I know every crowd does, but on every call? I disagree. I think it's desperation for anything to go their way and knowing they can't have too much slip up against the Lakers.

Ever watch a game played in Utah? Even in the regular season, every call gets a reaction. I honestly believe it helps them get better calls because of the psychological impact on the refs.

It's always been there, but I didn't realize it.
Add another flaw to Denver, and one that also relates to a lack of respectable 3PT shooting.
Yup that was an excellent point by Magic. When Kobe drives, either Fish, Lamar or Vlad are back. When Lamar drives, Kobe, Fish, are Vlad is back and so on. When JR Smith drives, AI and Keliza(for example) aren't back because they are trying to spot up and get the pass.
Part of it is low basketball IQ and part(most) of it is just pure selfishness.

Yeah it's a regularity there, but I don't know if it's from call to call like these games
