Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor:
Congrats to OKC, inspite of the bad refereeing they fully deserved their W.

I don't know why regular season games don't matter until the warriors lose.

I could not care less if I tried. I just need 67wins come May and for halfwits to stop telling us we hurt the parity in the NBA.

I remember when we lost to Washington, Bulls and Heats in the space of 4 games (only beating Knicks in a close game) and people said we were not going to finish top seeds. Then we went on that 17 game run without KD and started hurting the league. LOL. Good times.

Let WestBrook enjoy his rare inconsequential W. we got whooped by Denver last season as well. Atleast they won't say he does not have help.

Shouts to Kyrie and the Celts for the run. They have already proven their mettle without Gordon, can only imagine how good they would be next season with him.

SmooshCHN, notice how regular season games matter when Cavs win? grin

Yeah..agree with that...then why calling out the refs?

Truth be told,i always criticise my team (especially westbrook) when they don't play well..

I don' really call out the refs cos lets face it..sometimes,refs calls could either go in favour or against your team but when my team does well (especially westbrook),i will also be quick to give them the ups..
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 8:57am On Nov 23, 2017
At least people have seen that Lonzo is all round a better player than De'Aaron Mouse.


Stupid loss though. angry

You don't need to like it but the refs were bad yesterday and over the course of the whole season heavily lopsided against the Warriors. I can count the only genuinely ref'd games that resulted in Ls. Rockets and Pistons and funny enough both games were at Oracle.

Sure, in a game bad calls can go either ways and be balanced, but when it is as flagrant as it has been this season, guy forget it. It is as if GSW have to win games inspite of the atrocity.

Even in wins I came here to complain; the Brooklyn Nets game, the game at the Pelicans. So it is not strange that I would still voice out my complaints in a loss. I did so against the Celts, Memphis and now OKC but the latter is the only game I said the opposition FULLY deserved their win.

Even some non-Warriors fans said it yesterday - that the refs did not need to be helping the Thunders who were already playing well and were good for their W. So don't get rubbed the wrong way or better still, don't feel some type of way if rubbed.

So the refs are always against the Warriors?..Hmmm..this is a new one...

Bro..your team,GSW is the best team in the NBA..You should worry more about their performances and care less about the refs..If everyone wants to talk about refs,am sure we all have games where refs decisions go against our teams..

I don't feel robbed except when the calls against us are glaring..when its glaring,its not even me that calls out the refs..other fans do so..

Hardly. Everyone knows the warriors can't lost except due to bad officiating.

It is not a new one. In the past, Curry used to get the short end of the stick but players like KD, Draymond got their foul calls as and when due. This season even that has changed.

Secondly, toss ups have gone against GSW. I mean calls like when unsure, blow against GSW. Even commentators have noticed it. The commentators for the Celts game for example.

Thirdly, the type of fouls they call on GSW. Jesus, this is the worst of it. Someone on Reddit made a joke after the Celts game by putting a JPEG of Kyrie's face and said "if you looked at this picture, Kyrie just got fouled". I mean all the Celts' comeback runs in that game were helped by unnecessary free throws and I said so. There were a lot of phantom fouls on Kyrie and Tatum. In fact, GSW led 88-84 with a little over a minute to go and guess how they lost? With 8 FTs. Final FT count was 38 to 19.

I know someone might say "they were not attacking the rim enough in that game". That was the half assed anal-lysis (pun intended) but if you looked closely, Jaylen was fouling players left and right and center and they called it great defense. But any decent defence on the other end, foul! I could go on and on.

I would not worry about refs and my team at the same time. I am not even worried about my team. We lost to Cavs by 1 in Dec. On here, the talk was "Cavs now own the Warriors" "Curry is playing possum". We bashed them by 26 and handed them a gentleman's sweep in the finals. Verdict; Warriors are hurting the league.

I mean, we beat SAS with all their starters, down by 25, at their home ground. Then first game of the playoffs we are down by 23 and Kawhi goes down then we win. And even on here people argued that we would have lost had he stayed on. Like, literally, to them the regular season game did not matter - until someone beats Warriors at their home ground - then it is fire and brimstone.

We are 13-5. We need 10 more losses to not achieve 67wins. When we get those Ls, remind me to worry. Till then, let me complain about the incompetent refereeing that has been going on. Because we are that one team that has suffered it the most this season. If you know another team, present them so we can fact-check.

See how people celebrated Celts losing yesterday. Same people who pretended to feel for them when Hayward got injured. I said it before; people celebrate you when you are working towards something then hate you as soon as you have it. That is the GSW story.

Bro..this season,the highest points we have lost by is 7points and that was just one game (against the pelicans)..we mostly lose games by 2,3 or highest 4 points.

I could have easily said if not for one or two bad ref calls,we would have won these games but i focus on our negatives instead (i.e our inability to close) and forget about any refs decisions cos come playoffs,when you win..nobody remembers or talks about refs decisions that went against you.

But btw,this game was a blowout...

Nah man. There's a conspiracy in the NBA. Didn't you notice how a foul was called when KD and Draymond played drum with kyrie getting to the rim in the Celtics game? The commentators even complained because GSW commentators are very unbiased. The NBA is obviously rigged for money or ratings or both.

How many of your Ls are coming due to 45-22 FTs, 38-19 FTs? I am talking games in which your FG%, 3PT% are way better than the other team but they beat you simply because they went to the line more for fouls nobody can see?

If you can show me games were WestBrook fouled out for getting 4 ticky tacky fouls to add to 2 genuine ones, or where you squander 17 point leads to 13 FTs in one quarter maybe I can listen to you.

Abi are you talking about another under 500 OKC? The one we have seen this season have just about gotten what they played for including yesterday.

Telling us you won by a blowout is laughably consolatory because I have said times without number that OKC FULLY deserved their win but did not need the gaffes by the refs. Your response should really be that OKC did not con the refs into making those calls and I would have agreed and blamed the NBA - which I have been doing, not blaming individual teams.

Nobody remembers when you win inspite of bad refs? That is not true. Ask KDs mum why she kept saying "they tried to take it from them but they wouldn't have it" when GSW miraculously beat Cavs in game 3 of last season's playoffs. That game like the game 4 was diabolically ref'd but some how GSW found a way to win.

We still remember it till date despite winning that championship.

I know you can't see past your nose but I am pretty sure someone told you that the Celts vs GSW game was not being analyzed or presented by GSW commentators. In such games, the home team's commentators do so.

Now find out which team was ahome in that game.

You learnt something today. You are welcome.

LOL! Doubling down on his stupidity, the clueless one keeps digging himself into a hole. NBA games are broadcasted through multiple channels each with unique commentators. For instance, whenever I stream im sure to get the link with Cavs commentators fred mcleod and Austin carr, if I don't I change until i find the right one.

You are the one who is glaringly cretinous and you are almost copying monikers begging for validation.

Do you know what a nationally-televised game is in the NBA?

So you really want me to start digging up stats?

Let me even give you an example..

Remember the Green and Adams incident,where he kicked Adams in the groin twice and he was fined and not suspended..Almost everyone complained that he should have been suspended and not fined and remember because the refs didn't see it,so he could not be given an automatic ejection cos that was a flagrant 2 foul..

Should i now start saying if Green got the ejection and maybe got suspended,we would have won the tie...You and i know the effect of Green suspension on the Warriors team which you later saw the Cavs vs Gsw finals..

I cared less cos of the quality i had in my team in Russ and K.D...Instead i complained about Russ stupid turnovers and K.D's inability to get shots..

The only thing that got me annoyed was when Green kept insisting it was not intentional..

I mean, just even go to OKC reddit or fan-based columns and bring the evidence that even OKC can make a case about being hard done by.

I need to see anything that proves any team can make the same argument I am making for GSW.

Take note that this is not me saying without the refs GSW would have won -no. Instead I said OKC should have won, but the refs did not need to be as bad.

Or can you guess why they would still need to be bad on a day GSW are not up to it and OKC are playing out of their skin?

I am back-tracking that you can bring one link - just one with GSW commentators doing play by play commentary on that game? Not any game? But that game?

I am back-tracking about that game being televised by TNT and every other streams basically restreaming what they got from them?

I am back-tracking about Celtic commentators making the argument about some questionable calls?

I don't understand.
