    Sorry boobs. The refs were awful but chris Paul blew this one

    I like to live a life of abundance and blame both. There is a reason why I tweeted to Paul directions to walk fucking home!

    Also Bill Simmons called this shit over an hour ago.

    You can't assign these 3 guys to THIS game. You just can't. I am so disappointed.

    The lousy refs are about to ruin one team's season. Lock it down. I am assigning @Jpdabrams the Game 5 oral history right now to save time.

    Bill Simmons ‏@BillSimmons 2h
    Bennett Salvatore, Tom Washington and Tony Brothers reffing a genuinely important NBA playoff game - what could possibly go wrong?
    Again a guy who works for an NBA studio had tweeted all this after the first quarter.

    He also said Spurs-Suns 2006 game 3 was rigged immediately after. Donahue officiated that game btw.
    You put way to much stock into what Bill Simmons says.
    I'll trust the guy who works on an NBA studio show over the boner in sweatpants hiding behind his keyboard.

    I didn't know being on tv gave you credibility. So Sark is the play caller in the nation? Herbstreet said it and he covers college football. I should trust him over you by your own logic? GTFOOH.

    How is this a phantom foul?

    Funny Paul hit Curry arm a lot worse to end game 3 and you were praising him for his great defense.

    Kim Grinolds is impressed with your hypocricacy.

    The difference between great defense and terrible defense is that whistle.

    Wrong. The correct answer is "quit being a twister".

    Simmons can be very FS and he sucks on TV, but he is a big time fan and gambler. He knows the refs as well as anyone. This is one area I would consider his wheelhouse.

    Agree with all that. Nailed it really well.

    I guess RoadDawg is Bill Simmons superiority guy.

    For anybody that doesn't know shit about basketball, reading the Book of Basketball would be well worth someone's time if you wanted a "quick" education on it.

    Clippers trying to make a comeback then have back to back buckets wiped out due to questionable offensive foul calls.

    Imagine that it's a final four of Pacers-Heat and OKC-Spurs something everyone predicted back in November.

    Then throw on a clean block for Blake for his 6th ...

    In a series that has been full of bad calls, the foul on Paul for having Collison jumping on him is by far the worst.

    I'm okay with it. The Spurs would have destroyed the Clippers, but I think OKC can give them a good series with Durant and Westbrook.

    I think OKC beats the Spurs. I think it's a paper rock scissors with OKC-Spurs-Heat. I think Heat beat OKC, OKC beats Spurs, Spurs beat Heat.

    Of all the teams remaining, the team north of Texas is the only team that matches up well with the Spurs and causes them problem (youthful legs vs. experience).

    Very possible that Indiana matches up better with the 3 teams remaining than they did the first 2 teams that they played.

    Match ups didn't hurt Indiana first two series. They got in their own way. I do expect them to be at their best against Miami.

    I think they'll give Miami a fight but I don't see them overtaking the Heat.

    It's really tough to call, but I think the Spurs beat OKC. I wouldn't be surprised either way. Miami will beat Indiana. In the finals, I think the winner of the SA-OKC series will take it, but I'm not really confident either way. Miami doesn't look like a champion to me, but they are battle tested and they have LeBron so I can't count them out either.

    I really can't see OKC beating Miami in a playoff series. Miami has a player who can match Durant and actually guard him in crunch time. OKC is also the only opponent where Miami will have the edge in the bench department as well.

    OKC also has by far the worst coach of the final 4. Yes, I'm still sticking with Vogel as a good coach for now.

    Pop







    Spoelstra







    Voegel






















































    Cal
    Brooks

    Brooks and Cal are both ranked too high.

    I'm way late to the party but my take is I'm not convinced the refs rig the games, but it's not inconceivable either.
    At any rate, these guys make really good money (like way into the six digits - I think Donaghy was making 250 thousand orsomething). Shit like this just shouldn't happen.

    It's so pathetic that Either TNT or ESPN has Steve Javie as there in-game consultant guy. That guy was a f****** idiot as a ref, t'd people up over his owm ego being hurt, and was a sarcastic shithead. This is the guy a network shows as a consultant?
