which call was the worst, Paul's first foul? The Reggie Evans play? or the Blake flop?

shame they took this away, fantastic play from Gordy
 
I missed the beginning of the game. It sounded like the announcers were talking about something Millsap said about the refs and playing Griffin. Anyone catch it?
 
Especially when the Jazz's play (and poor coaching decisions, such as playing two PGs for a full 7 minutes, especially after one of those PGs had had a mild injury) were bigger factors in the Jazz's loss.

And on the Millsap charge, he initiated significant contact. Weak call, but Millsap needs to be more aware of where his defender is.

No, that's not true. The Jazz played better, except for the calls.

Refs rewarded the flop, which is unfortunate, especially at the end of the game against the home team.
The other 4 examples were indeed more outstandingly terrible calls.

Like has been said before he started falling before there was any contact and it was an easy sell for Griffin because he knew Millsap was going to be aggressive (as he should be).

Also on PTI they showed Griffin's block saying how great his dunks are and now he's showing how he can get highlight blocks. Nevermind the fact he grabbed the rim and goaltended (not that he needed to grab it to get the block but still a goaltend).

On the replay, it was clear that Griffin anticipated and started falling backwards before the contact. That is a FLOP!!
 
Thanks for sharing Prodigy.

If there's one thing that can make my blood boil like clockwork it's NBA refs making crappy calls. Millsap hasn't gotten a call in his entire career, and the ref who called the goaltending on Hayward was just anticipating.

The refs who are theatrical and try to make themselves a presence in the game need to be removed from the game immediately. Since I doubt Stern will fire them for that, the most practical thing I can think of is paralysis. So I'll be praying really hard to god for them to fall down some stairs, suffer a skiing accident, try their hand at bull-riding or something along those lines. Since I'm a good guy, I'll ask that they don't die (that'd be over the line).
 
Can we blame the refs on being outrebounded by double digits, being outhustled, and shooting 1-11 in 3-pointers for most of the game too?
 
I was at the game so at times it's hard to see truly how bad a call was, but man... some really bad call here.

With that said, Thriller is right. Rebounding (just like last night) absolutely killed us.
