I have no words to describe the atrocity that the refs turned this game into.

And with all that help the Lakers can only win by 4. At home.
 
We probably deserved to win that game, but honestly, the refs did us a favor.

We are now picking 12th, which means we own our pick. Probably good in the long run if they're going to go tank mode.
 
34 FTs to 12

28 fouls to 14, and LMA got his 5th in the 3rd quarter on an absolutely bullshit call.

Stern the Hobbit isn't even trying to hide his bias anymore.

Fuck that noise. We were gonna lose plenty more games legitimately. THIS ONE shouldn't have been one of them.
 
This is one of those games that make it really hard to remain an NBA fan.
 
I really do want to love NBA again. But sometimes its like WWF... without the boobs though

Yeah, it's just the way it happened. Losing a close game that is even is fine, but losing a close game that is decided by the refs, and blatantly, makes me wonder what it even matters, anyhow. Teams like Portland are never going to get calls unless they luck into a superstar like a Kevin Durant or an MVP like Tim Duncan.
 
Holy shit, MB says the Nic three was called a three, then changed to a two, then reviewed. FUCK!
 
I have to say it was the second worst ref'd game I have ever seen.

Sacto/Lakers Game 6 is the worst one I ever saw. This is probably second because of a replay that was blown, the ticky-tack fouls on the Blazers, and Lillard getting slapped on the head at the end of the game.
 
Pinwheel empire, if you're here, can you please make a video of the bad calls? I will tweet it out to every sports reporter I follow. The world needs to be aware of how egregious the reffing was tongiht.
 
I'm not even mad about the loss.

Just sometimes with officiating it really bothers me when you can predict which way a call is going to go based on the consistency of the calls throughout the game especially for a home team or vs Lakers. Tonight was easily the worst officiated game of the year but oh well... more ping pong balls.
 
LMA didn't help -- Most of his attempts were fadeaways from the 6'7" Ron Artest.

Soft!

It's true. Better hope Lillard gets there, that's about all you can do.

In any case, being the 13th or 14th worst team would be just about the worst thing that could happen. Miss the playoffs and also lose your pick. There is a silver lining in all of this.

I'll be sending him the Wheels call for eactly that reason. I hope he does a supercut of shitty calls.

He said 2 of the refs called it a 3 initially. But then one of them overturned it and said it was a 2. :rant:
