    Either the ref was crooked, or he personally has something against Lowry. Some of this **** will inspire men to read Tim Doughnagys book soon.

    Sometimes you have to wonder---I'm not saying this is the case; I'm just saying, you have to wonder---if NBA refs are covering the spread, if not downright throwing games one way or the other.

    Especially if it's a game that isn't under the hot lights.

    Otherwise, yeah, you have a bunch of refs who are:

    Thin-skinned

    or

    "Stupid is as stupid does" on the level of Forest Gump

    Seems like a legit call, but not a call they make 99.9999% of the time in the NBA.

    Trying to come back on the Kings in Sacremento? That's a paddling. I think K Low got off easy last night.

    Guys, ADAM SILVER was at that game chatting it up with the Kings owner and the mayor of Sacramento was also in attendance. Coincidence? Doubt it. Refs were clearly trying to get the Kings to win on that night.

    Wow, a Marc Cuban disciple!

    Wow, an NBA without a ref agenda narrative!!!

    wait which part of it was an offensive foul

    like I don't know which part they are calling, that he faded away? I mean he didn't even kick his leg out

    Shouldn't that be a 4-point play? I thought the NBA changed the rules on giving the shooter space to land, and it's evident that Mackelmore didn't. Not only was that call wrong, it should have put the raptors even closer to winning that game. Double wammy.

    I'm consistently baffled as how NBA reffing only seems to get worse.

    The ref who made that call must be dating Infini Robinson, and Lowry was probably talking **** to him.

    I'm guessing it's because Lowry embellished the running away part. If he just got up at a slower rate and jogged to the other side, instead of getting up super quick and sprinting to the other side.

    Not saying the call was right (it was terrible) - just saying that's what the ref is probably thinking.

    not even remotely a legit call. Not the technical or the first call.

    In no dimension of any universe is that a legit call.

    Not only is it a no call, it's also the wrong call & not to mention an added wrong call.

    A trifecta of ineptness.

    And he made the three.

    I can't believe we have one person in the this calling it a legit call. Or he's trolling us.

    Bad call, but Lowry's past ref-baiting came back to bite him on that one.
