Couldn't the ref have reviewed the call?

My bad, the rule I quoted was an NCAA rule.

Unreviewable. But the out of bounds call was reviewable.

No excuses.

Wont argue with the fouls...but those russ shots and 25 points come back cannot be rigged..sorry..

Guy, relax and read what people are saying. Nobody said the refs made shots for Russell. I am even the one who used the exact line you have above "that Russell's 3s could not be rigged" but you need to understand something.

If I want to swing momentum against GSW today, I just need to put KD or Draymond in foul trouble. If Curry is playing, do same to him and watch momentum swing. For OKC, just get Adams or Russell in trouble and that is it. For Jazz, it is Gobert.

Gobert prior to his foul calls was swatting everything that came into the paint. He blocked Russell a couple of times and PG as well. Russell was 5/16 BEFORE Gobert left the game. He ended up 16/35. Which means Russell shot 11/19 after Gobert left. That is no coincidence. It is scientific.

How did Russell heat up? He first drove to the paint after Gobert left. Once he got fouled and hit the FTs. Next he made a 2pt shot. Then he hit back to back 3s. Then he got FTs again by driving into the paint. These are rhythmic shots. Once everything you do leads to points, you start getting confident to shoot more and the story goes.

This was 8mins left in the 3rd Q. OKC reduced the deficit to 13 through 3pts and FTs from PG and Russell so Synder panicked and brought Gobert back to stop the bleeding. Immediately Gobert got 2 FTs. He split them. Then he dunked from a rebound. Then he got an offensive rebound and bam! the refs called an offensive foul on him and that was number 5. He had to leave and did not return again till the 4th. And OKC tied the game by the end of the 3rd quarter.

So when we say Gobert leaving, changed the game, it did. I don't care who wins the series. I only wanted to see a worthy opponent for Houston. Now why I am sure they will rig the series is for obvious reasons it is more watchable than any other 3-2 series at this point. The next inline is the Wizards one in which Raptors need God in game 6 because that series will get to game 7 and so on. I rest my case.

Green would have a tough time staying in front of giannis as he is too quick and athletic

I am hoping curry forces the issue to free up some space for giannis against Green

Abeg nobody is rigging any series... Are they also rigging the Cavs vs Pacers series?

I criticize Russ and the others so much but on this one,i'm giving them all the props..
Its even difficult to rig at this point cos going back to Utah is very difficult..Even as a fan,i also hope for the best in Utah but will still pray to qualify..If at all they wanted to rig,we would have been 3-2 up going back to Utah so they can force a game 7.
If Utah wins the next game,would you also say the series was rigged?

Go and read up on your basketball history (search for Tim Donaghy and hear what he had to say about the NBA). I don't want to dwell on this as you keep missing the point. See how you reverted to Russ as if I criticised his game yesterday or was even talking about him to begin with. For the umpteenth time, I don't care between either team who wins. They are not going to play GSW in the WCSFs and neither will beat Rockets.

funny comments on there.

but my fave post there is this

They just need to implement a fucking review rule. For being as forward thinking as the league typically is, archaic fucking NFL has a review rule and the nba doesn't. like implement this shit already. If its a ridiculous review, dock a time out so that the rule doesn't get abused. But for shit like this, they need a review rule.

implement the damn thing, if the call is right, the team losses a timeout, if it's wrong, change the damn call.

Aliondo I am not attacking OKC. Change teams and use Houston there I will still say the same. The evil you entertain now may come later to hurt your own team.

I did not say the NBA are rigging OKC to win the series. I said they are extending the series and Oga Aliondo they do it. It makes them more money. If the series ended yesterday they made revenues for only 5 games but if it extends to game 7 they get 2 extra days. So the way it works is to give the losing team an edge that can help them.

I don’t want to revisit history. In game 3 of last NBA finals they tried to do same to GSW. Curry has foul trouble and Cavs got many ticky tacky calls. We were down by 13 or so with 3mins to go then KD happened and we won the game. KDs Mum said after that game that the NBA tried to take that game away from GSW but GSW refused it by playing out of their minds.

What did the NBA do game 4? They called every single foul on GSW in the first Q. Gave Cavs 22 or so FTs alone in the first Q. Cavs had 48 or 49pts in one quarter and a very healthy lead. Of course when a game starts that way with KD and Draymond getting 2 fouls each GSW could not play defence well and Cavs got into a nice rhythm and blew us out.

Every one saw that the NBA did not want to take chances so they fixed things very early. But we were just too powerful and wrapped it up in game 5.

Like I said, I don’t want to talk too much. This is not against OKC or Russell. It is about the NBA.

The NBA will never do this because they are not looking for a “fair” NBA but an entertaining one. It is my surmisal that they want Cavs vs Philly in the ECFs. They will manage the Cavs vs Raptors one but I am not sure it will generate as much buzz. Lebron is the golden boy of the NBA. He has to get to the ECFs at least.

How can someone see that type of call and tell me not to say anything because his team benefitted from it?

Yeah...I have seen matches where refs calls go against my team..even if i talk about it,i let it slide after then and look forward to the next...even if it costs my team a playoff series in a season,if you ask me the reason for our loss next season..i will tell you to forget about any antics of the referee or NBA and focus on the new season...This mindset of nearly always referring to refs calls or NBA doesn't cut out for me..

You can't tell me the likes of Rose. Crowder and Wade would not have taken some of the load of Lebron. Lue is really a terrible coach for not making that team work.

Good as Lebron has been Oladipo shooting 7/35 in the last two games is really why we still have a series. I don't even know if I can call him a fraud because that Game 1 was not sustainable. Still his regression seems to be worse than last season at OKC. Maybe he is just reverting to mean

Perhaps Jimmy Butler and the Timberwolves are a more appropriate team to term as a fraud

Ooh boohooo oladipo this, oladipo that. What about Kevin love? Is he not an all-star as well? If he was giving us 20 a night like he's supposed to this would be a sweep. Spare me the cry baby excuses.

Ooh and credit the Cavs and JR for doing a good defensive job on him.

fi omo yen sile, he just wan follow you yarn by force by fire. body don dey pepper am as no one gree follow am talk

Eruditor free this guy.. I swear if it was Draymond who came on the floor to push someone like Russ did in game 4, the NBA wouldn't hesitate to ban him I'm game 5.. Wait!! Didn't they suspend him when they gave him a tech after the game when LeBron said Draymond called him a Bïtch??
Someone's legacy you think he wouldn't play like a God? Of course he will at any chance he gets. Careers, millions was on the line yesterday what were you expecting? A 20pts blowout?? Gobert even stayed too long in the game. Ekpe Udoh (why are some Nigerians always so useless in crunch time sef? I've not forgiven Festus for that gave 7) just came to mark register and free the lane. Gobert came back then the offensive foul on that rebound.
No need to dey argue abeg. As you keep talking about the main thing, he keeps shifting goal post. I watched the game live and the 3rd quarter was horrible. Russ was excellent but he wasn't when Gobert was in there. We've watched this thing for too long we know how it goes. How do you give a guy a technical after a finals game? A finals series and then suspend him for calling someone a Bïtch? A team not mentally fit and ready would always blow that kind of lead when things start cooking.
If you're new to the NBA, you wouldn't understand how refs change momentum. Notice how the refs didn't even review a Oladipo goal tending in the last two minutes but will review will normally review it in a 3rd quarter. Of course the whole Cavs team is hyped and the Pacers melt cos they got blocked and forgot they had a foul to give. And then LeClutch drains the 3. Basketball isn't like soccer. One chance and everything changes.
