Shot with 23 free throws in that fourth quarter what you thank you Doug thank you Doug that’s that’s that’s outrageous what happened tonight this is completely BS this is shame shame for the referees shame for the league to allow this 23 free throws for them and we get two free
Throws in in a fourth quarter like how to play the game I all I understand uh respect for all stars and all that but we have star players on our team as well how’s possible that Scotty Barnes who is Allstar caliber player in this league he
Goes every single time to the rim with force and trying to get get to to the rim without flopping and and not trying to get foul calls he gets two uh three throws for a whole game how is that possible how you going to explain it
That that to me they had to win tonight if that’s if that’s the case just let us no so we don’t show up for the game just give them a win but that that was not fair tonight and this is not happening first time for us Scotty Barnes is going
To be all star he’s going to be the face of this league and what what’s happening over here during whole season I’ve been holding it back it’s a complete crap do you feel like you’re getting any explanations at all that offensive foul did you did you see like get any
Explanations no no there is no explanation they just they just come up there they review what and they see what they want to see they don’t want to hear us what we got to say they don’t want to hear the players they they they don’t just want to protect us over the game
They got 36 free throws 23 free throws in in the fourth quarter what are we talking about what are we talking about how are we going to supposed to play this a a one off do you feel this has been happening to your team a lot throughout the season it’s happening a
Lot but I’m telling our guys be professional keep fighting keep going for the next one but until when for how long else thank you thank you

He forgot he coached the LeBronto Raptors
That always happened: the nba is first a business, second an entertainment and third a game of basketball. Entertainment and money will always come first
Your just mad cuz tonight you suckas got served 😂
U playing the Lakers, they always gone cheat for them
Team chemistry +100
Coach Respect +100
Real people watch the NBA vs the NBA scam machine. Thank you Coach Darko Rajakovic for saying what the talking heads are paid to cover up. The NBA should be ashamed of itself. And it makes Lebron and the Lakers look weaker, seeing they need the refs' help to win games.
I've watched enough Raptors games to know he's right that it's not the first time they decided The Raptors would loose.
Playoffs MUST have the Lakes in attendance. Lebron has to be there no matter what team he is on. It is all about marketing and commercialism. Raptors were the sacrificial lamb.
Darko Rajaković much respect to you sir! You pointed out the much obvious BS in NBA. Officials did the same to Warriors a year ago.
RESPECT!!
Flashbacks of Kings vs Lakers game 6 Western Conference finals. We feel ya Darko! You got a game stolen from you. They stole an NBA Championship from us!
Baller has put in his request to head office. If the game with the Clippers is close the refs will step in and take that one from Toronto as well. You noticed that the time of the games is all about the California fans. Fans out east are up all night trying to watch. No compromising on the game time at all.
These refs need to be fined
From Palestine when he said “they review it and they see what they want to see” I’m like damn the NBA has learned from the us gov NBA give free throws to who they want and us gov giving free money n free weapons to who they want.
This man didn't lie. It isn't just his team that this is happening to either. Sport betting is ruining the game and the refs are clearly in on it. This man is a real leader for standing up for his men.
I would believe the NBA is not rigged if they didn't fine players and coaches for speaking how they feel
When Lebron started charging the net with his shoulder dropped and plowing straight forward into the defense I said, oh no, here we go again. Then Davis was doing it. Insane.
They know what they are doing and on paper if that heads just look at the stats it won't look like that bad of a free throw disparity because they only shot 26 but 20 of those came in the damn freaking 4th quarter
Some coaches in the NHL need to to the same. Games are being ruined by staggeringly poor officiating in both leagues.
The man ain’t wrong tbh Refs Carrying the Lakers Big time Rigged league Adam silver wants the lakers to advance to the playoffs no matter what Cuz they the Money Milker team 💵💸🤡
And zen ve vill tayke over da mOOOn!
NBA has been rigged but never like it had in the last 10 years. They have to do everything to push the fake Goat LeSwept. Pathetic
Yeah that's nuts
😂😂😢
Darkoooo
The league really does need to look at refereeing.
Another W for the North
NBA players get G-league assignments all the time… Shouldn't NBA refs get G-leauge assignments also?
I agree with James they followed we didn’t
Just once i would like to see a a coach for a lower respected team actually waive a white handkerchief and tell his players to leave the court and go into the locker room.
It's sad. The NBA is becoming a scripted game similar to the Harlem Globetrotters and WWE wrestling. And they wonder why their ratings are tanking. Who wants to watch a sport where the refs dictate the outcome of the game and play favourites with some organizations.
