looking at NBA twitter,
2 things come to mind
1. after all the hate the refs were getting on NBA twitter page, the post a video about respect showing refs and NBA players laghing and smiling at each other
2. NBA was quick to post Westbrooke highlights, like seriously, they posted like 5 different videos/gifs about westbook getting another triple double, and OKC winning.
Seems fishy

DeMar was a pylon on defense. Serge was bad at, well, everything and closed at center for no apparent reason. There were a ton of Raptors mistakes, and as bad as the refs were, those are still worth acknowledging.twitter.com/anthonysmdoyle

Literally none of this loss is replicable in the playoffs. They won't play 7 games in 11 days, they won't play OKC, and they won't be resting Fred.

The one thing I'll say about not playing Bebe to close is that as good as he was today, he played no minutes against Adams, which made it a lot easier for him to look good compared to the other Raptors centers.

This is one of our two achilles heels; the other being that the only player we have to guard Lebron is a rookie.twitter.com/anthonysmdoyle

I'm all for the Raptors needing to play through bad reffing because they'll see plenty of it in the playoffs, but bad playoff reffing tends more toward the other extreme of not calling anything, even if one team is far more egregious than the other. The Raptors have done pretty well with shutting up and playing through a loose whistle this season.
