Game 2, NBA FINALS: Golden State Warriors @ Toronto Raptors - Sunday June 2nd, 8pm ET TSN

And that missed goaltending ....

anyway .....18 to 0 run ..that's why we lost

Clear example of Tony Brothers's idiotic officiating was when he called jump ball on Kyle and Steph when it was clearly a foul as Mallory correctly called it.
Tony Brothers shouldn't officiate in the playoffs, let alone the Finals.

'defeatist'? It's just the facts. Next game, the guys play smarter, we win.

You said stop whining about the refs, bro.

So just accept that our boys played bad,
BUT never mention the fact that the refs did a bad job as well ?

[KeonClark]

How the hell did he have time to look for a house during this run? LOL

Wife, assistants, etc do all that. He just probably gives final approval. Tells them the things he wants (style of house, amenities, and they go do it

picture any of the annoying tasks in life we all do (moving, shopping, wash the car, laundry, taxes, yard work, cleaning) and then consider that these guys dont do any of those things

Kyle Lowry can't be fouling out in these types of games. Period. People can whine about Brothers all they want but Lowry was also in foul trouble the other game.

He also fouled out in a must win game against Milwaukee in G3.

And oh, they need him to score. 9 points in G1, 7 last night. Inexcusable.

You've said that a couple of times and I let it slide the first tme figuring you typoed and no one corrected you but Lowry 13/1/2/1 last night, not 7.
Unfortunately the third leading scorer....

Basketball is the hardest sport to officiate IMO. But its everywhere. Do you remember the non call that allowed LA to advance to the Superbowl? Or how about the asinine calls going against Vegas Knights and Avs this year in favour of the Sharks.

The NBA needs to allow more incidental contact and you should not be allowed to call a foul unless you clearly see the infraction (no phantom fouls). No calling flops and head snap backs if you don't clearly see the infraction.

That way, bad reffing would be called on the carpet since you would have to say you clearly saw something that never happened on tape. FAR too many judgement calls in the NBA ....

[G__Deane]

I'm surprised they admitted it .....

We play in the league as it is, not in the league we wish it would be. You have to play through bad calls. It's just facts, it happens every year, and expecting otherwise is pure fantasy.

Maybe you were a little overconfident about our victory. We are not good enough to play like shit and defeat a dynastic squad like the Warriors.

We need to execute better on multiple fronts, and if we do so, we can still win this series. (Depending of course on whether KD returns and what his impact is.)

I don't have to play through anything but they played through, yeah? What are they going to do stage a protest?

But what I'm telling you is its bad for the product to see lopsided officiating like that and it's games like this one where the tinfoil hats squad comes out. There is more than one reason why the NFL is a superior league to the NBA but one of them for sure is the officiating is much better overall. This league could learn a thing or two.

[Apollo]

Stop this whining about refs. Lowry, Leonard and Siakam were not good enough last night to beat an injury depleted, sick GSW team.

If you want to have discussions limited to what you want to discuss then pick an island and sail away.

This one will perhaps be, spoiler alert.... less glorious.
