Yes, the Toronto Raptors lost in the utmost heartbreaking way today, and Raptor nation will feel the sting for quite some time. The officiating has been an excuse throughout the series. Just how valid is it? I would say it has some legitimacy. The Brooklyn Vets Nets definitely received a lot of ‘benefit of the doubt’ calls while youngsters such as Jonas Valanciunas were on the other side of the spectrum. Check out the clip below of all of JV’s series ‘fouls’.
Was this the sole reason the Raps lost the series? No, but if the calls went 50-50 I would say the outcome might have been different.

3:02 pretty much sums up the refereeing this series.
Didn’t expect my video to get this much playback but i’m glad it is, not even for the sake of the raptors but for the sake of the NBA as a whole. Far too many fan’s are fine with the bad calls the refs make in the NBA night after night. It is especially disgusting to see in basketball a sport that can be easily and so greatly controlled by the refs and there needs to be a change in the culture of the fan bases
Thank you so, so, so much for putting this together.
