For applying the correct ruling? Take off the blinkers dude.

You see the replay. One angle is awful. The other was close but clearly coming out. Warriors had horrible turnovers and Kawhi’s heroics were crushed by Klay and Steph.


It hadn't come out yet though, hence it was the correct call.

Half of Oracle Arena emptied out before the end of Game 4, a game that could have been ths Dubs' last ever in that arena.

Raps fans tonight cheered KD's injury.

Any way we can do a late sub of Bucks vs. Blazers into these Finals? Thx

Home crowd gave only a quick reactive cheer, more for the turnover and basket than KD going down. Then the crowd turned quickly to respectful applause when the players waved them to. Not a big deal

Rewatching the highlights, there were several really questionable calls that went against the Warriors. One was the offensive interference call, one was the offensive foul call on Cousins, one was the over-and-back violation on Green. All three of those, it seems the refs were caught up in the moment.

Yup. Looks like raps fans cheered the archilles rupture of one of the best players of all time.


You’ve been waiting to say that ... you have idiots everywhere ... you have yours too as we all know... I am so deflated not because of loss but all this **** with KD... he might be out for whole next season ... look at the Cousins and how much he lost ...

OK

It was caught on video, bud

Yes it was Bud. But do you know if they were all cheering that he as hurt or maybe that toronto was on a fast break? Not everyone is a cold hearted idiot. Of course some of them cheered for the wrong reasons and that's completely wrong but to try and say its everyone is foolish.


Oh, right, probably most of them were cheering because they realized at that moment how much they were enjoying their arena snacks and beverages. And they were waving sarcastically at KD because ... other stuff. Stop embarrassing yourself. That fan base did more than enough of that already. Shameful.


Your the one making **** up I'm just saying it's reasonable to Assume not everyone is an ****. Hardly embarrassing myself for being reasonable.

But I get it your part of that recreational outrage movement who just needs a reason to be mad so they feel important. It's all good man keep it going, one day you will see how it ends. I suggest trying it not online where it's anonomus and seeing how it goes for you :)

Try again.

How many scumbags do you count there waving KD as he's hobbling off of the court? Humor me.

OfficialRef wrote:the saddest part is that he threw away his career for a crap organization.

An organization where the recruiter tells him they don't need him,calls him a bich on live tv, a gm who teases him during a championship parade, a fanbase that hates on him for being too good and taking the spotlight out of their crowd favorite player, and a team that gets frustrated for his injury. Nobody in the warriors cares/will care and thats so unfortunate.

Says the guy whose comrades gave the injury a f*cking standing ovation. This trolling is beyond pathetic. You all should be taking a vow of silence in shame for that horrendous and embarrassing display.

The GB for some reason ignores that.

The basket interference was confirmed by video review, so it's not arguable. The other 2 were correct calls, so I applaud the refs for making them, usually close calls go against the raptors.

It was essentially out of the cylinder from the other angle. Close but out. Would have probably been reversed at Oracle. Doesn’t matter now though.

Raps fans lost the loveable losers stamp. There has been a lot of arrogance and annoyingness going on. Hard to blame them tbh. I don’t think this is representative of the full fan base, but man, I didn’t want to even believe that they were cheering the injury until I looked it up later. Their own players were disgusted.

Could’ve just been a lapse in judgement during the heat of the moment, but really a bad look.

If he indeed tear his Achilles, I think you are right. They’re not going to lose game 6. It’s going to be a toss up in game 7 and naturally I will give the edge to the defending champs. Shouldn’t have let tonight slip away.

Very minor, and very misleading snippet of video. Meanwhile for decades i have read US media jokingly praising the tough Philly fans (in all sports), they booed Santa Claus, blah blah. This is nothing.
