Raptor's Coach, calls out NBA officiating

[lifelonghockeyfan]

About time. He made his public rant after the last nights game. IMO, many fans, the NBA players and referees do not know what a foul is (or isn't). Gee, a few years ago an NBA referee was finally caught cheating, after been an official for years.
Generally, people who are dependent on the NBA for their salary, do not call out the league, cause it brings attention to the WWF nature of officiating.

you want foul calls? drive the lane.

top 10 in 3 pt attempts, and the FT attempts per game are right in line with the other teams that take the most 3s.

he also must've forgotten that the Raptors opponents shoot the 8th least FT per game

reffing has been atrocious this season

here's an example

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

This is the NBA everyone wanted when they took hand checking and defense down lane away

You wanted this soft call everything NBA because it had more scoring and more highlight dunks , etc

This is why today's NBA is such a laughable joke in terms of quality of play from golden age that was 90's

The lowest team PPG this season is averaging 100.9 points (Bulls). Lol what a joke. I remember when points had to be earned hard. Good defensive teams would only allow points in the low 90s/high 80s. The NBA and the NHL should trade problems. The NHL's lack of scoring could use the NBA's offensive boost.

You guys realize offensive efficiency is basically the same, it's just that pace is up, right? The Bulls in 1995-96 were slightly more efficient than the Warriors today (115.2 points per 100 possessions vs 114.5 points per 100 possessions) but the Warriors score 10.3 points more per game because the Warriors play at a much faster pace than the Bulls did (and the Warriors are only 10th in pace this year.)

I remember when someone here was arguing Jordan didn't have a harder time scoring back in the day

 

[Power Man]

I remember when someone here was arguing Jordan didn't have a harder time scoring back in the day

To be fair Jordan played against off duty mall cops and to this day is still the most ref protected player in the history of the NBA

 

[Terry Yake]

the NBA has become what it is today because of harden, wade, and d'antoni
