Fred VanVleet felt as if there was no other way for him to bridge the communication gap with referee Ben Taylor without running the risk of getting ejected. There’s a bigger issue, though. ekoreen explains:
with the belief the referees will be worn down over time and let them get away with more than most other teams because of it. For what it’s worth, the Raptors’ opponents shoot the sixth-most free throws per field-goal attempt in the league. The Raptors themselves rank 16th on the offensive end.
On that front, there should be no question: The onus is on the Raptors to figure it out from night to night. As much as players are humans, officials are humans, too, and no two referees are going to interpret each of 100 calls the same way every time. “I don’t really have a concern,” Nurse said when asked if he is worried referees are going to officiate his team with a microscope now that they have publicly complained about their treatment. “I don’t want to get into that mindset. Yeah, would we like a little better whistle some nights? Of course we would. I think most teams would, and we certainly would.
The Raptors are nowhere near good enough to get bogged down in this, and they know that. It’s the bigger picture — how referees, players and coaches figure out how to have more productive conversations without one side feeling unnecessarily aggrieved — that is much trickier.“We’re going to disagree at times,” VanVleet said. “Again, I think there’s healthier ways to do it than what transpired last night. I take full accountability for my actions and what I said and what I did.
