SCREWING a certain team or player in a game. Think about why that is.

    Wow! Finally a man who spilled the beans with no restraint. The truth is right there for anyone to see. This LeBron-Lakers stuff is bogus.

    Between this game and the whole lions debacle, I'm really starting ro question the integrity of professional sports.

    This is how the Lakers get to 2023 WCF and can't win a game, they don't earn their wins.

  26. @actormertsirin

    It's not the refs fault, they are just pawns. It's the NBA who is doing it and it happens every night. 100% rigged tonight was just too blatant. Great job on coach to call them out!

    The Lakers are notorious FLOPERS! LeBron, AD and especially Reeves. Reeves is rediculous and he gets away with it night after night after night! The league needs to investigate this guy.

    Lebron haters: refs help lakers win..
    Even if toronto players did'nt even showed protest if they're fouled or not.
    This coach is one of the lebron haters and just very frustrated to win.

  39. @altimangrason8069

    I was livid after this game tjis has been goin on for year's its just bullshit if u blew on those guys it would have been a foul its really getting played we need better refs get rid of these old bums

    This is what happens when you have a Balkanian coach. Just have a look at some press conferences from Europan games by Željko Obradović and other legendary coaches. No BS, straight to the point, in your face type od speech. Unfortunately in NBA you get sanctioned for things like this so Darko you'll have to come back to Europe or learn to be more "politically correct". However I salute you for your honesty and i think you've earned respect from many fans of this beautiful game.
