PG Suns: Refs Screw Bucks

[Isocleas2]

I know over the course of the long season there will be variance, you can't get too high or too low after any one game. What's hard though is watching them lose the same way repeatedly. It's why I'm on the fire bud bandwagon I just don't think he has it in him to make the adjustments.

Giannis appears to be ok.

I can’t be mad because that Giannis possession was too funny. Built up all that tension for that.

I am disappointed in his decision there though. Ayton was giving him the same space to shoot a pull up like it was an exhibition game. You could tell Giannis thought about it multiple times and I think the indecision is what led to him getting tripped up by Harvey the Rabbit. I just don’t think he’ll ever have confidence in his jump shot.

109-102 with 4:43 left and we let em rip off a 10-0 run in 90 seconds. This is why nobody trusts the Bucks. Also, wasn't thrilled with the sexist junk people hurled at the ref in the upper levels. I mean, you can tell them that's a trash call to decide a game (subjective) or boo (an emotional response); but the lame "go back to the WNBA" or just hurling the b and c words around as many were was not a great look, Milwaukee.

game of the year, that one hurts to lose.

Chris Paul is a great player and I still wish we had him, but Jesus Horatio was he complaining something fierce all night. Also, since I'm under 35, I always just think of Mark Jackson as the loudmouth establishmentarian/evangelical who got canned before GS took off. Dude had that many assists in his career that 'The Point God' is still behind him?

but yeah, f*** that call.

Bud is so thick skulled, he needs to go, this is another wasted season. Monty out coached him

that bums me out. Let this woman have it due to the content of her (officiating) character -- of which she was plenty deserving to hear the boo-birds -- not because of her gender!

[DrWood]

Btw Paul is still really good

you posted something correct.
Man, dogs lying down with cats kinda thing.

[DrWood]

Not sure why Tucker gets more run than Portis.

stupidity is the best explanation.

[Sigra]

terrible call. I see they talk about how everybody can hear slap. Maybe because there is not much crowd? If there was normal crowd they probably dont hear it and dont call it. But this is the Bucks so they probably do. So sick and tired of NBA

[DrWood]

We need our Paul, Beal, Booker type

One of those things is not like the others. I'll give you a hint: one is a legitimate difference maker. The other two are chuckers.

[DrWood]

Let's say hypothetically that we had somehow gotten CP instead of Jrue, would the ball had still been in Giannis' hands at the end of regulation?

Booker took the last shot for the Suns, so yes. Paul is not better than Jrue.

yes he is. you can make a case that he won't be next year since it's pretty close, but Paul is still a damn good player.

[HKPackFan]

The Chris Paul guys must be feeling pretty good tonight.... Lots of untold "I told you so!"


At least Khris was wearing his big boy pants at the end of the game, coming up with a couple of big shots, despite not being very good from 3 most of the night.

Tucker also hit a nice shot and was interesting to see how he could close out a game, until the sweat of his elbow interfered with booker.


It was overall on entertaining game with some weird NBA referee calls and non calls all game long.

Shame the refs ruined a great game.

How the bucks got a TO made no sense... Why the ref was standing and not calling over and back on CP3 until bud was screaming was ridiculous.

[Plossum]

Here’s some angles of the call:

I thought it was a foul. If it were Midds or Jrue taking that shot I’d be pissed if they don’t get that call.

[Fotis St]

Should've fire Bud in summer ,

I thought we got PJ Tucker to get Slopez minutes NOT Portis.

All I hear that we should do is "Build habits throughout the season to get ready for the playoffs" .... We have certainly built a habit ... "winning bad teams and losing from good teams" , got it

So does it not matter that he didn't release until after 0:00 because the foul occurred before expiration right?

You are correct. The bigger issue is this is never called a foul in the NBA. If they want to start calling ticky-tack contact like this a foul then it will make the end of games much less enjoyable because there is contact that can technically be called a foul on every play.

[BroncoBuck]

If you’re argument is that Booker was fouled there, then surely you must believe Khris was fouled at the end of regulation. Paul was draped on him.

Neither should have been called, but the incidental contact was. Absolute joke

[WRau1]

Great defense by Jrue on that last possession. Obviously Booker got the phantom call but Jrue locked him up.

[AussieBuck]

Bud's rotations blow.
