Erm, the Spurs can't keep the lead if they are losing possessions. Especially when you know, their not a great defensive team that relies heavily on it's offense. A tech + a lost 3 for Stephen Jackson is a 4 point swing. Pretty fucking big in an NBA game.


They lost 2 possestions in the 4th (one of those calls I agreed with) didnt cost them the game. Two possesions give you at most 6 points so what about the other 12.

not sure if bad logic, or good troll....


Calling someone a troll doenst make you right. There were 3 calls people yelled about in 4th. 1 was the charge on Manu which was called according to the rule so it really isnt arguable. The second is the elbow/pick by Manu which put him in foul trouble and forced them to bench him for a bit. That one is slightly more questionable but he did extend his elbows which you really cant do when setting a pick (also he was moving slightly but you can get away with that) . The third one was a terrible call but one bad call when you blow an 18 point lead into being down 6 isnt the reason you lost.

Of coure officiating can offect the outcome of a game. Im just saying it has had a much more minimal impact than what people are argueing it did.


I'm sorry. But in my experience, bad reffing has a greater impact than even these guys are arguing, more than just the points in the possession directly affected. It deflates you, distracts you, demoralizes you, affects the succeeding plays. Although I'm not a pro player with as much experience, it's like that whenever I play and watch.

You're supposed to suck it up, maybe let it motivate you, but players are human. Except Lebron, who is obviously cyborg.

So why dont you point out how the Kings lost to the Lakers in the 2002 WCF due to pivotal game changing plays, rather than the refs, theres like a million disdain basketball fans waiting for your breakdown...

you never got a point across? All you said was that reffing isnt that important, then i point you to examples where reffing was important and you just walk away like you don't have to partake in the counter argument. All that shows me is that you really dont have a well though out concise argument, and you are just going to fall back on rhetoric like "refs dont put the ball in the basket!" when you know damn well that refs have a very huge impact on basketball.

If you think this is trolling, you should meet me in 4v4 RT

Uh, the refs made some bad calls last night for sure but I don't think a direct comparison to game 6 of the 2002 WCF is warranted - that game was actually literally rigged by the refs.

It's not trolling when someone disagrees with you.

it is trolling when he expect me to break down a 10 years old series where Kobe and Shaq in their prime had big shot Harry in their line up. and tell me that the Kings would have won bo7 if not for bad calls.

Pierce needs to take it to the rim instead of shooting all these damn jumpers.

It's amazing that Miami is so far ahead with Wade basically contributing nothing.

He said the refs have "never" won or lost a game, which is completely bull shit. Look at Ed Malloy ejecting Paul Pierce last year for an example, or the bad calls on Lebron in the game he fouled out. The 2002 example is just the most well noted example of refs controlling a series.
