The league screwed the Jazz tonight like they did us last night. Some very very very bad calls. Ref's review it, see plain as day they weere wrong.......AND DONT CHANGE THE CALL!!! Mitchell and Booker more alike than we knew, they tossed him in overtime. WOW!

The angle of the replay on that offensive foul on Mitchell doesnt really show anything of use. Needs to start earlier in the play and be from closer to the baseline. Coulda been a Simmons foul but wouldnt be the 1st (or 10000th) time that an offensivr player hooked the defender's arm to get a call. Maybe there were better replays in the broadcast but this one doesnt really say much either way.

TJ also had 4 rebounds. Imagine he got 6 more? Of all people to come that close to a quadruple double

Kings are pretty pathetic. Blew an 8 point lead with a minute remaining to Hornets and lost. And now tied with the Lakers without Lebron placing. I could see Walton getting fired after tonight.

Harrell misses a game winner from 5 inches away, great for our seeding.

I love seeing Trez and Kuz fail.

Utah complaints are hilarious.

Lol Warriors loss.

Outstanding night to be a Suns fan.

Craziest part of the performance was ZERO fouls.

Ten steals and zero fouls.

90s refs would hold their whistle but today every ref seems butthurt and blows the whistle over minor incidents. Players are gonna get upset in a heat of the moment can you blame them? Just wait until a star player is ejected in a playoff game, boy will that be hilarious and saddening at the same time.

I don’t understand how NBA refs are never ever held accountable. Seriously, it’s the easiest **** job in the world because you could **** up notoriously and there’s zero consequences.

It’s one thing to miss a call but to miss a whole bunch of obvious calls and then punish the player who was the victim of those calls?

There’s not one good reason as to why NBA refs shouldn’t be fined for their actions the same way players are.

Makes you miss the Donaghy days. Vegas had more integrity, apparently.

Always factor in what is best for the NBA financially.

If the **** up benefits the NBA financially, it's not a **** up. Philly and LA are 2 of the 3 cashcow markets. Utah and Phoenix are not.

Remember what David Stern answered when asked what his preferred NBA Finals matchup is, "Lakers vs. Lakers".

EDIT: That's Shaq if you didn't know. Didn't realize they didn't say who it was.

"Mason Plumlee and Dennis Smith Jr become the 10th duo in NBA history to post a triple-double in the same game. 14/10/10 and 10/10/10 respectively."

Everyone saw that coming right? If any duo was gonna do it, I'd expect it to be them.

This would be a HUGE pickup, especially for Charlotte...I mean Boston too given they are closer to contending, but it would be interesting to see in Charlotte. He could really spread the floor for Charlotte and their guards...in Boston he also would be a nice secondary distributor. Ball movement in Charlotte with him, Ball, Rozier and Graham would be nice. Charlotte is really only lacking a big with Zeller as the starter. I thought they might go after Horford but this makes far more sense.

The Celtics and Hornets are among teams interested in Magic two-time All-Star Nikola Vucevic, sources said. Rival teams expect that any haul for Vucevic would have to be massive. The 7-foot big man is having his best NBA season, averaging 24.5 points, 11.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists while shooting 41.8 percent from 3-point range. Vucevic has spent nine of his 10 NBA seasons in Orlando.

Vuc looks like the big prize this deadline. Orlando is going to ask for a big package so curious is Ainge is willing to pony up the cost. It's probably something like Robert Williams, 2 firsts and maybe someone like Romeo Langford.

Would that be enough? He's got 2 more years left. Have to think other teams can offer more.

Maybe not. Just spitballing what a package might look like. I think some people will be surprised how big of a package they get for Vuc if they actually trade him. Underrated player.
