That’s true but it’s hard to blame the officials when our defense on the last play was so laughably bad. They got a wide open uncontested three from their best shooter without making a single pass.

Glad I tuned out a few weeks ago. Still, it sucks to lose especially the way we have. Basketball just isn't the same sport it was in the early 2000's. I'm kinda enjoying not losing my mind over these ****** refs, but my interest will be at an all-time low until this ref problem is fixed. It's just not fun and it's more theater than anything.

Yes. I will agree that the defense has been terrible at times as well. And believe me, I'm not saying the refs cheat, they are just terrible and have a REALLY BAD habit of inserting themselves into the ending of our last two games.

Or... Am I wrong and referees help determine the outcome at the end of every basketball game?

I'm just frustrated for these guys because they have tried so hard the last few weeks and sometimes breaks should go your way.

It’s two different issues. I agree that the refs in this league are bad and affecting the outcome of games.

But we control how we defend at the end of games. If he makes a contested three more power to him, but Lachance should be denied the ball and have a defender right in his grill.
