"you were right here.....you were right here...."

[Handlogten's Heros]

My buddy who quit watching the NBA years ago pointed out to me how much refs can control a game by simply "missing" 2 calls on one end and giving 2 calls on the other end during each quarter. Over the course of the game you may not notice it so much but that can constitute a 32 point swing in a game.

It’s not even that they are intentionally doing it but the continue to reward guys and teams that exhibit foul seeking behavior. It reminds me of ambulance chasing personal injury lawyers... some are legitimate operations that protect citizens... some are looking to exploit loopholes for all they are worth... that’s fine if the main perpetrators are ancillary players like Vlade Divac... but when you give that much leeway to guys that are mvp/all star candidates it puts a magnifying glass on it and makes you look terrible. Flopping is one thing... manu did it to excentuate contact, but when you move your arms into guys and are just trying to put the issue on the officials it is another. Now guys have to play with their hands behind their backs and now you have a huge advantage.

I don’t know what happens but something should to at least stop the unnatural foul seeking.

I’m not sure whether to love this or hate it. Because it’s Donovan I’m going to love it because he’s perfect and can do no wrong.

What did he say?

What did he say?

"If that what he f-ing needs to be MVP, then f it." Something to that effect.

Disney Inc (Espn, TNT, ABC) has been talking about the Houston v Golden State and Boston Vs Lebron since last summer. They were never going to let it not happen. Did you see what antics the refs had to pull to get Boston past Milwaukee or Cleveland past Indiana?

Similarly they have been talking about Paul George to the Lakers and AD to Boston so expect that to happen soon. Then they can start looking for destinations for Gianis, and Towns.

those just the 4 best teams. Don't hate it! jazz will always be a pretender. Gobert is soft

Tough to watch Harden get away with mauling our players. That pop to Dante's head with the ball is a case in point. Gotta admit he's savvy and mega talented but I disrespect Harden's game (and Harden for being so slimy) overall. And I reserve special contempt for refs who won't call him on his BS.

golden that a jazz fan complains of slimy play. You r team is known as that. Karl Malone was a giant doucebag

Okay? Gobert ain’t soft... hasn’t been as effective as we would like... tough matchups but also we need to put more around him.

Harden and Paul are great with love and command a ton of attention. If we had guys setting the plate for Rudy like that it’d look different.

The defense has been fine... except game 3. The offense had been poop.

As long as the NBA survives off of stars and not teams this crap will go on for eternity or until people stop showing up in the stands cuz they are sick of 26 teams every year being given wwf referee treatment.

I don’t think we get a superstar, but an all star at some point and some key veterans? Fo Sho!
