I’m sure his players will help him with the $25k. He’s right tho. These new refs the last few years have blown too many calls. Too many easy calls.

There was a rogue ref years ago, cost the suns a final appearance but I catch your drift. And I agree with most of it. Could be another rogue ref out there too.

While there is some discipline for referees, it is not fines and it is not public.

The NBA has resembled a reality TV show over the past few years and has become sort of like the WWE its obvious. I mean is it just a coincidence one big story after another about nothing comes out and boosts the ratings, not to mention its the same teams winning over and over and it’s only the Big Market teams with the exception of the Thunder. Not to mention even the lottery picks have been suspicious throughout the years too and ALL of this started going down when David Stern took office the guy is all about money and ratings and the refs have just been like his secret police to make sure everything goes as planned to benefit the league, I mean there’s really no such thing as an underdog anymore in the NBA. Teams like the Heat and Lakers get completely outplayed especially in the playoffs and magically come back by getting to the line every other play and getting ridiculous calls the idea here is ok glad he finally said something I jean it’s like a dictatorship your not allowed to say anything no matter if its true or not, and if you do you get fined or suspended then Stern gets his people to call those people crazy and people believe them or have to. Notice how the only teams that don’t complain about the refs are those specific teams that everyone else gets mad at these refs call me crazy but its not just a coincidence anymore. I’m glad people are starting to speak up maybe eventually everyone will get fed up and day something. I mean the Lakers went to the line over 20 times in the 4th quarter in game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals which broke the record not only for 1 quarter but a whole half most teams don’t go that many times in a whole game they went in one quarter to make a magical comeback when they were getting clearly outplayed I mean its all there it’s whether you choose to see it or stay in the dark. Eventually the cat will come out of the bag.

Even at 100k it had to be said. NBA you have a problem. Video replay in the last 5 seconds has to be considered. Also, there is no way this happens more than once to la/chi/ny etc.

Good for him, he knew the fine was coming and didn’t give a $#!*. Making a 25k statement is pretty impressive..

Raptors are in the bottom half of the of the NBA for FTs. they got hosed on the call.sucks.Casey needs to do this more often, only way to get the refs to make a more level playing field for his team. Jeff Gundy made a career out of it.Whnning.

The Raptors have gotten screwed multiple games this season by the refs at the very end of games. Probably a statistical anomaly, but Casey’s frustration is totally understandable.
