Kenny and Charles call it! Blazers will be in the NBA Finals!

[Propagandist]

Refs come over to the national broadcast to explain complicated calls. Happens all the time

I don't like it.

 

[Hoopguru]

I don't like it.

Silver probably wants more interaction with TV and Refs, as a pr stunt.

It might happen but they usually don't televise it.

I was absolutely astonished.... I guess I don't know myself well enough to know why it bothers me, but it really does.

 

[CupWizier]

I have never seen that at all.
I wonder if @ThePosterFormerlyKnownAsTheHCP could enlighten us on this?
Maybe @SlyPokerDog ?

I have seen it done a few times recentky. i assume the broadcaster has requested that info given to them so that they can explain it to their audience Part of the way to make things more interactive i guess.

Yes they do. The NBA even wants it televised

Really? I honestly did not know that. I'm gonna have to pay more attention in the future.

If you really only watch the Blazers, like me, then up until recently, these opportunities were far and few between to observe and I think that's why most of us think this is new. Its the first time I've seen it and I was blown away. Explanations should go to coaches and team captains and that's it, right?

I fully believe Silver wants the interaction and I don't actually think its all bad the more I think about it. Refs are in a no win situation of a career. Rarely, to never, getting praised for the right call, but always slammed for the bad calls, and no one is perfect.

This give them and the NBA an opportunity to expand the knowledge of what and why, to the casual fans that may have ill perceived the situation and thus, blame the ref.

What I didn't care for was that it was Miller. I cant stand his nasally voice and how he repeats the same words over and over when he gets excited.

Ohhhh He be hot. He be hot.

He be hot.


STFU......

So for the ref to go to him made me wanna vomit

I do watch other games but those games are not the Blazers so i cannot say my interest is the same. Yesterday watching the GS vs Denver game i was at the three card poker table at Ilani so you can suspect i was not really up to speed on what the refs were doing. Most certainly was not listening to a commentator.

Did you win me some money???!~!!!

 

[Hobbesarable]

Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley just predicted on TNT that the Blazers will go to the NBA finals.

Passin' around the moonshine and makin' predictions. Awesome!

 

[kjironman1]

I left about $400 there for you.

Moonshine laced with qualudes. I have drinks and don't get that delirious.

HaHA.

That's okay. Wife and I are in Vegas two weeks from now. I'm sure I will contribute to the cause.

My Vegas trip is in December. If you have not seen Chris Angel you probably should. Also I would go see the Blue man group again if you have not seen them in the Lexor. The new venue is pretty cool.

Who is chris angel? Magician?

Yes Chris Angel is a magician. Will blow your mind.
That helicopter tour is freaking awesome. You will not be disappointed. Also great food Galiger’s but it’s speedy. I usually do one really good meal a day and snack the rest of the time. They can get you for quite a bit if you don’t watch out?

Jeff VanGundy was talking last night that Bob Weiss, assistant coach for the Nugs, is quite an accomplished magician and could easily go on tour. Always interesting to hear about special skills people have in different fields.

We stayed at the aria for our wedding and i asked for a room with a fridge. It came orestocked with nothing i wanted and we couldnt pull anything out or we got charges. One of the biggest hotel scams ive seen. I paid extra for a room with a fridge. Whats up with that @bodyman5000 and 1 you greedy fuckers down there! Lol

 

[Phatguysrule]

This sucks. Barkley has been labeled as someone who knows nothing about the sport by most on here because he used to say we would never win anything because we were a jump shooting team.

So what's it going to be?

Is he smart all of a sudden?

He was usually right about us before though...

Hahahaha. Thanks for keeping someone in town employed. I might have even fixed a car you paid a tiny portion of.
