Watch VanVliet's rare attack on the judgment: "Fucking terrible and terrible" - voila! sport

Toronto recorded a second loss in a row tonight (between Wednesday and Thursday) - this time 108:100 against the Clippers, and is currently ranked ninth in the East, only half a game behind tenth Washington, when Brooklyn is sixth, which is ahead of them by six games, they will no longer achieve.

Now, the Raptors have no choice but to fight for their place in the play-in.

What the last two losses have in common: at their end, the Toronto players complained about the refereeing.

Against Denver, Scotty Barnes was sent off after a technical foul and claimed that "I said something to myself and the referee was probably angry, so he sent me off", while tonight, it was Fred VanVleet with an almost unprecedented criticism of the refereeing team.

The center received a technical foul in the middle of the third quarter that he claims changed the momentum of the game, and at the end attacked Ben Taylor with a bunch of curses that will surely cost him a very high fine - maybe even a suspension: "I think Ben Taylor was fucking terrible tonight. In most games, you know that one Out of the three referees is going to screw up the game. It's already happened two games in a row. It was also difficult against Denver. And then tonight, we struggle, and I get a stupid technical that changed the whole dynamic and pace of the game."

VanVliet added: "Most referees try, I like most of them, they are quite fair and communicate well. Then there are those who just want to be shit and screw up the game. Nobody comes to see this shit - people come to see the players. We lose One of the most important things in the NBA, and this season it's disappointing. Look - most of my technicals were whistled by Ben Taylor. At some point you have to feel that it's personal."

Indeed, of the eight technical fouls whistled against the Raptors' point guard this season, five came from Ben Taylor's whistle (including a ejection against New Orleans).

The United States did not remain indifferent after the attack.

"I have never seen anything like this," tweeted a journalist from the "Sportscent" network.

"He's going to get a very, very high fine," added journalist Michael Grange, while Sam Vesni of "The Athletic" tweeted: "It's pretty amazing, he just went for it 100 percent and I respect him. He spoke without confusing the brain ".

The Clippers, on the other hand, recorded a second win in a row after five losses and gained quite a bit of confidence.

According to Paul George, his team has everything it needs to compete for a championship: "We have it, and we've already proven it. Even in losing to them, we showed that we compete."

Kawhi Leonard added: "For a moment we did not lower our heads, even after losses we believed in ourselves."
