Up until that presser i have largely been indifferent or negative towards this man.
That was passionate, and accurate without being campy.

Honestly, the RJ moving screen is the one that gets me the worst because it really represents the state of NBA officiating.
It was technically a foul and technically a moving screen. But it's the type of play that is a play on 95% of the times or more around the league and Golden State built a modern dynasty on them. AD was way too far out to actually challenge the shot and instead pretended to challenge just so he could run into RJ, flop, and pray for the whistle. RJ was barely moving and had beat AD to the spot and most of the movement was after AD ran into him.
If you call that, there were a half dozen other calls that the Raptors should have received through out the 4th, most notably the blocking foul on AD (which would have been his 5th with like 4 minutes left) on the Scottie drive & layup attempt that was called a shot block, and the obvious and-1 when Scottie dunked on Max Christie.
I'm fine with the game being called tight, but it has to be called tight in both directions and it just wasn't. Raptors got no calls despite contact, the Lakers got calls on every bit of contact.
