GT #59: Wizards @ Raptors 7:30 PM (CSN/1500 AM)

Rape of the Sabine Women?

Now that you mention it, ZaZa was kinda channeling 'The Flopping Gaul' the other day after crashing into Durant's knee too.

Spoiler:

In terms of pure weight, which head - ZaZa's or this solid marble statue's - do you think is heavier?

Am I reading that right? This season the Refs have made 21 bad calls in the final 2 minutes at the Phone Booth(or at least the NBA has acknowledged 21 bad calls) and all of them have gone the way of the road team. I've often asked "wheres the home court advantage" when a ref makes a, imo, bad call that goes the other teams way. I always figured it was my bias as a Wizards fan that made it seem lopsided in favor of the other team, but now I'm not so sure...

Even the article is dissing the Wizards

The home-court winner: the Detroit Pistons. The loser: the Utah Jazz. But the spoils or costs of these missed calls aren’t obvious. The Pistons currently sit with a 29-32 record, smack in the middle of the Eastern Conference standings, while the Jazz sport a healthy 37-24 record, good for fourth in the West.

Uh, hello? The Wizards are by far the biggest loser according to this statistic trailing Utah by an astounding 35%, but perhaps they concluded that it wasn't statistically relevant since the Wizards are one of the best home teams this season.

Not surprising at all. Wizards get the less amount of love from the ref's in the NBA. So many tick tack fouls called on our stars while the road team gets calls every time they miss at the rim.

I think they are putting the Jazz first because they had the largest amount of bad calls go against them. 34 to the Wizards 29. But the Wizards should be the biggest loser because they only have one bad call go in their favor.
