Refs don't play well enough for OKC to beat a short-handed Phoenix team.
 
Perfect example of what I was bitching about a few nights ago. Was it Wesley who got called for the foul when slapping at the ball (A foot from the ground) and the player goes through with the shooting motion and gets all three fouls shots?

Tonight OKC got screwed. Westbrook actually was in the act of shooting at mid court (As he knew the foul was coming) and only got two shots. There is absolutely no consistency with this call. OKC could have tied the game with 9 seconds to go. Why did they not at least look at the replay? Is that not an option? Either way, the refs have no clue how to call this.

There was no way they were going to give that call to Westbrook, and 9 times out of 10 you're not going to get 3 free throws for tossing the ball toward the hoop from half court.

So what is the reason? What is the rule? Intent? Neither one of them (Ellis or Westbrook) was going to shoot that ball until the fouled occured. This is not an isolated issue. It happens everynight, and I don't think the players understand the rule, and by the inconsistency of the refs, neither do they. Is there a certain distance from the basket that they refuse to call it?

To be honest, I have no idea.

It's just one of those rules, where the conditions change on a nightly basis.

I remember seeing a game where Chris Paul did this near the half court line and the refs gave him 3 free throws. I was in disbelief.
 
Nah he'll be ok, the luster and ire of the event won't be the same in the future. As time passes everyone will just move on.
 
Griffin - 22pts/10reb/7asts

Love only gets 2 offensive rebounds and scores 12pts. Hmm.
 
houston is coming strong. had the clips started out better.... they might be a playoff team.
 
The talk show's in Los Angeles all day were debating Love (UCLA) or Griffin for the allstar game. No one brought up how both teams suck and neither may make it.

lol, you always give these one game comparisons like they mean something.

Earlier this year against the Lakers, Love had 23pts, 24 rebs, 5 asts compared to Gasol's 18pts and 10 rebs.

Then against the Spurs he put up 32pts and 22 rebs while Duncan got 9pts and 13rebs.

If were going to play the head-to-head game, then put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Every player is prone to an off night. Love battles for rebounds on a nightly basis and he just played 3 games in 4 days. He still got a double-double in one of his worst games of the season.
 
How huge of a addition has Tyson Chandler been? His defense has been awesome so far.

DRtg: 98
 
I know the lakers will come back and will win, but how can the Bucks team we saw last night lead LA in the 4th?

Well to answer my own question........Earl Boykins. The Lakers still have no quickness at the PG position.
Bucks taking it to the Lakers down the stretch. Went from 4 pts to 20. Then Kobe gets tossed.

Anyone else watch the Kings blow what I believe was a 7 point lead with 13 seconds to go? Some of the dumbest basketball I have seen in some time.

Also, after shitcanning it so much last night, Skiles lit a fire under them. You often see a strong effort after mailing in a game. These players are competitors and they have pride.

You might be able to DVR it on replay.

The ending is classic. The Kings are trying to milk the clock and Garcia tries a 3 with 12 seconds left on the shot clock. They foul twice that results in 3 free throws for the Warriors. Cousins bobbles a rebound after a missed FT that gives the Warriors the ball back with 2 on the clock. Radmon hits a three to send it into overtime.

Lakers were also coming off a long road trip.

Absolutely that had something to do with it. That being said, the talent differential is so massive between the two teams even if the L*kers play like crap, MIL has to play out of its mind to compete.

Good for the Bucks. They've been hit hard by injury and this win salvages their road trip.

Just finished watching the game.... crazy thing is, GState missed 6 free throws in the last minute and OT and still won!
 
Well it does confirm one thing we all know, it only takes one guy to get hot in the 4th to beat you. Even if the guy is 5'5".
No matter how depleted your bench is. Boykins hit some big shots against the Lakers.
 
Love with 21/17 through three quarters. Pups up by 12 on the Jazz going into the 4th quarter. Of course, as we know, a double digit lead on the Jazz going into the 4th quarter doesn't mean much.

Yeah, I'm watching the game. Love is owning Millsap.

Yes, Boob, you're right. That lead doesn't mean much, especially with this Wolves team that always blows late leads.

It is just one game, but this is because Phil insists on using Fisher in spite of his awful defense.

Are you a Minnesota fan these days? Seriously, I think that you are. Am I wrong?

I didn't watch the game, but Millsap ended 10-16 for 23 points while Love was 7-20 for 25 in yet another loss dropping the Wolves to 6-24. KL played 40 minutes to PM's 31, and had 19 boards 2 assts 0 stls 0 blks... Millsap had 11 boards 4 assts 3 stls 1 block. The stats and game results sure don't reflect ownage especially when you consider that the Jazz not only won but out-rebounded the Pups
