https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk_EBNLyqxw I am on Bron's side for walking away during the press conference because the questions asked by M. Schwarz were ridiculous!! How do you expect him to speak for JR and make comments about JR's state of mind regarding a play? Is Bron a mind reader? I think the reporter was trying to corner Bron into speaking against JR and Bron is historically good at protecting his team mates irrespective of result. That question was definitely out of place especially the way it was constructed. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 6:34pm On Jun 01, 2018 |
Roland17:I saw the interview and while Bron was leaving he said "be better tomorrow" and I support him 100%. Sometimes players can be rude but questions like these are why some of them deserve the Westbrook treatment.. He kept asking the same stupïd questions over and over again. In KDs voice "he's a idiot". |

birdman:Come on man!! We dey watch the same NBA?? The rules changed like over 2yrs now. First, LeBron didn't establish his position before KD gathered the ball. You can't take a charge If an attacker already gathered the ball before you set your feets even if you're outside the restricted area.. Bron hadn't set his feets. Secondly, players and coaches have the right to ask for a replay during the last 2 mins of any game and the refs can change the call but they first have to make a call on the floor before review (2 refs had different calls). That was why everyone was complaining about Oladipo goal tending because the refs were supposed to look at it when Oladipo and his coaches asked for replay. Same when the ball was out of bound and they gave it to the Pacers. The NBA came and said it was a goal tend and also Cavs ball on the out of bound play. You can ask for a replay in the last 2mins. It's not rigging or scripting. Refs can change the rule if they find out they made the wrong call. Except if you guys don't want them to review calls. Brother, you've been hurt since Game 7 and you no dey hide am at all. E pain you gaan oo. Anyways we get it. The enemy of your enemy is your friend. Take blood tonic for now ![]() |

SmooshCHN, you have time really. When I saw people angry that the refs that I berate plenteously were bold enough to revert a bad decision and settle for the right one I knew who I was dealing with. Same people that will be bringing memes of “blame the refs”. My own ire is for the announcing crew and some analysts like Max Kellerman that said on LiveTV that the calls were “lopsided” in favor of GSW. I mean, people still listen to such bile commentary and junk tele-journalism? Now that the dust has settled, I am happy some have seen the pushing with his arms LeBron was doing whilst driving. CP3 does same and it is offensive on him. The other guy does it and he powered his way to the paint. Such tasteless pseudo analysis and gallery playing just emphasizes why IQ tests should be made prior to employment in any professional field TBH. |

birdman:Yuup. I swear it was so bad at one point i thought the NBA was trolling the viewers! Like i said, i'm done watching this charade. GSW will probably win this, i dont see how you beat four allstars plus refs in a game. But today has really exposed the NBA for what it is. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 8:30pm On Jun 01, 2018 |
SmooshCHN:The general rule in the nfl and nba is that if a call was made while ball was in play, further review can only overturn it in case of a clear cut mistake. The fact that you have refs on both sides means it wasnt clear cut. The call on the play should have stood. This is more than blood tonic bros Whenever people rightly or wrongly feel system is not transparent, it hurts the game in the long run. These types of mistakes are easy to avoid. So easy that when they happen, people like Eruditor will believe there is a conspiracy ![]() |

Truly proud of the Cavs for resisting the third quarter golden state "punch". Took it and said "is that all you've got?" And then put foots in them. The chokers were rattled but unfortunately the warriors have by far the best closers in the game, the refs. ![]() |
| Re: The NBA Begins by ipledge10(m): 8:45pm On Jun 01, 2018 |
Eruditor:The guy called Nick Wright just made referring the rest of the series so difficult, he went hard on the refree. I pity warriors for the rest of the series, they shouldn’t dare play any close game if they want to win cos the whistle gonna be against them most of the time. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 8:52pm On Jun 01, 2018 |
ipledge10:Don’t get swooned bruh. They are angry that refs reviewed a call and corrected it (making it the right choice). They preferred that the wrong decision stood. These are the people we are dealing with. Not too long ago, some troll said I complain too much. The same troll came online but kept Mum. He has not seen anything wrong with the preposterousness that we are observing here. Away from that, I need adjustments. We played them as if they were the Rockets which made that game fundamentally closer than it should have been. I know we would do what is required though. |

Restricted Area Block/Charge Review -Since the 2012-13 season, referees have reviewed all block/charge calls when they are not reasonably certain as to whether the defender was inside or outside of the restricted area. For more information about what constitutes a block or a charge, click here). Restricted area replays are conducted only during the last two minutes of the fourth period and during all of overtime. -When conducting their review, referees attempt to confirm or overturn their original call. •The call is deemed a block if referees deem the defender was: ---Not in a legal guarding position, or ---In a legal guarding position, but inside the restricted area •The call is deemed a charge if the defender was in a legal guarding position and outside the restricted area. •Referees also determine if any unsportsmanlike acts or unnecessary contact occurred." Once they determined he was 1.) outside of the restricted area (the reason for the review), they then determind that he was 2.) Not in a legal guarding position. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 9:47pm On Jun 01, 2018 |
They hate us so much they want a bad call to stand as long as it does not favor us. |

Don't lie now wardell stephanie, the jig is up. How many refs do you guys have in your pocket. Wardell Stephanie:

Says it all really Per Synergy Sports, last year, Kevin Durant had 37 isolation possessions in the playoffs, total. He has 128 this postseason. |

According to the two minutes report the Cavs were robbed worse than be initially thought. Surprised the NBA is willing to own up to the shambolic officiating we witnessed in game 1. Too bad you've already cost the Cavs the damn game! They claim however that the refs reviewed the charge call because they couldn't tell whether LeBron was in the restricted area or not? LOL are they friggin blind? SMH Robbery!

| Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 11:46am On Jun 02, 2018 |
NictisZorander:According to ruling, LeBron was not in the legal guarding position. And the NBA didn't own up to shít. Come back with another fake news Barthramlestat. This one didn't sell.

Thompson does not get suspended. He was ejected, did not leave early and hit an opposition player. Yes, guessed so. Radio silence on here. Now imagine that was Draymond. |

GSW have got things on lockdown |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Hardetayour: 9:29pm On Jun 02, 2018 |
Eruditor:Lol. I was laughing. I just couldn't help it. And those foolish ex-players too were saying it would be wrong to suspend him. Bunch of clowns. |

Someone hiding my posts again with all the bile on this thread against me. SMH. SmooshChn I know your weakness now. See calling you a dumbass hoe is doing gods work. ![]() |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 11:49pm On Jun 02, 2018 |
Hardetayour:This very season, Russell West Brook left the bench to join in an altercation when OKC faced Jazz. The rule explicitly states that he should be suspended from the next game. I said it here. He was not. To put this into perspective, Suns in 2007 lost a series to Spurs (WCFs) because their 2nd best player was suspended by the NBA after he stepped in when Robert Horry body checked Steve Nash that almost got Nash injured for the rest of the series. Now this comical show in 2018 after suspending Draymond in 16 (when he could have been fined) and then fining Curry for tossing his mouth guard (yet people who blatantly insulted the refs and NBA go unpunished) are the same clowns that want us to believe the NBA was helping GSW. I want you to know that the video of G.Hill baiting the refs into those FTs was praised by analysts as "being smart and winning a foul for his team". I want you to take note that someone pushing off people to attack the paint was called " magnificent drive to the paint" by Mark Jackson. I want you to realize that reverse angles have shown Hill smack KDs arm or how Nance struck KDs arm and pulled his shoulder yet the same clowns keep insisting that Lebron stripped KD fair and clear (when they should admit that the only error was Bron and not Nance got the foul). In all of these, I don't see how nobody points out that the game was tied at the end of regulation because Hill and JR messed up. So I don't know how refs can help a team and not make them win in regulation and also give the opposing team 2FTs to win a game and yet the same refs are called out. It is idiotic when not comical I tell you. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 11:50pm On Jun 02, 2018 |
And OKC vs Pacers in January, Refs overturned a charge call to a block in the last 2 mins of the 4th Quarter. That goes for "it has never been done before in the NBA". |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Hardetayour: 12:03am On Jun 03, 2018 |
Eruditor:Mark Jackson is just our resident clown here, still salty as hell. A player from Portland I think was suspended for stepping on the the court too and he was in street clothes. He was even fined. Those analysts that don't even know how to interpret rules of the game. Are those ones analysts or cry babies. There just there for hot takes and nothing more. Klay is questionable for tomorrow. Steph said he saw him limping and couldn't practice. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 12:09am On Jun 03, 2018 |
Hardetayour:Yea, but him and KD said they expect him to play so I think it is not that serious. Also, he was asked about taking pain killers and he said he has never taken one (hinting he won’t need one). Not too worried about Klay until Kerr or the players say something. He is very durable. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:27am On Jun 03, 2018 |
Ovyyyyyyy scores!!!!!!! He scores from the left as usual with the scramble shot. This is destiny and he will not be denied. 14th goal of the playoffs for Ovy. If the Caps learn to win at home, then this series will end quicker than anticipated. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:46am On Jun 03, 2018 |
Exceptional goaltending by M. A Fluery is the only reason why the Knights are still in this game. |

Kutnezkov skates right and shoots left in a 3 man rush to score for the Caps during the power play. Come on capsssss 0-2 Caps |
