Cant believe they called that a 2

[demens]

Normally these asses take like 10 minutes to review a simple play, this time it took like 20 seconds to decide on a call that could not have looked any closer on the 1st replay. I have no doubt in my mind they did not even bother looking at that 2nd angle because anyone with eyes would see his foot was behind the line.

2 point game and 3 point game makes a huge difference.

Had no money on the line, just shocked how the refs could **** up a freaking replay.

[warriorfan707]

that was retarded

[BigDeem5]

Honestly, it did not matter. Portland was going to inbound it to Andre Miller. He is clutch. He makes both, Portland is up 4. Dallas would have to still heave a three... The only thing that could have happened is Portland up 4, gets fouled with the 6 seconds left and Por may cover.

[Git Lo]

these refs have been horribly these playoffs. I don't think im going to continue betting in the later rounds, if anything im gonna tail someone who is on fire and pound the Heat MLs.

[SquareDinner]

Can not believe how Portland played the clock when they were up down at the stretch. They just stopped playing. Game 2, did Dallas stop playing? NO. They played till the end. They wanted a cover and kick your butt by a long shot. When team stops playing, they are scared and is a weaker team.

Charles Barkley said there is no conspiracy theory. I thought that was funny.

[No coincidences]

I was on Portland -5, and must admit that was a blatant f\*\*k up by the blind mice.

If miller missed one of those free throws it might have come back to haunt them but it still would have been a 2 possession game

If they made the right call 1 miss would make it a 1 possession game. Not only that they had pressure on the inbound as it was, with a 2 point lead instead of a 3 it would have been even more intense. It definitely does matter. Wrong calls are made, i get it, its a fast game and human error is a part of it, but when you go review it and STILL make the wrong call that is on some other crap. Not saying anything is fixed, rather that these refs are incompetent and should not be working play-off games because in the next game it'll be a game winner.

I knew that LA jumper to beat the shot clock was late during live play, it took these guys like 5 minutes to fix that call.

[SquareDinner]

Yes I agreed. A 2 point play does not need a 3 pointer rush for Kidd and associates. They would want to drive to get the shot off and 1 or get the foul and go into overtime. At least the outcome and playbook would be different in the approach, all depending on a 3 pointers or a 2 pointers to end regulation.

[rupesh1214]

yea, you gotta hate the refs at times. That was clearly a 3 from the alternate angle.

[Ramster]

ya atleast this doesn't change the outcome of the game unlike the brutal noncall on OKC goaltending. that was downright fugly.

[face]

nba spread betting seems ridiculous sometimes, when the ends of games are so random. sitting there just hoping maverics don't foul or do something fukked up.

[rem sleep]

That was one of the worst officiating jobs I've ever seen. Some of the calls on Tyson Chandler were absolutely ridiculous. The Camby pushing down with his arm on Kidds shoulder when he jumped over him to tip the ball in was terrible.

Yeah they were hating on Chandler bad calls on Terry too I thought he was guarding Roy very well but man you should of seen the Heat game refs were trying so hard to give them a chance.

[ShogunRua]

The refs were atrocious in this game. The obvious shot clock violation...the called 2 pointer that was clearly a 3 after watching the replay...the ticky tack fouls called on Chandler to keep him on the bench. I seriously can't believe my Mavs +5.5 ticket cashed.

[LucyTheApe]

Yea i had a huge parley with Mav +6, the stupid ref almost screw me over. I was hoping Mav wouldn't foul at the end

I wholeheartedly agree with this.

Sometimes i think we are all stupid for betting on this sport because you can predict something so accurate only to have something completely random and totally out of your control happen in the last minute and cause you to lose.

Like the obvious goaltend that was ignored in the last minute of the Thunder game? Or the bullshit offensive foul on Hibbert (even after they missed a 7-step travel)?

Being on the right side is important in the NBA, because more often than not, there is a "right" side.

This is why I love teasers

I agree, the refs were bad all game. The 2 blocking fouls on Barea too, 1st where Miller got all upset and took his gum out, that might have been close at least, but the 2nd (actually it was the 3rd) was an obvious shoulder to the face of Barea 100% charge. Barea isn't a flopper either.

But that is not the point, like i said before. Bad calls were made before and they will be made again. And its not the point whether the blown call effected the end outcome, imo it did but that doesn't matter. The point is that you have replay for a reason, and thats to make the right call. Not every situation is reviewable, you gotta live with those things, But in the case where you review it and STILL get it wrong is unimaginable to me. I've seen some close ones that i didn't agree with because of my bias towards a team, but this one was not even debatable, he is clearly behind the line on the 2nd replay, even if you just think about the time it took the refs to confirm the call made it obvious they only looked at 1 angle. I've never seen such blatant misuse of the replay and complete incompetence. These refs should be fined and banned from play-off games. Again, everyone makes mistakes, but when you get a chance to fix your mistake in slow motion and still **** up then you dont deserve to be in the position to make these mistakes in the 1st place.

the reffing has been absolutely awful these playoffs. Just gotta play with it. Hasnt taken away from the fact that these games have been very entertaining.

this, each game ive bet on ive been sweating it out the last 5 minutes, but if i didnt have money on it id be enjoying the hell out of these games. blind refs equal entertaining games it seems.

[TheDane]

I thought it looked clean during live play, shit happens I guess.

[gwiz]

it's not stupid to play but as your statement implies we must control what we have control of and that is the amount of the wager.

as the casinos say "play responsibly"
