okoro was bear hugging Hayward on the rebound then he gets a non shooting shooting foul to win the game.
its ok, we're used to getting scammed lately


I don't care. You got three points off of one of the worst calls that have been made this entire season. Don't complain. You have no right to.


Ed Davis made a stupid play to touch our player from the bench, literally not comparable to the scam that just cost the whole game lol. like I said, we're used to this BS, happens every time

That was a bad call, but Cleveland had 7 or 8 very favorable calls of the course of the game compared to that one

This was a no-win game. Either him or Austin Carr. Literally pick your poison.

Id rather listen to Austin Carr tbh. At least he knows actual basketball

These refs need to be accountable. With that said who the idiot that decided that can't automatically review plays under two minutes. I get it it prolonged the game but the sensible thing was just hire another ref, eye in sky, NY to review the video and phone it in.

I have to give these Charlotte commentators a LOT of credit. They are very unbiased and at least acknowledge when their team gets favorable calls. Even that tech call that gave the Hornets four points was harshly criticized by them.

I will admit this: I personally don't think that foul on Kevin Love was a shooting foul. He didn't deserve to go to the line. I don't care though. That tech was one of the worst calls I've ever seen. This doesn't come anywhere close to being as bad, but it at least rewrote the wrong here and gave Cleveland the win they rightfully deserve.

Yeah, AFTER THE WHISTLE WAS BLOWN. The rules clearly state that when contact is made during play from a player on the bench, the shooter is automatically awarded points. Ed Davis touched the player well after a foul was already called and the play was dead.

Do not try to sit here and tell me that the foul on Love was anywhere close to being comparable to that tech.

that bearhug on Hayward was really disappointing. I knew we wouldn't get a call like that but the absolute atrocity of that "shooting" foul on Love.
disappointing, not surprising.

That was the worst call this season, by far. 7 or 8 ticky tack calls do not mean reward a team 4 points for a missed shot 5 seconds after the whistle... Like wut lol

You're correct that two calls aren't comparable. You 100% wrong as to why.

There are four points in the Hornets column that shouldn't be there. The whistle blew a good three seconds before that three point attempt. It's not arguable as to whether the officials were completely and totally wrong.

Love was gathering on the foul by Rozier.

They weren't ticky tack. Refs had a clear agenda against Charlotte from the beginning, I've seen it before. Watch the whole game and see

becoming really jaded with this league, the BS yesterday was disappointing enough, but to lose on back to back blown calls like that just is too much. we are just treated like a second class citizen in this league and kinda makes it pointless to watch.

We don't need to. And quite frankly, I'm not going to waste my time trying to explain to you the severity of the favoritism of calls that Charlotte got tonight compared to Cleveland. Those 7 or 8 calls you claim are favorable are all at least arguable, they aren't worthy of being on sports center. Charlotte had four points in the final box score from a call that might go down as one of the worst of this entire season. Hell, it's one of the worst calls I've seen in my 22 years of watching basketball. You cannot sit here and complain about the officiating. Again, it's the only reason you had a chance in this game.

Stop being a homer. You didn't deserve to even be leading before that final call that gave Love free throws. At the very least, be man enough to admit it.

Love was not in the act of shooting when that foul occurred. I'm not going to debate that moronic take with you or anyone else lol

Hey guys, I was wondering if someone could help me. I had a pretty large in game multi bet (or parlay as the americans call it) and the last leg I needed to win $4k was Levert having 6 rebounds. I thought he got it and he was credited with an offensive tip but then they changed it to Taylor. Can anyone check the action to see if it was Levert or Taylor? 6:24 mins left in the 4th quarter. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That's a moronic take, but you trying to argue that the four point tech was the right call isn't?
