Suns @ Trail Blazers - Game 4 - Game Thread

[Strike]

A lot of Suns fans whining about the reffing. To me it seemed pretty even. Granted I am a Blazer fan, but I really didn't see a bunch of calls going Portland's way in the 4th. Now Simmons tweets about it.

Do I just have rose colored glasses on? Reffing seemed fine to me. Sure some missed calls but pretty much called the same both ways. I didn't like the wrong call when Grant Hill used the off arm to clear out Andre Miller, ]Amare got babied by the officials, and I'm sure the Suns fans had some calls to gripe about too. But seemed like it was officiated fairly.

After a handful of playoff series against "my" beloved Spurs, Suns fans whining about the refs after a loss is just par for the course. They learned it from D'antoni.

nice you had way better seats than us lol. I swear you know its bad when I literally felt like I had to go to a Timbers game to hear less swearing and threats on a referees family

 

[ehizzy3]

I am not quite sure what the fuck they are talking about with the "Bad-calls". Anytime Amare was bumped they would call a block, and how many times would LMA get the same bump and not get a whistle.......

I just don't quite know what they are talking about.

There were bad calls both ways. There always are.

But there were some odd non calls that went Portland's way.

Since Portland is typically on the receiving end of that bullshit I will take the occasional time we get that benefit.

Other than the typical home court calls, the game was pretty fairly reffed. Not something i'd blame for a loss for sure.

For example, Frye's foul was not a flagrant, but neither was Bayless'. Since they called that BS a flagrant on Jerryd, they had to call it on Frye. And then calling Batum for a flagrant after Amare ran into his shoulder and he defended himself was weak sauce.
