Referees smoked mega crack and gave the Hornets 4 points for making a shot when they play wasn't even live.

They blew the play dead. Then counted the basket that was made 3 seconds after they already blew the play dead. AND gave a Tech foul on Garland for stepping on the floor during a dead ball.

That was the worst call this season, by far. 7 or 8 ticky tack calls do not mean reward a team 4 points for a missed shot 5 seconds after the whistle... Like wut lol


They weren't ticky tack. Refs had a clear agenda against Charlotte from the beginning, I've seen it before. Watch the whole game and see
I did... What agenda awards 4 points on a missed shot 5 seconds after the whistle? There's no mental gymnastics that can be performed to make any call be worse than that...

We don't need to. And quite frankly, I'm not going to waste my time trying to explain to you the severity of the favoritism of calls that Charlotte got tonight compared to Cleveland. Those 7 or 8 calls you claim are favorable are all at least arguable, they aren't worthy of being on sports center. Charlotte had four points in the final box score from a call that might go down as one of the worst of this entire season. Hell, it's one of the worst calls I've seen in my 22 years of watching basketball. You cannot sit here and complain about the officiating. Again, it's the only reason you had a chance in this game.


lol

they are not arguable

they are just like the tweet above ^^^^

If that's the best example you have, then I have some calls apart from the 4 point tech that went Charlottes way that I'm sure you'd LOVE to admit weren't the right calls, right?

...right?

You are talking about one play in a sea of terrible calls going the other way

Nobody is debating that it was a bad call, but that doesn't excuse the horrific officiating against Charlotte the entire game that put us in this mess

So there's some context that needs to be made here. The basket counted because Ed Davis touched the shooter after the play was already dead. It's honestly one of the worst calls I've ever seen.

You sure about that?

You give me those calls that all can add up to being enough to make up for one of the worst calls I've ever seen and then we can talk. Until then, you have no room to complain about what happened tonight.

okoro was bear hugging Hayward on the rebound then he gets a non shooting shooting foul to win the game.
its ok, we're used to getting scammed lately


Lately? We get scammed all the time, nothing new


Your team literally got 4 free points for what happened during a dead ball and your complaining about Hayward not getting a offensive rebound....after there was at least 4 shooting fouls called in favor of LaMelo where nobody even touched him the 1st half..

I might need to buy this Cavs/Hornets game to watch it, seems to be a lot of questionable calls being discussed for both sides, but I can't imagine the whining we'd get from Cavs fans if they'd lost if this is how much they whine when they win

And your team got 2 free points for what happened at the end of the game, so? Do you want me to find other examples?

I'm glad the NBA doesn't get a dime of my money


i didn't know you guys get regularly screwed by the refs but i have no doubt it's true. as a fellow outlier team we've been in the same boat forever. sucks.
