I watched the whole game (vs. the Kings). The raps were getting jobbed by the refs 2 mins into the game when they called JV for 2 quick fouls. They knew what they were doing. they were trying to give the home town crowd a moral victory. The kings went to the line over 50 effing times. They didn't deserve that many trips. They were the most fouled team in the league and the raps got maybe 25 trips to the stripe. To top it off, it was the Lowry call that was the absolute pits. The team claws back with 30 seconds to go only to have this officiating crew steal this athletic effort from a group of "put it on the line" professionals. It would have been 102-105 with 2 min to go if Lowry had not converted on the 4 pt play. 103-105 if he does. They were down 20 going into the fourth. Thank you again NBA and your crooked refs. The best part of this loss, if you can find one, imo, is that Silver was courtside and watched the whole thing. He had to have seen the gross negligence at the sake of fair competition. I think they officials were instructed to ensure Sac gets the win. Toronto is going to the playoffs while Sacramento will still be Sacramento (as my buddy pointed out) when the game is said and done.

It's very hard to watch NBA games when refs are so prominent in the outcomes of games. Mark Cuban was right about this game. This league gets more criticism for its history of selective teams being competitive at the expense of the rest of the league getting fair playing fields. There's a reason the winds of corruptions blow louder for this league than any other.
