2013-2014 NBA Thread - IND @ WAS and OKC @ LAC on ESPN

[jsindaa]

Rush hour happens the same time every day. Why can't you just plan ahead and give yourself enough time to get there?

Also it's Sunday.

The initial post wasn't about Sundays or Miami, he said it happens for pretty much every team. I simply offered reasons. Arenas just aren't going to be full before the game starts more often than not.

They should get rid of that stupid delay of game call. An old **** referee running to get the ball for the inbound is the real delay of game. If anything, the players are helping these old refs from not having to get the ball themselves.

Huh?

Wassup wit the heat and these recent losses. I aint eem had cable so I can't really talk my **** since I aint seen what happen

  late people.  I look down on you late people in whichever city.

I'm going to the Nets game with my bro tomorrow and I know he's gonna be like 30m late and leave me hanging.

It was a 2 game losing streak

That makes it worse then. They were only on a 2 games losing streak lol.

 

[dman14]

it's one thing if the ball is right below the rim and dude was gonna grab it and toss it to the ref, but if the ball is rolling back to the court
refs got to use common sense

 

[americangenius]

Heat with the home win Hopefully they come back to February form for the playoffs, let's get it.

 

[jesusshuttlesworth34]

This game finished 5 minutes ago. And as you can tell by a lot of non-Rockets as well, the game is pretty fresh. Blood has been gushing out your ***** in your posts every single day since that Rockets/Wiz game, bringing it up even when it has nothing at all to do with topics in here. There could be MVP race talk, and you're talking about Harden/Ariza. Paul George/baby mama talk, and you're on Ariza/Harden. Shaqtin a Fool talk, and you're still whining about Ariza/Harden. So ummm....I don't think in the one who needs to go anywhere.

Your post is filled with estrogen man. You melting down worse than your team in the final minutes.

 

[i get the yambs]

Of course we get more calls there's 3 superstars on the team superstars = more calls. But did that one tech with Dwight getting called for a delay really give the game away? They were up 6 with 6 left and after a time out they leave ray open for a 3. Then they leave him open for another 3. Then a wide open lay up. Its not like there were calls the refs missed for them when they were fouled or something.

And during the 06 finals who did the mavs have that could attack the rim like wade? Josh Howard? Wade was just attacking non stop.

Ughhhh

There were calls that the refs didnt call...

Just two offs the top of my head

Lebron holding Lin on the screen which freed up Allen for a layup and when Lebron drove and hit Lin right in his mouth but nothing was called.. If Lin falls down those calls might be called because the refs suck and call flopping a lot but nonetheless they blew those calls smh
Not too mention all the moving screens Bosh and Bron was setting smh

Am I?

I'm just so tired of NBA refereeing inconsistency and unfairness.  It's ruining a beautiful game and Stern/Silver couldn't be less interested in dealing with it.  They basically spit in fans' faces by allowing people like Joey Crawford to continue to work after, for example, threatening to fight a player during the game.  After all the things we've seen over the years, they haven't earned the benefit of the doubt.

And I'm not only talking about the Heat.  The idea of superstar calls in general is ridiculous.  If someone who had never watched the game before tried to figure out the rules, they would have no way of determining what is a foul or what is a travel anymore.  It seems totally arbitrary much of the time.  

But yes, LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, and by extension the Heat franchise have benefit more from biased refereeing than probably anybody else in the history of basketball.  Is it the only reason they win?  No, but I didn't say that.  They're talented enough that they don't need all the help.  It's ruining the game.  

all of that

I'm a LeBron fan, and that game was terribly officiated, at least the 4th. Obvious stuff was obvious.

At least you don't blindly kiss *** fam Respect.

As a die hard Warrior fan, we've experienced way too many bad calls throughout our crap years , I can understand the BS.

 

[dakidlo3]

Lebron and Heat beating this Rocket team would add to his legacy.

I've been in here after every loss we've had. They were playing like ****

Exactly. It's going to take at least a few second for these old a** refs to gather the ball anyway. They delay the game themselves lol. 

 

[imlive365]

That makes it worse then. They were only on a 2 games losing streak lol.

Just a few games ago it was a 3 game losing streak. Before they beat Washington

 

[AEA18]

Why was Lin playing the last 2 minutes?

Should have been

Howard
Jones
Parsons
Harden
Beverley

The refs wouldn't let Lin sub out

Rockets/Wiz played on February 12th, yet it's painfully obvious you've been seething every single day as if it happened today. Pretty pathetic, but if you think that about my post, try looking in the mirror. There's nothing I said that wasn't the truth, "estrogen-filled" or not.

McHale logic is to blame
Benches Lin in the 4th when he's playing good
Plays Lin when he's cold in the 4th

You the type of dude to lose and take his ball home while shouting obscenities from the top of the hill.

A comment made about James Harden offended you enough to piss and moan some more.

VCU just lost in the A-10 Finals and you don't see me acting like you man. Eat a snickers my dude. I hope for your sake you are under 16 or something.

I'll let you enjoy your temper tantrum.

Hug it out you guys
