That offensive foul call on Lowry was NOWHERE near as bad as the foul call they gave Paul George against us.

It was WORSE because you can argue Lowry was the one who was actually fouled. :russ:


and then the technical on top of it was just :dead:

For as corrupt as boxing is the even if judges give fighters victories they don't deserve it never really matters.......because fight fans know what they saw & no one can take that away from them. While you can make a case Pac took the whole half of rounds off there aren't many people who truly believe Timothy Bradley defeated Manny Pacquiao.

In basketball these fukking refs have literally been deciding the outcome of games....It's truly the worse sport I've seen as far as officiating and for whatever reason it never seems to get better. I do think that Raptor/Kings game was over but at worst it should have been 105-102 or 105-103 with the Kings rock and 25 seconds left.

and Sacramento should have been up 1 in that Pacers game with the rock ready to shoot free throws after the Pacers would be foul......It just doesn't make sense.

There was a call in the Christmas day Warriors & Clippers game where they reviewed the video and still threw Blake Griffin out of the game for something he didn't participate in. It's reached the point where they might need to have open tryouts to be a ref because I'm not sure what makes some of these guys qualified for the position.

NBA refs have been and will continue to be the worst refs in sports. All of them make the game about themselves at one point or another during these games it's crazy to me and they abuse the demonstrative action technicals as well :pacspit: can't stand the god damn refs only good ones are the cats that played the game Leon Wood and Haywood Workman.



That wasn't a foul just like the PG 4 point play I'm just glad a call was made that didn't screw us this time:yeshrug:

Draw your own conclusions, I just wish the GIF ran a second or two longer. I see Lowry clearly kicking his leg out after the shot. That's an offensive foul.

San Antonio had a nice fanbase at the Verison Center vs the Wizards last night :ehh:

thought it was a home game

Opposing teams routinely have their fans at Verizon Center. I could hear Go Spurs Go chants :snoop:

There are a lot of Texans here though due to the DoD industry...

The stoop with dat dope fanny padding
So Sacre fouled out, but due to everybody else on the team being injured he was able to go back in at the cost of a technical?

To me, the lakers should have had to forfeit the game

If your able to put a player back in a game and all you have to do is give up a technical free throw to the other team, why don't teams do this in situations where their best player fouls out?

It's not usually an issue, because teams always have the rick brunsons and iron monkaveli's of the league riding the bench. But, since the Lakers had nobody eligible, and nobody healthy - they were able to bring sacre. The penalty is that if he records a foul - it's a technical as well, automatically. The problem is, if you wanted to exploit this late in the game, you COULD probably have player fake a bunch of injuries and get a star back in the game... and now that it's actually shown up in game action, I imagine it'll be repealed this offseason.
