I don't understand how the league isn't worried about their reputation. Every close call is going to Cleveland. Everybody's confused about what's happening.

I mean, I'm not really a fan of this sport, but do fans pretty much just accept at this point that officiating is corrupt?

Refereeing has been absolutely garbage.

Jump ball called on wrist interference. And then offensive fouls from nowhere.

I wonder if anything will be done about the reffing. Whats the point in being a raptor fan when they have to play against the team and the refs.

Unfortunately, in every sport refs will favor the players or terms with a "better reputation". I hate that about refs , "reputation calls" are the absolute worse and it ruins the game.

Between the garbage officiating and NBA breaking precedence on Draymond Green. It's hard not to think that something's up in their officiating department.

so if the Junk Kicker gets a Flagrant 2... what does that mean?
(like if it was in the game he'd be in trouble and buckets thrown....what does it mean after the game?)

Means nothing after the game. During a game means automatic ejection.

Fans accept it yes. You can go way back and see how the league fixes games. Watch some old Michael Jordan clips, it's even worse than this. The league created Jordan and they got exactly what they wanted. They want LeBron in the finals. It's fairly obvious why. The media rarely puts pressure on the league for it too. The only way it'll ever change is if that happens.

Offensive foul on Irving?! Damn, I thought for sure there wouldn't have been another call on the Cavs until game 6.
