Game Thread: Orlando 4pm (Pacific) on NBATV

These refs are just terrible. Half those fouls arn't even close. You would think they would try to make it at least look like a foul before calling them. What a joke these refs are!!!

 

[B-Roy]

If outlaw shoots and misses people get mad, if he doesnt shoot and pass people get mad...

I don't think anyone cares if Outlaw misses a few wide open shots. But when he doesn't shoot and trys to step in or pass it out, it's just frustrating, because Outlaw CAN shoot.

Ref's didn't call bullshit fouls on Joel. Notice that when Joel was in the game during the 2nd quarter for a significant amount of time, we were able to build a lead. Joel goes out, boom, lead's gone.

Sometimes I think coaches overeact to the number of fouls. If Joel has 3, you know, I'd keep him in there. There's no reason to take someone out if we're just going to get crushed after he comes out.

Umm, yeah they did.

But Outlaw had a great play a few minutes ago where he passed up the three, drove, dished to Roy who dished to LMA for the dunk.

 

[MAS RipCity]

wow no T on dwight? this is why i hate the nba

 

[KingSpeed]

We have to be careful. This could slip away right here.

 

[MAS RipCity]

dwights out go to the hoop

 

[noknobs]

We just refuse to go inside, all except Roy. What a bunch of pansy-asses.

 

[KingSpeed]

uh oh here we go

 

[KingSpeed]

at least we're in the bonus

 

[B-Roy]

Stagnant offense ftw!

 

[KingSpeed]

Fuck me. Why isn't Greg on the floor? We've waited way too fucking long!!!

 

[MAS RipCity]

It won't happen, but I'd put in Bayless to finish the quarter with no dwight in there, I think he could get to the hoop

 

[B-Roy]

Umm, yeah they did.

They didn't call bs fouls on Joel last year. At least not this much.

 

[KingSpeed]

I think this is a fine time to give it to Outlaw and get out of the way. Let him create his own shot and get us back into this. It would be better than what we've been getting.

 

[MAS RipCity]

NO MAS Channing!

 

[KingSpeed]

this sucks

 

[dpc]

This dosn't really suck. We are down two at Orlando in the third. Could be worse. I thought it would be worse

 

[KingSpeed]

we need to win on the fucking road!!!

 

[MAS RipCity]

This group is horrible out there, no cohesiveness at all

 

[KingSpeed]

36 pts in the first quarter

34 since

 

[MAS RipCity]

Ok my new found liking of Sergio is waning, pass the ball dude

 

[KingSpeed]

we need to go to Outlaw more

 

[KingSpeed]

missed our last 10 shots

 

[MAS RipCity]

ok play Joel the rest of the game, theres only 12 mins to go

 

[B-Roy]

we need to go to Outlaw more

No we don't. He's stepping in and shooting closer but worse shots.....and missing.

 

[Tortimer]

ok play Joel the rest of the game, theres only 12 mins to go

The way they are calling fouls on Joel he won't last 2 minutes.

 

[alex42083]

Man.. just turned on the game. Our offense looks pretty putrid. No one can buy a basket.

 

[MAS RipCity]

Step 1 to winning this game: Do not get into quick foul trouble like we did at Utah

 

[KingSpeed]

No we don't. He's stepping in and shooting closer but worse shots.....and missing.

He needs to stop doing that. He needs to go to his dribble, rise up, knock it down move.
