Don't suppose you guys will be complaining about the fact that Korver traveled there followed by a joke T on Thabo.

 

I'm sure Stacey King would've murdered somebody if they dared to do that on King Derrick.

*Generic rant about SSR being a huge anti-Bulls guy for no good reason*

 

I only saw half the game with the sound off so I'm sticking to my guns.

 

But 9 point win over OKC, HELL YEAH

refs willing the thunder back into this game. this is inspiring. they just never give up.

i literally watched like 20 minutes of the game and i saw boozer get jacked in the face, not get fouled, and then immediately down the other side of the court durant gets away with his 18th walk of the game and is fouled on his pinky or something

 

i dunno man, i'm pretty sure this isn't just homerish whining on my part, we are getting absolutely jobbed the last few games.

<3 thabo

seriously, seeing thabo airballing threes for another team made me feel really grateful for once in a long time. miss his defense, but its worth it to not see him stink it up on the other side of the court.

Two of Noah's fouls were absolute jokes too. On one of them, he didn't even touch a guy and Korver was initially whistled for the foul, but they changed it to Noah. NBA refs, lol.

 

And hey, Rose actually shot some FT's last night.

What do you think the underlying reason is for the Bulls always getting the short end of the stick from referees?

 

I'm not much of a ref basher. In the NBA, they're usually comically bad for both teams.

 

On Saturday night, Rose had 18 shot attempts from the paint and had 0 FT attempts. I don't think I'm being biased when I say that there's something wrong with that picture.

I think it has to do with jealousy over Michael Jordan, deep dish pizza and bittery cold weather.

The thing about NBA officiating that I've noticed is that if I watch a game and watch the Bulls get jobbed on a bunch of blatent foul calls, I get heated until I read what the other team is saying about the game and they are pissed off about a bunch of blatent foul calls on the other side of the court.

 

Bottom line is: NBA officiating sucks. And while people bitched about the officials before, it really started becoming a mainstream issue after the Tim Dougnahy scandal. Now everyone thinks their refs have bet on the other team and are tying to cover the spread by calling fouls against your team. Every call in every game is now scrutinized. Add that to the fact that it's basically an unwritten but often discussed rule that superstars get calls that other players don't get, and you can start to see why everyone thinks the officials are out to get their team.

 

I personally think it's getting to be a big problem that needs to be addressed by the NBA.

 

All that said, Derrick Rose leads the league in most shot attempts per FTA. And he scores over 30% of his points inside the paint. There's something wrong there.

It's not that I think the Bulls are getting any less of a fair shake (although the Rose thing is ridiculously frustrating) than most teams... it's that I want the Bulls to start getting the treatment that the really good teams get.
