Series Thread: 1st Round: 3) LA Lakers vs 6) Minnesota T-Wolves

It's a real shame NBA officiating is such a joke. No consistency whatsoever. Tim Hardaway Jr gets slammed into on a 3 that the crew chief admits post-game was clearly a foul...oh, good, I'm sure Pistons fans are satisfied with your honesty. Then in the Lakers/Wolves game, which was very physical with a lot of body no calls, LeBron touches Ant's hand at the end and it's overturned as a foul. Hysterical

With how some of the support has been playing, what is the harm of giving Knecht some minutes?

JJ had a great rookie season as a HC but he hasn't been brilliant this postseason.

He's not ready for playoff basketball

Ticky tack as fuck.

But, they just let players travel at will....

????

We got 6 points from DFS.....that is ALL we fucking got from the bench. You don't think Westside Knecht could have contributed?

LMFAO look who is now complaining about the refs

Goodwin is ready for playoff basketball, @wildturkey?

I rarely complain about the officiating. You constantly complain about the officiating.

There is a difference.

2 completely different situations

Both non calls on the floor. 1 was reviewable, the other was not

If the Hart on Hardaway play were reviewable, they definitely would have gotten it right.

Can’t just ignore a replay that clearly shows the reason the ball went out of bounds was LeBron swiping down on Ant’s wrist.

That definitely is not right.

Also, that call was not why the Lakers lost.

They were stagnant as hell at the end of the game and their starters looked tired after playing all 24 in the second half

Refs got it right via review as they should

So Hardaway shouldn't have had 3 free throws coming? Please say no to show how full of shit you are

One called one wasn't. The one they didn't call was wrong. Then they reversed their own call, meaning they fucked the original call as well. So they blew two critical end of game calls anyway you cut it. Now spin away

That was already addressed in that thread. You clearly are very slow and don't understand what refs can/can't review.

It doesn't need to be replayed. FFS, he saw the contact and swallowed the whistle

Both were missed calls in live action. Minnesota just got lucky that it was an out of bounds play which allowed them to challenge and the refs to see the clear foul on Bron. Had the same happened in Detroit, they would still lose because the coach used his challenge on an irrelevant out of bounds challenge in the first 5 minutes of the game

Maybe he did but in this situation, you can't review a play and see a player get hit across the arm and act like you don't see it

So slap his hand to lose the ball out of bounds and don’t call the foul? That makes sense

The Lakers foul on LeBron was not the wrong call.

Don’t know how you can say that with the still photo of LeBron slapping Ant’s arm.

Hand would be okay. Hand is part of the ball.

Wrist is not.

He slapped Ant’s wrist.
