"It is the vicious circle every non-contending team finds itself in.

You have to be good to get the calls, but in order to get good you need a few calls.

Right now the Raps aren't getting any calls and hit a new low last night getting to the free throw line just 12 times.

Not that there weren't plenty of opportunities.

DeMar DeRozan, a guy who with more time in the league will begin to get calls, had more than a handful of times he could have got a call but didn't.

The Raptors also desperately wanted a call on Jose Calderon's last second drive to the basket where Al Horford appeared to bump the Raptors point guard as he lost the ball out of bounds on the way to the basket.

Not only did they not get the call, the review to determine possession, which looked like it would go in Toronto's favour, went against them as well."
