ZoomSlowik Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) One thing that's kind of funny to me: no one seems to question the quality of the Thunder's role players. Frankly, I think they're nearly as bad as that of the Heat, Harden just comes off the bench so it doesn't always look that way. They only play about 8 most games, and one of them is Derek Fisher's corpse. They play 2 1/2 on 5 offensively with their starting lineup since Thabo and Perkins aren't really threats and Ibaka is basically a finisher/occasional jump-shooter. At least Chalmers and Battier can hit jumpers. They could really use a legit backup perimeter player or two that can actually hit shots (besides Harden because he plays starter-minutes).

Soxbadger Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 15, 2012 -> 10:47 AM) And here's another article on Yahoo saying that the call didn't matter, LeBron beat Durant, series tied. Here's another article written that says a no-call was the right decison and questions the Battier blocking foul. So there are a bunch of articles discussing the impact on reffing, and youre conclusion is it is only a Soxtalk phenomenon? Zoom, Its a different dynamic. But its criminal to have Fischer taking shots away from good players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have Durant, Westbrook, and Harden on the floor, and you're going to try to drive on LBJ? GENIUS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and the rest of the crybabies in here chased off one of the best posters (felix) this board has ever seen. Why? Because he chose not to suck Rose's cock and recognize this is the NBA thread and not the Bulls thread aka Rose is so amazing because he's humble aka the refs are the reason the bulls ever lose aka LeBron should never see the ft line and if he does its a conspiracy garbage.

Last nights game lead to people discussing the referees, some people dont think it was a big deal, other people do. But to try and insinuate somehow Soxtalk does it more than a common fan is ludicrous and not supported by fact.

Steve9347 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) The big Minnesota Twins message board has a forum for sports. They don't have an NBA thread, but they do have a Timberwolves AND a Kevin Love thread. I think Soxtalk does a good job talking about the other teams. However 98% of us are Bulls fans, and we had the best record 2 years running and a 23 year old who won MVP. We lost our collective minds. Get over it, J4L. It's not like your Knicks analysis was spot on and incredible. You're not some NBA genius shining light on the stupidity of this Bulls fan base, as much as you clearly want to be.

My point was that if the roles were reversed last night, the talk today would only be about LeBron choking again, not about a no-call. But because the game ended in Miami's favor, it's automatically time to b**** about the refs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night wasn't so bad but I would love to see OKC get the same calls Miami did last night. It's that bulls***, unspoken favoritism for superstars. But it's not applied across the board evenly (Durant, Rose, etc.) Seriously, if people don't think the refs are given a nudge, nudge, wink wink, "we'd prefer a 6-7 game series" from NBA execs, they're delusional. There are WAY too many judgment calls in a game that can change the pacing and thereby change the result. Last night Durant got 2 ticky tack fouls on him in the first quarter. Not surprisingly, the Heat got out to a big lead. Those same fouls aren't called at all in the 3rd and 4th. I actually started to watch MJ's flu game last night and the same thing happened to Jeff Hornacek. Two fouls in about 4 trips down the court. Changed the course of the game. Man though, they used to FOUL back in the day. You basically had to tackle someone to be called for something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
