Around the NBA (and other Sports), 2023-24, Part 3

[BRUNiNHO91]

Indy got hosed by the refs, still would have been anyone's game but refs put the thumb on the scale

Even the less talked about one when nice with got called for a kick ball when he hid it with his hands..

Two crunch time calls that the referees missed

That was huge because Donte hit a 3 right after. Indiana got hosed pretty hard.

[Shak_Celts]

pacers kept coughing the lead away long before that bs call, think hali gave it up twice to close it.

[Ben-N1ce]

The fix is in. NBA wants New York at all costs to be in the ECF. So be it

They made bad calls both ways down the stretch. This was more of the refs just sucking than a rig job lol

Unacceptable to call a moving screen at that time when it occurs 30+ times a game. That was trash.

[Triple7]

Haliburton is the biggest fraud. 6pts????
He scored 10, and they win comfortably. Didn’t looked to score at all, and him wanting to pass the ball as soon as he gets them, led to turnovers. Brunson is a beast.

[lon3lytoaster]

lmfao haliburton **** sucks bro. this dude cant handle big moments at all

Couple of guys on here had major hard ons for the dude. Imagine if Brown or Tatum have a game like this…oof.

Can only imagine. He put on a defensive masterclass and still got roasted for only averaging 20/10.

[Shak_Celts]

ooh wee the wolves giving playoff fouls. they came to play. need denver to win and a 7 game series.

Yup hali is the reason they lost. If TJ was left inside, they probably have won this game. He was pesky with Brunson all game.

One of the worst officiated games (esp in clutch time) all season, and what's worse, is that it was in game 1 of a Conference Semi Final.

Anyhow I am happy regardless, Knicks won't cause us many problems, provided we defend Brunson properly..

[KillahGhostface]

The whistle that everyone said Embiid gets, well Brunson has gotten an equal one since the playoffs started.

Prime Harden. Brunson is really good but gets a ton of help from the refs. Knicks were allowed to maul the Indy guards all game. Breathe on Brunson, it’s a foul

We probably won’t get calls on our favor if we face the knicks, so better blow them out for 4 straight games instead. Must not let the refs be a factor.

I think we match up much better with the nuggets. Their only advantage is they are the defending champs, and has thr best player in the world. Their bench is just awful. Hoping OKC beats the winner of these two.

The first couple minutes of this game just shows you how much of a reffing problem the NBA has. What is a foul? What is not? Lack of consistency in the playoffs is a bad product

[playa-hater]

Wow what the **** was mike malone thinki If he actually got kicked out that is.. And to me there's no way he shouldn't be kicked out.

They don’t call the game by what they see, they call the game based on the name on the back of the jersey. That’s why it’s so inconsistent

Can’t wait to hopefully see Marc Davis in the ECF and subsequently get ****

[Celts17Pride]

No tech for a coach coming out on the court and getting right in the face of the ref yelling. Ok.

[Mr_Mojo_Risin]

No way Marc Davis shows restraint if that's Boston, refs are so inconsistent.

I liked that. Worst case he gets kicked out. He has assistants.

Marc Davis would send Tatum straight to federal prison for waving him off or shaking his head .
