Last Nights Officiating

[str8line]

At the game last night they replayed every foul on the massive Jumbotron, which they rarely used to do. Did you guys who watched on TV think that the refs got a ton of calls wrong for both sides but especially the Jazz? I'm not the type to normally worry about officiating but it seemed like last night there were really a ton of bad calls. Am I wrong?

The refs gave Alec Burks at least 10 free throws that were closer to an offensive foul if anything.

So, yes they made a lot of bad calls?

I didn't have any complaints with the officiating. Jazz just laid an egg IMHO.

This.

This loss is on the team, not the refs or the Blazers. Same with Detroit.

Booker should've been called for a foul on the play Meyers Leonard got injured, he didn't give him any space to land and I kinda think he did it on purpose.. That was the only thing I thought was bad, I don't complain about the refs much though. It is what it is -- Human error

Yeah, I saw several fouls that went against the Blazers that just were not fouls, not even close really. I can't remember specifically but I'm sure Alec was one of the main beneficiaries. At the time it seemed like most of the bad calls were against the Jazz but in looking at the board the number of personal fouls didn't look too lopsided. I seriously can't remember a game in 35 years of watching the NBA where it seemed to me the refs got so many calls wrong. At least the refs looked very uncomfortable about their calls, like no confidence that they got the calls right...but they kept on calling them.

I don't think it was dirty. Just over aggressive.

To me dirty means he meant to hurt him and I don't think he did.

He Bruce Bowened him. He knew where his foot was landing. Meyers Leonard was also talking plenty of **** in that preseason game he hit 4 3's in..

So because one player did something to hurt someone all players are that way?

Get out of here with that terrible logic. Should have been a foul IMO but it wasn't dirty.

Just because somebody landed on your foot doesn't mean you "Bruce Bowened" them. It happens all the time.

Let's not search excuses...last night the refs favored the Jazz.
