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

[bronconation24]

Just listened to the whole 9 minute audio clip.... And wow. Just wow. This man deserves tortured for saying that ****. What a dumb ************. His gf also being one

 

[do work son]

Finally getting a call.

If I were Mchale after the game, I woulf take a fine and call out the officials Phil Jackson style.

This.

harden is a disgrace for basketball 
dude is one of the worst defenders in nba history and floppers at the same time 

if i d see him in the streets i d punch him as hard as hell in the face the punk 

You'd ask for a picture and an autograph.

Undrafted dude on the court while your season is on the line in OT? Idk

sup.

man houston not getting calls at all.

This.

Houston is fouled like crazy on every play.

This.

dwight getting fouled EVERY play down
whether he is trying to get position or when he is shooting

This.

If I were a Rocket fan I would be dissatisfied with the officiating.

I am.

Why isn't Asik playing ?

Because sideshow Bob didn't play the whole second half. Asik not guarding batum



I find it very odd that Dwight Howard, mainly mainly operating from the low post only shot 6 free throws, 4 of which came from mo Williams hack a Howard, while Aldridge got 7 operating mostly from 15-18 feet.

Harden and Howard were both top 5 in free throw attempts, and are STRUGGLING to get to the line, while LMA and Lillard are feasting there.

 

[deebo cole7]

Nothing will happen...dude has done worse

No offense but I hope your wrong. Would look horrible on Adam Silver if he doesn't act severely. And on to Sterling, I am beyond disgusted. He rather Blacks not go to his games but yet Black players are good enough to earn him millions? I don't see how any of them play for that bastard. I'd be on strike

 

[shoeking2101]

I can't wait to watch LA tonight man

7/24

Close enough knew it

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Owners/GM's/players/public address announcers have been fined/suspended for doing much less. Time for the NBA to step in.

 

[puglife]

well asik did foul him on one of the jumpshots. don't really remember the rest of the fouls on LMA.

dwight was getting pushed over by LMA late in the game when trying to post up and they weren't calling it. he also got blatantly fouled on at least two shots from the post up that also didn't get called. i honestly don't know if i'm being blinded by bias, but i feel like the officiating all 3 games has been really favoring the blazers. then, that dwight foul out call that changed game 1 completely can't be forgotten either.

it honestly feels like the refs got together to discuss the series before it started and agreed that houston shouldn't be getting the fouls they're used to. i know it's playoff basketball, but there have been A LOT of blatantly missed fouls including a lot when harden has the ball.

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

 

There's no doubt in my mind this is gonna be a big deal. This is 9 minutes of audio from the man himself and it even has a reference to Magic Johnson. Social media is gonna eat this up and ESPN + bunch of other news outlets are gonna cover this whether they want to or not.

I don't know how much the other owners cared about his previous antics...but this can't be ignored now. It's a black eye for the league. This is not the attention those guys want, especially at this time of year.

They gotta find a way to force the old fool out man.

Nothing will happen...dude has done worse

I hope you're wrong.

I don't see it though. Like I said, I see social media eating it up and I expect a **** load of comments on it.

Kind of wish the GF/TMZ had picked some time other than a Friday night to leak this. By the time Monday rolls around, it might not have as much 'buzz' and I hate that.

Wonder who "they" is when Sterling said "Don't put him on an Instagram for the world to have to see so they have to call me"

Refs

Thats all it is its painfully obvious to see that they are favoring Portland in this series

Im not blaming the losses on em but its hard to say they aint favoring Portland

If im Mchale im firing they *** up  and looking for answers from the league and ****

make it it more balanced and consistent 

 

[puglife]

mchale doesn't seem like the type. he seems too laid back to me.

is there anyway to find out how many of lillards points came against beverley tonight and how he shot when beverley was the one guarding him? he finished with 30, but i feel like most of his points came against Lin/Daniels/Harden.

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

Wonder who "they" is when Sterling said "Don't put him on an Instagram for the world to have to see so they have to call me"

I interpreted "they" as either his close group of friends or colleagues in the good ol' boy network.

 

[buc em]

Clippers out there playin' for Michael Fassbender's character in 12 Years a Slave...

Chick planned this though,

she tired of that old peen.

Julius F. Wrek

Yup.

Audio wasn't as bad as it could have been though. He didn't say the N word or say anything completely nuts...just said he didn't want black people at his games. Said she could sleep with them and **** them in private all she wants though

my bad, got my defensive ceters mixed up

they should have put lopez in for some rebounding help and rim protection 

 

[certifiedflyboi23]

just said he didn't want black people at his games.

Just??

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

Well...if Buc Em says it's not that bad, I guess I can sleep better tonight. Nothing to see here folks.

Buc Em has spoken.

 

[sea manup]

dwight should have gotten more fts, but thats homecourt advantage and/or they wont call that stuff in the playoffs. harden doesnt get fouled much, and he doesnt attack the basket like lillard so obviously lillard will get more fts

hard to draw fouls on 20 seconds of iso dribbling then a step back 20 footer

except for the dwight stuff on offense the refs are letting them play, if you want lamarcus to stay off the line dont reach in for steals. a frail guy like him will get a foul call while dwight wont.

when chris paul blatantly fouls someone its "being crafty" but when the blazers do it its "refs really biased today" 

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Yup.

How'd I miss this

 

[certifiedflyboi23]

just worry about the lakers

 

[buc em]

Really?

It was bad....and really, really bad that there's audio of it for everybody to hear. And dude is still living in the 60's with his ways. But it sounded G-rated as **** compared to some of the other racist and crazy rants from known people in years past. Go listen go Mel Gibson's rant to his ex-gf. Now THAT is some crazy *** ****

 

[sea manup]

just worry about the lakers

its too much stress b

i dont think i can handle it anymore

 

[certifiedflyboi23]

You guys will have Klay and Julius Randle next season. You'll be fine

 

[mr marcus]

Probably

 

[sea manup]

You guys will have Klay and Julius Randle next season. You'll be fine

thanks bro.

 

[antidope]

This is like the 5th time..... With all the dumb stuff the league address, they better address this
