This cHeat-Bulls game is bananas!

The refs are getting paid big time! They must be going to South Beach after the game...

Choke fest.. That ending sucked. Rose choked at the line and on a gimme with 5 seconds left. Lebron choked, chalmers choked, Boozer almost gave it away calling for a timeout, the refs choked, bla bla bla.. awful ending.

At least Orlando got **** on again. Some of the crowd even booed him during intros.

Wow, what happened to Dallas?

Wasn't it just 51 to 67 literally 5 minutes ago?!

Well, Dirk is 3-9 w/ 6pts.

I guess he's waiting for the post-season to turn it on :wink:

And the Mavs comeback. That game is full of runs.

This game delivers.

Man... I really liked Danny Green since college... had said year after year we should have taken a chance on this kid every time he was a free agent available for minimum.

San An always seems to sign or draft these guys that are so obvious yet the rest of the league's FO's and scouts just thumb their noses at.

The blatant bias the refs show the Clippers is disgusting.

Having played basketball at the community college level and being a white guy, I know a lot about the game and its basic fundamentals. I played all the way back in the mid-90's and I can tell you that a lot of basic fundamentals have been thrown out by the younger generation and part of the problem is coaches aren't teaching them anymore.

Unintentional racist moment of the night?

You make the call. :lol:

I admittedly didn't see the game but I'm having a hard time believing that.

OKC 17fouls 23fta 48.7% 15ast 17to
LAC 17fouls 15fta 56.3% 28ast 12to

Doesn't look like the Clippers were given special treatment looking at those numbers. The Clippers top 2 scores Paul/Butler didn't shoot a single free throw while every Thunder starter did. Looks like the Clippers just outplayed them.

If you can point out more than five plays that favored the Clippers(assuming the Clippers were on the end of zero bad calls), you could maybe make a case. Refs can't make the Thunder shoot 8% less and have 13 fewer assists though.

Some dude on the Portland board in their game thread, I saw it skimming for Batum stuff.

I didn't watch the game either, but that's a really flawed way of looking at ref bias.

The refs can absolutely make a team shoot worse and get fewer assists, it's called not calling fouls. If someone gets hacked and shoots a bad shot, and the refs don't call it, that would lower percentages, and if someone passed the person the ball right before, it would prevent an assist. The Clippers ALWAYS get the benefit of the doubt, and all it takes is for Griffin to foul himself, or Paul to flop like he got hit by freight train, or Billups to flop...like he got hit by a freight train...damn, that team has the most shameless floppers in the world.

And maybe the Thunder attacked the rim, and kind of forced the officials to call more fouls for them. Durant and Westbrook are two of the most aggressive players in the league, they always attack the rim. Doesn't mean that the refs didn't favor the Clippers. A lot of times, Griffin doesn't get fouled, but the refs bail him out, because he flops, or he looks at them really mad and starts crying.

With that said, I'm not saying that Durant and Westbrook don't flop and don't get bail out calls. They do, but it's not nearly as bad as the Clippers with Blake, Paul, and Billups. They're just shameless. Durant and Westbrook don't depend on refs giving them special treatment.

Milwaukee is up 16 suddenly against the Heat with a couple of minutes left in the 4th. Would've been nice if they lost, for playoff implications.

I thought Bron Bron was tearing them up? What happened?

There's no way Dirk is much better after 1 week of rest.

In three games back since his layoff including tonight, he's had 10 pts, 10 pts, and 8pts and has shot 0/11 for 3pt. Tonight he shot 2/15 FG and 0/5 for 3pt.

I'm not even hating on the dude. I really hope he gets better and it's not something that lingers for the rest of the season.
