Friday 10/31 NBA Game Thread - NBA Cup Group Play

[JRoy]

Some iffy calls tonight to the end the game.

[Pattycakes]

So crazy I didn’t realize the refs got the two game sealing blocks there. Wild stuff really.

In no world is this a jump ball. That’s an insane call to make in such a crucial moment.

Jokic is not him

I love how Laker fans are still traumatized by Jokic/Murray and the Nuggets.

I don't blame them.

pff please, we not longer care about Jokic/Denver we got LaLuka, move aside Jokic it's LaLuka's team also Reaves "is him" oh wait I forgot about the old man already GG

Call me when LaLuka and Reaves win a championship, otherwise I don't think they can be "him". Unless you put that much stock into the regular season.

Titanic over here. Jack holding onto Rose with his life.

“You jump, I jump.” That’s why it’s jump ball in that situation! It all make sense now


Sorry Jokic, your last name is not Reeves, you ain’t getting that foul call

[Johnny Tomala]

Celtics, Knicks, Lakers, Suns, Nuggets.

3/5 correct picks.

30-18 season results.

I gottta side with questionable on a couple of those calls to end the Blazer/Denver game. However, as we all know, when you play physically all night you tend to get away with more stuff in order for the game to get played consistently. And yeah, there was some ticky tack that went both ways throughout the game. A couple of those fouls on Camara were bogus...Deni should have gotten a couple more too, if we went by the book. But the refs aren't going to give Deni FTs everytime he touches the ball...

Surprising outcome, given the Blazers didn't play particularly well. Should be a fun season no matter what...well, as long players stay healthy.

[Memories]

That's a bit much man.

Is it? Because Luka literally crossed-over someone so hard they lost their shoe man. It legit happened tonight.

The first half is ok, just need to tone it down a bit on the 2nd half , keep it B-ball related

Wait…no man wife beater meaning the white tank top shirt. Not an actual wife…beater…

I can see the confusion. I should have been more clear.

I also saw a few calls earlier in the game a bit frustrating on the other end, Camara standing still falls straight back after being run over and it's a blocking call.

Blazers benefitted from the whistle late, earlier Nuggets got the benefit on a few.

[BelgradeNugget]

What a terrible reffing at the end of Nuggets Blazers game. I don't know what should be better reffs fixing game or them being incompetent.
Congress is questioning NBA rn, here is more material.

Anyway great likable team in Portland, good peaces, good future (if NBA doesn't mess it)

[The4thHorseman]

Just finished Nuggets game, what a dumb decision by Gordon. Grant was off balance with little chance of converting and AG fouls him with 1.1 seconds.

Blazers really had no business winning that game.

It would be beautiful if we stop to put so much stock on regular season, so ppl would stop to put Jokic and his only titlte on all time great lists, really sad.

There was a call in the 3rd or 4th on Bruce Brown where Shaedon Sharpe basically leans into him and they called the foul. I'll try an find the video.

Here's the video with the replay. This is just disgraceful. You contrast this to the "jump ball."

You can add "foul" Braun "comitted" that was chalenged by Denver. All in the 4th Q.
Highway robbery

[JRoy]

The fouls on Braun and Gordon were legit.

The jump ball call... turrible.

The jump ball decides the game tho

People say this but every call decides the game, if there is a mistaken call in the 2nd quarter it's just as impactful at the end. The only difference is people mostly see the final bad call, and it seems bigger because the game is ending.

Every bad call helps one team or the other period, and since every point matters eventually any points gained off them are egregious. Yep, it's more notable to see one late, but acting like a bull call that gave the Nuggets 2 points at the end of the 3rd quarter doesn't matter is ridiculous.
