- Raptors vs Lakers ended in an all time joke with the Lakers getting 19 free throws in the final 4 minutes of the 4th quarter. Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic was livid and absolutely beside himself with the officiating and I personally agree with him. The officiating this year in the NBA in my opinion has looked worse than its been in the last few years and Lebron had nothing to say about benefiting from garbage calls.

I’m glad this happened to Darko. An old school European sports coach doesn’t care about the league they coach in those guys live for the integrity of the game. Soccer coaches go off like this all the time. I love the energy this dude brought.
He can always go back to Europe and another coaching job with zero baggage from this vs an American coach. More like he'll be admired for exposing the "big dog" league's phoniness.
Although is the same sport, in europe the clubs are independent, NBA is just a big corporation that happens to have its main product basketball games and a season...
dark got that mourinho energy lol
Lejoke
The sad part is Steve Kerr basically said something worse about the refs and got no fine cause he said it in a less angry tone but this will for sure hit this coach in the pockets because he was telling the truth
Crazy how Lebron only complains about the refs when it doesn't benefit him lol
I mean....that goes for everyone, no? Of course players would only be concerned about calls that hurt their team
You mean like every other player? When have you ever seen a player get a call in their favor and be like "Naw bad call ref!"
You’re spot on absolutely right this is ridiculous but it’s been this way for YEARS now, definitely an agenda!!

It turns the league into a laughing stock.
Baseball is also having "authenticity issues" lately (again), and NFL with how they've treated the Cowboys and Pats,
but it tends to be more obvious and look outright clown-show whenever the NBA allows and/or engages in fudgery.

IT wasn't a "clear 3", the photo you saw being circulated on social media like crazy was from a Bronsexual who deliberately posted the wrong one.
“ I felt like they fouled we didn’t”. Rigged and he knows it.
Need the refs to help his team win the games this is why he's not the goat.
you can see it plastered all over his face, he knows the game was not called fairly.

The refs started riggin the games around the same time last year. They were in a similar situation in the rankings. But this season they need the Lakers in playoffs more than ever otherwise the IST will completely lose credibility.
Raptors have been saying it for years now. Nick Nurse complained about it how many times? He got several fines for things he said. Freddy did too when he was on the Raptors. It's becoming so obvious now, that it's a damn joke.
Sports betting is ruining the game.
You are right. Which is why I'm dropping the nba and increasing my bet size on other sports
Facts. Every other commercial is for a betting app. Almost all TH-camrs talking sports have sponsored ad reads for draft kings, fan duel, whatever. Imagine having a gambling addiction in the 2020s my goodness
So if we bet on the Lakers does that mean they would lose? Since they would be favoring the opposite team instead
In defense of lebron and the Lakers, expecting them to win games fairly, is just unrealistic.
Lmfao fax
What are we expecting anymore. The only way to beat the Lakers is through momentum swings by the refs and win by 5+
Notice how Lebron didn't complain since the calls benefited his team this time. Maybe you find this normal but it goes to show how much double standards we have nowadays in the NBA
Literally no nba player complains when the call doesn't benefit them. This is stupid logic
@@ericmcmullen6254Can you not read? No one said lebron doesn’t complain about calls but it’s also true no one will say no take that call away I don’t want this free throw. He was literally talking about the fact no one in the league will tell a ref to go back on a call that benefits them. Improve your reading skills before you try to call someone a little boy💀🤡

This dude would've been like that kid in the ad saying "I touched the ball coach!" when it went outta bounds 😂
Bron with the lamest explanation ever on that foul call discrepancy in the 4Q. Especially hilarious considering how so many of his points come off of uncalled offensive fouls when he extends his off-hand.
And travels
OR when he lowers his shoulder like an NFL running back. He gets away with murder and it makes the nba unwatchable at times. Giannis gets away with it too but not to the extreme way that Leflop does.
That's his push-off hand! That's off limits.
I wasn’t 100% sure about coaching the raptors, especially after the run we have been on all season, the nons consistency and the loss to you know who WINK, But since the trade and this press conferences, my attitude has changed about him. That’s a coach fighting and supporting his team. Love it
Same
It's great to see he has the team's back and will fight for them. He will probably get fined for what he said, and he probably knew it while saying it. But it HAD to be said. I don't get how the league can keep ignoring this problem and sweeping it under the rug. It makes it so OBVIOUS that the league is rigging games.

Like 19 to 2 disparity? The refs couldn't even be bothered to make it look believable like they sometimes do. Its hilarious 😂
How could they? The Lakers needed all those fouls to win by 1. Even the refs had given even 3 calls to the Raptors the Lakers likely would have lost.
They couldn't make it look believable because that would've involved Lebron losing. They can't have that happen by any means! So they resort to making it blatantly obvious that they are rigging the game.
😂😂😂😂
while the raps also having significantly more points in the paint, it just makes no sense.
23-2 free throw disparity (4ThQ)
I'm so glad Rajakovic brought this up. We basketball fans have known for years that the refs rig many games.
Raptors coaches have been complaining about this for a few seasons now. Nick Nurse got plenty of fines for calling out the refs, same with a few Raptors players in the past. They have SPECIFICALLY called out Ben Taylor, THE SAME REF in the past too. It's completely ridiculous and an embarrassment to the league.
Why do you think 2K have both NBA and WWW licensing?
It's got to the point now where the game is completely ruined
19-0 is insane.

@@crispkiller6701big. Big. Big focking difference.
That’s why majority of people don’t consider Lebron as GOAT. Media don’t care but NBA fans have seen how much effort they put on certain games to increase the viewership. When Jordan was playing everyone went to see MJ, Lebron is only loved by his own team fans and hated by other team fans.
@@crispkiller6701 I didn’t watch the game. I’m going off of where the commentary mentioned this.
Lebron had no problem with it but he woulda been crying online had this been on him. NBA and Refs always rigging lakers games for their own agendas and profits. It’s a reason why all these “contenders” get these easy schedules but any below average teams are getting back to backs against contenders just so ESPN could glaze them till the playoffs
Theyre below average teams for a reason though lol

Leflop is the greatest, Jordan never won an in season tournament.
Do you believe it starts and ends with Bron? Cause my pet peeve with the fixed crowd is that they believe this is only for Bron and that no other great has ever had help from the league or from betting refs
@@andrewcook1246 I started seeing it with San Antonio's Manu Ginobili.
@@kenpatterson2948 Nah homie. For starters the league as an entity is listed as entertainment not sports. Betting is also as old as time itself. Refs, players, coaches, owners, etc. been influencing if not straight sabotaging games to keep 'em competitive, cover the spread, make sure the "right" team goes forward and whatnot since forever. It was worse before because there was less tech and analytics. At this point since everything is recorded we even got the %'s for how often x or y ref covers a spread and how often x or y team wins when he officiates. XD and with betting at an alltime popularity online its just too obvious.
I'm not saying its complete bs since you can only influence so much but its not the honest competition at the highest level its presented as. Nothing with money ever is.
@@andrewcook1246 Facts 💯 the NBA has been around for a long time fixing and rigging games ain't new but I feel like the people who have a problem with it being rigged or fixed only have a problem with it when a certain player or team benefits from it or doesn't benefit from it
I'd like to give a shoutout to the Refs for their incredible performance vs the Raptors last night. I didn't think the Refs were going to win, but they got there. Really fought hard against reality and willed themselves into that victory.
This is totally BS, the officiating is disgusting.
I owe darko an apology, I wasn't familiar with his game
Respect to Darko
He stood up for the raps and for the fans and integrity of the game!!
If they made calls fairly, not only would Lebron be thrown out for the amount of charging fouls and even flagrants in some games where he digs his elbow into the ribs of the opponent, sometimes the chin if the defender is lower, but the amount of flops and complaining to the refs as well. If pretty much any other player in the league complained and talked to the refs the way Lebron does after every dumbass play he does to try to get bailed out, they would be ejected from the game without hesitation. The fact that he can foul hard everytime he drives in with that off hand and elbow and complains everytime because he drives into 3+ defenders like an idiot and loses the ball should be enough to see how much preferable treatment he gets. He literally throws a tantrum just because the opposing team does basic defense. The defenders could be standing still with their hands straight up, he would miss with very little contact and they get fouled, and if they don't get fouled, he holds his wrist, falls to the floor, hold his head, or flails his hands around like an idiot hoping to hit someone, like a drama queen. He does most of the contact when he has the ball. Hard contact. Contact people wouldn't get away with even when players were allowed to make some contact when Kobe was still playing towards his prime years. But no, his charging sends him to the line. It's insane. He is a dirty ass player and gets rewarded for it constantly.
Skimmed over the message but please mention the traveling because he has the worst I’ve ever seen
Well said
Str8 facts.
Well I think it would benefit lebron a lot more than it hurts him if a robot were calling every infraction perfectly. The amount of contact bigger stronger guys have to push through to get the same calls as smaller guys is a big discrepancy, hence why guys like lebron started flopping to show the refs that very point. If the calls were perfect, I can guarantee he would nit be flopping, he'd be focusing on trying to make the shot through contact more, which would benefit him even more
One minute y’all say the nba is soft, next you’re crying about Lebron being too physical. Make up your mind sweetie
"Mmm.... i feel like they foul and we didn't"
Not only a player but a comedian as well.
Part of Lakers off season training is to attend Acting School. It is L.A. after all. One reason why Lebron and AD don't hurt a hand, wrist or elbow from flopping is because the FLOP is practiced and perfected to an art a Manu Ginobili would be proud of.
The fact that he gave this 3rd grade answer, but yet has ivy league tweets baffles me
Can't hide a lie 4ever. I guess 2024 is the year of the truth.
Just as the prophet Kat Williams foretold
Said it before, I'll say it again. The Lakers and Lebron MUST go to the playoffs, just like they HAD to win the in season "cup". That's how the league works sadly.
It’s like weekend at Bernie’s except a sports team

@@Vicariousendbingo 😭
Lakers kings 02 was even worse..
LeRigged
I watched this game on League Pass, the Lakers got a whistle every time literally every possession the last 3 minutes it was ridiculous. Quickley got a Flagrant for his elbow hitting Reddish on a Eurostep that was obviously a basketball move and RJ got an illegal screen bc AD barely ran into him and flopped on a Scottie Barnes game tying 3. Scottie Barnes was taking way more contact on drives than any Lakers players and still never got a single foul call. And the worst part imo was it made the pace of the game slow and hard to watch. Players should win the game not the refs, and I can’t help to feel the refs won that game for the Lakers.
Every time the Lakers got a whistle, the Raptors actually fouled though. Did Quickley not push AD? Did Quickley not elbow Reddish in the face? Did Schroder not kick out towards DLo? Those were all correctly called fouls. The last minute or so the Raptors were intentionally fouling while the Lakers were giving up easy baskets for them. Watch the entire game before commenting this.
You say you watched this game on League Pass as if this was the only Laker game you’ve watched this season. If you actually watched the entire game, you’d see that this was actually a properly called game considering the Raptors were actually fouling more. In most Lakers games, LeBron and AD get MUGGED at the rim and the refs never want to call it. It seems like the NBA knows when the Lakers play against these good teams like the Kings or Mavericks or Pelicans that if LeBron and AD attack the paint they shouldn’t give them the whistle because otherwise the other team will start fouling out. Please watch all the games before commenting this BS.
@@B345T1N355Official I agree that a lot of the calls could have been fouls, but it felt like the Lakers got the benefit of the doubt every time, while Scottie would get pounded and not get any calls. Quickly did elbow Reddish in the face, and I wouldn’t have minded it being a common foul as it still would have been his 6th and take him out of the game. But the refs had to go above and beyond for the Lakers and give him a flagrant on an obvious basketball move. If you have done a eurostep at any point in your life your elbows are just going to move that way. I’m not saying the Lakers have shouldn’t have won this game, they are a better team than the Raptors overall, I just wish the refs let the players decide the game, because you can’t deny it felt like the refs favored the bigger market team, which has been a trend since 2000s now. Not trying to hate on the Lakers or anything like that since that’s probably your favorite team.
@@oxiclean4972 The reason why it was called a flagrant foul was because of the elbow to the head. Usually with contact to the head, if they’re on the floor for a long time they have to review it. Quickley did not have to hit Reddish in the head with his elbow, he could have went for the body to try and drive in. That’s why that was called a flagrant foul. Reddish had to leave the floor after that call and you can see his lip was busted from that contact. I’m not trying to bring my bias on the Lakers because that’s my team, but as someone who watches every game, I see time and time again where the Lakers don’t get any calls late in the game when they should.
@@B345T1N355Officialit is obvious that you are bias for the lakers. I bet my left nut that if it was reversed you would be screaming your head off about the refs
Last season the lakers were struggling and not even in the playoff picture then all of a sudden they were the team with the most FT attempts per game😂 So no surprise when the Lakers suck the refs are pushing them into the playoffs with FTs again…
Bingo!
36 to 13 free throws says it all. This was how the Lakers made the play in last year by leading the league in free throws by a wide margin. This is only the start of a one sided officating.
I've seen Austin Reaves get a more favorable whistle than Jokic and Kawhi, I'm sick of it
Nah recently jokic has been getting some wild whistles
Austin Reaves must be busting it down for the refs in the showers because he always bumping someone and throws the ball at the hoop, and refs give him that shooting foul EVERY single time, is actually shameful lol
Bro, your videos make my day at times. The edits, comedy, accurate analyses, and commentary is great. That aside Raptors got screwed
This isn't a comment on this specific game, but I find it so hard to take these players seriously when they complain about bad calls. For example, Lebron complains about refs not giving him calls, but when it happens to other teams that he's facing that same energy is nowhere to be found even though he'll go out of his way to complain when bad calls happen in games between two other teams like with the recent Celtics-Pacers game.
The hypocrisy is what's most annoying.
Well no shit right? No one on gods green earth is going to complain about a foul that goes there way, especially not someone making $50 million dollars a year to win basketball games.
@@skalty9868 I get that, but don't expect me to sympathize.

Did you notice when Scottie scored the basket and Lakers inbound the ball Vaderbilt inbound the ball he stepped into the court with ball and go out again with it in front of the ref and they didn’t call it. Basically refs closed their eyes on Lakers half and opened it on Raptors half.

they just won Lebron Tournament couple week ago
lmao
Exactly
you couldn't bulldoze through people in real basketball ever. That's Lebron's legacy. Shaq started getting away with it and little by little lowering your shoulder and fouling the defender became a "skill", once Lebron began carrying the ball taking four steps through people. Show me highlights prior to this era where people did this. Playing football through people was not basketball; Imagine Karl Malone allowed to lower his shoulder play football take 4 steps and lay the ball up. He would have been the Goat.
You couldn't be more correct. Malone was a beast, and if he were given all of the benefits LeFraud has, he would have been sitting on 60-80k points.
Shaq did it within the rules as his offensive range was pretty much limited to the restricted zone under the basket. Getting the ball deep in the paint he was virtually unstoppable aside from the league wide “Hack-a-Shaq”, figuring because of his difficulties with free throw shooting they would take their chances with him at the line as opposed to the 2 point field goal.
@@cycleoflife565 Yeah maybe, he was deep, but displacing the defender was not allowed in basketball. Later they put the restricted area so there you were not supposed to take a charge, so basically they were saying to get out of the way close to the basket or you can get displaced... The skill was in going around or over, it wasn't supposed to be through the defender.
Imagine if WILT could lower his shoulder. He actually developed a reliable fade away and finger roll
@@Zee006_ Yes, Wilt going up through the defenders would have been a blood bath... this is some bs basketball era we are not watching...
Serbs are never short on words when they are given unjust treatment in basketball. Ex piston Darko Milicic had the best post game interview after a fiba game.
Great video Commissioner, props to Darko !
The 2 issues I have with your explanation is the play where LeBron James just drove in for a lay up with no resistance. This actually happens a lot. Angry Old Hoops points it out regularly but also adds that the defenders have to just move out of the way because if they don’t they get called for a foul. And no LeBron James doesn’t deserve more calls, he gets enough by being allowed to set moving screens which is hilarious that the game tying 3 was negated by one when I bet I can go through and point out probably 5 that the Lakers committed because they commit moving screens frequently in every game. Then add in the traveling and the consistent offensive fouls he commits that dont get called. He would foul out probably 70% of the games he plays if they actually called those fouls. And one other thing people ignore is when he shoves guys when they go up for rebounds. Just like Prince did on that layup. It looks small but when you go back and watch it slowed down he shoves him. LeBron James does that when he gets beat on rebounds and he does it A LOT. And no, the Lakers are not the only ones who get away with some of these things because the fundamentals are so bad in the league 90% of them commit traveling violations and shove dudes because they have horrible position to rebound and set moving screens. The Lakers and especially LeBron James just are the most egregious. Go watch AOH’s videos, whatever slack you give LeBron James will change. And if you go back far enough you will see he has been doing it for at least the last 7 years. So yes, it is rigged for them to win so they don’t start falling too far behind in the standings. Because they should be 3 games under .500 right now and sliding further into the trash.
It’s a damn shame. WWE don’t even script like this?
Vs the warriors I can somehow understand because warriors were a smaller team guarding bigger Lakers and moreover warriors don't drive to basket as much..so the discrepancy..But this is outrageous.. anyone can tell this is bs

Adam silver is helping Lebron and lakers as always. Lebron needs more help, do you remember Lakers fan!!
I love this darko guy he seems like he is finally speaking out about the entertainment side of the NBA. coming from a no nonsense euro league I can see why he’s pissed off at the corruptness.
He'd still been an NBA assistant for several years. He's not surprised, just fed up and with a platform to voice it.
Watched this game. So pissed at the officiating! Glad the coach called it out though! 🇯🇲🏴
Lol they added play in tournament to help lebron and even that's not enough 😂
Respect for this coach. Love it
When the league was paused during the pandemic I shuddered to think how I would pass time. I watched a lot of 90’s replays to scratch my NBA itch. When the league finally came back on I was immediately disinterested bcuz of how terrible the product was. It wasn’t the pandemic it was going back and watching the NBA’s golden era that helped me realize it. I believe a lot of fans realized this and began to tune out this era of basketball. In order to combat its ratings free fall the NBA has resorted to what is essentially rigging games in order to boost ratings and interest. They feel LeFlop needs to be in the mix for ratings to rebound. The problem is that he is such a polarizing player no one cares. It is what it is. Analytics have ruined the NBA in much the same way they did Baseball. They need to figure that out in order to fix their product. Rigging games is only going to drive fans away.
As a Raptors fan, this gives me joy, we’ve been FUCKED over by the league for WAYYY too long
Bravo Darko!
👏👏👏👏
The lakers post all star break “run” they went on last year, look at the insane free throws they were being rewarded. They averaged 35+ a night which is just outrageous. Not only does that get the other team in foul trouble but it’s all bail out calls. LeBron throws up a wild layout or loses his balance or travels or throws his shoulder into someone and they don’t budge and the refs just bail LeBron out with free throws. I refuse to watch the NBA due to how horrible and inconsistent the fouls are
NBA officiating has always been their biggest problem. Its ridiculous
'I felt like they fouled and we didn't.' LeBron's face after that says it all.
edit: Love your commentary! I also really respect you sticking with Detroit through the very thin. Keep it up!
I wonder why LeBron was not angry at the refs now?
😂😂😂 lebum
Man, I thought my favorite team: The Las Vegas Zebras had really set the bar high with that play on Jaylen Brown. But now they've outdone themselves. Watch out for the playoffs we comin' to get the bag!
Can't believe what the league I once lover has become!😢
Thanks for talking about this Commissioner! I know you're a Piston fan and I grew up literally in the middle between Pistons and Raptors. The nonsense that is the referee's nepotism for "LARGE MARKET" teams has been allowed to continue has to be called out to put pressure on the league.
**SIDE NOTE: Yes Detroit beat Toronto but Toronto literally had 8 players because of the trade. Keep repping brother!
At least Lebron could have said “ I could see how they would feel that way cus I would and I agree we need to make sure officiating is not only fair but consistent “🤷🏾♂️
😂NBA Ratings reflect the product... WE ARE TIRED OF LEBRON
There’s a big difference between one foul not called and having 19 free throws to 2 in the final quarter of a close game. Lakers were doing what the raptors were doing, but the refs only whistled the raptors. The league has a big officiating problem and they don’t care. It has been going on for most of LeBron’s career. They single-handedly gave him championships. I cannot wait for him to retire. Giannis is the same, but maybe a little more likable.
Had the exact same rant as Darko during last year's Western Conference Semi Finals on these ridiculous free throw discrepancy.
i agree with everything you said about the foul discrepancy - I think Darko got it spot on in that the refs were looking to give 'star treatment' to the lakers and were not giving Scottie the same treatment even though he was doing the same thing... think I would disagree about the Lebron bulldozing not being a foul tho, because he is that strong tbh
Calling games takes professionalism. If these guys and gals cannot be professional, they cannot call games.
An Ex NBA Star said, it‘s like in the WWE all fck’n show, it‘s complete constructed….. Darko is so damned right
Siakam was elbowed/pushed (no-call), but AD missed... got a call. Thanks for showing the footage.
Barnes went straight to dunk with a smaller defender jumping into this space (no call).
This has been happening for over a decade now in LeBron's favor. Nobody remembers the OKC vs Miami Finals? Fouls essentially handed them that ring. But I guess it's finally excessive enough that people are actually starting to care.
There's a reason why the NBA ratings are going down and this is part of it right here. There are already so many games during the season so the players don't always play their best at times. This game however, was very good up until the refs took over. Despite the free throw disparity and foul trouble the Raptors kept making shot after shot to make up for it only to get screwed in the end. Lakers fan don't get butthurt, this ain't about you. It's about the refs. Fucking horrible.
Laker fans, at least the ones who weren't fans prior to their king joining team, are just as bad as the refs
I agree 100% with everything you said.

It should also be noted that Toronto is #5 for fewest fouls committed per game while the Lakers are #1. It's a difference of about 2 fouls per game on average.
The warriors nuggets game a few weeks back was exactly like this, fourth quarter foul calls won the nuggets the game. Theyre not hiding it anymore
The problem with the league is that it isn’t a sport anymore, it’s sports entertainment. The nba is no different than WWE, it wants narratives and story lines. The free throw differential always favor the team with Lebron on it. How could they win this mid season tournament and then immediately go on a losing streak? The same way they went on a winning streak to get into the playoffs in tournament. The Warriors went on a weird losing streak and ended up having to play the Lakers. It’s amazing how things like that always just seems to happen. Or else the league is rigged. ( It’s rigged to make money of this fake ass goat narrative )
you’re seeing things very clearly
That LeFlop flex is so cringe.
When is the nba going to adress the obvious bullshit that keeps GETTING WORSE EVERY FUCKIN YEAR
his time is about to run out real soon
This game is Rigged
Never seen a coach call out the refs like that
Nick Nurse has done it for the Raptors in the past. He was fined several times from what I remember. This has been a problem for the Raps for a long while now. It was even a problem the year they won the championship, and they STILL won.
Dude, you are on point
That was blatant game rigging especially the 2 the offensive foul calls and if you dont think games with lebron are rigged i have a stat for you last night was the 230th game lebron was called for ZERO FOULS thats literally impossible
Lebron commits an offensive foul damn near every drive to the basket yet they NEVER call it!
@@robglobal1 and its clear as day when he extends his arm to create space yet I've never seen offensive foul called on him for it. Imagine how many less points he'd have if they just called his drives to paint properly
I don't know why the raptors didn't challenge those fouls
They lost their challenge on another call earlier in the game. A pretty marginal 'hand on the body' call when someone went up under the rim. It was so marginal that the Lakers telecast wasn't even sure who the foul was on until the challenge light went up and the officials announced it in the arena.
I'm not sure they could challenge 10 times
That's what I'm saying 🤷🤷
@@andrewtataj497 Thank you I was wondering when the two challenges was use
@@TheModernWorld-yt you only get 1 challenge in NBA, 2 in NFL
When are the refs ever gonna be held responsible for bad officiating? The games are cringe worthy watching it bcus of how bad the calls are 🙄
Great video. Thanks
