The NBA Playoffs Thread (non-Bulls)

The refs may not have helped Golden State but they sure as hell didn't hurt the Warriors.

 

What?

 

I'm not sure why this is confusing to you but the refs had no effect on the game. The Warriors lost it. No blame can be placed on the refs. None.

[Chris]

No blame can be placed on the refs. None.

 

Except the 3 by Dirk after what was a pretty obvious walk late in the game.

For the third time, every star gets that call. Kobe doesn't get called for a walk. LeBron? Nope. Duncan? Only by Joey Crawford. Walk or not, the refs aren't going to call it. The way they call traveling in the NBA, they probably wouldn't have called that on a good player either. Traveling in the NBA is ridiculous and you practically have to pick up the ball and run with it to get called for one.

Still yet to see any articles that mention anything besides clapping going on with the technical at the end of the game.

Not sure how that didn't hurt the Warriors.

 

Or how two Warrior players shooting 3-pointers and being hit but not getting FTs doesn't hurt the Warriors.

And the refs didn't miss any foul calls that would have given the Mavericks free throws at some point in the game? It all evens out. They miss a call on Dallas, they miss one on Golden State. Why do you keep bitching and moaning about this? You've already admitted that the Warriors blew the game. They didn't need any help from the refs. Whether or not you think the refs missed a call or two down the stretch, the Warriors blew the game. It's that simple. That's all that matters. The Warriors had chances to win. The refs didn't make the Warriors miss their last 8 shots, go scoreless for the final 3:20, and allow Dallas to go on a 15-0 run to end the game. The Warriors did that. Not the refs.

What if the Warriors were being fouled and nothing was called? Just sayin'.

You and Raisin keep beating this point into the ground. I GET IT. You think they missed a foul call or two late. My point was, don't you think the refs missed a foul call earlier in the game that benefited Golden State? You do know Golden State was down 21 in the second quarter and came back. Don't you think it's not only possible but likely that the refs made or missed a couple calls there that helped the Warriors. Like I said before, everything evens out in the game. One call goes the Warriors way and one goes Dallas' way. Christ, you and Raisin are making this out to be a bigger deal than the Kings-Lakers Game 6 in 2002. You want to witness a team who got jobbed, it was the Kings in that game (which I will freely admit). But the Warriors didn't get screwed over. Not at all.

[Chris]

I'm not that concerned with assumptions that the officials made bad calls during the duration of the game. If the officials were bad during the game then that should be pointed out. However, it was pretty one-sided late in the game. Maybe it was one-sided earlier in the game in favor of GS, I didn't see it.

Well if the officials made bad calls that helped Golden State early in the game that helped the Warriors come back, wouldn't Dallas have a right to complain that the Warriors shouldn't have even been in the game in the fourth quarter? You can't just ignore three and a half quarters worth of game play and focus on a couple minutes.

Everything doesn't even out in one NBA game. One game is far too short for the calls to even out.

 

This all started because I said "the refs didn't help [the Warriors]" and you disagreed. If the refs missed some calls down the stretch, thus hurting the Warriors, I don't see how what I said isn't false.

 

Just because this wasn't as bad as Kings-Lakers doesn't mean the refs missed calls and mistakes weren't made.

Well, the only shocking thing about the Lakers losing tonight (at least to me) was that they only lost by 9 points. I thought for sure that they would lose by 20. Oh well, a loss is a loss.

I really wish the UC was an ounce as loud as this. This is amazing.

EVERYONE WANTS TO SHOOT DA 3 BALL

[CaliforniaRaisin]

It'd be fantastic if GSW would play some freaking defense.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Plz come back healthy, Baron.

[Brian]
