Criticizing the officiating based off of free throw disparity is trash. It will always be the most basic bytch fukking analysis of the games ever
It’s not, and only a Lebron fan would say something like that :mjlol:

A team shooting 36 free throws and the other team shooting 13 when both teams shot the amount of 3s is a clear indication of bad/bias reffing. The Raptors best scorers are all good slashers also so it’s even more glaring.

Anyone who actually watched the game knows his complaints are legitimate that was an outrageous display.

Even Lakers fans were sheepish in their game thread :mjpls:go look it up. I was watching Lakers local stream and announcers sounded shock on like 4 occasions.

Beyond the free throw disparity, there was a BS flagrant foul called on Quickley for a clear accident with zero intent, and wiped huge 3 pointer on moving screen that never would get called that late in the game if it was the Lakers.

23 in the 4th alone?

Yeah they would have suspended me if I was the head coach of the Raptors.

Raptors sent them to the line 10 times in the last 30 seconds of the game on intentional fouls.

Until then, Lakers had only shot 26 free throws all night, and no one on the team had more than 6.

You didn’t watch the game

Your agenda posting is nasty

Box score expert over here


Look at the poster I'm replying to, look at what he said (despite openly not having watched the game), then look at my reply.

There are a dozen people in this thread who are openly coming to conclusions based off a single box score stat, but you're mad at me for a simple correction of that stat?

-70 paint points with 13 free throws all game
- 2 FTs for Scottie despite extremely aggressive game.
- Flagrant foul call so ridiculous even Lakers announcers balked at it.
-Moving screen in late pivotal moment of game, after AD flop, that gets disregarded 9 times out of 10 in similar context
-Biggest 4qtr free throw disparity in the entire season

People who actually watched this game in real time, including Lakers fans, recognized this was a terribly officiated game.

That's a fine argument, not that you're an unbiased source or anything. But simply yelling, "The Lakers shot 23 FTs in the 4th!" without acknowledging that almost half of those were in the final 30 seconds when the Raptors were intentionally fouling is disingenuous.

You didn't mention, of course, that your center was out and you were forced to start 6'8" Thaddeus Young for the first time all season and got abused inside. Or that you were legitimately fouling A.D. all game long. Or that AD and Bron rarely foul inside no matter who they're playing (1st in the league in fewest FTs given), and Bron especially will let guys score inside rather than fouling, which is why you can get paint points against the Lakers without getting FTs if you can get past them.

But I completely believe you that the Lakers got a lot of 50-50 calls late in this particular game.
