2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

Yep. They at worst case should be playing OT.

I though the refereeing in the NBA was pretty bad already, but that was bad even for them.

In general, it's a total joke.
Once again, and for prob the 100th time, I'll say it.
Players shouldn't foul out at 6.
6+ should be 2 shots and the ball.
Too often the players we want/pay to see are spending too many minutes sitting out because of terrible calls.

Lebron is currently becoming a meme on twitter.

What's sad is you are not wrong, and yet they are the best officials in the sport. They are better than college refs, they are hella better than international refs. Shows how hard it is to do.

Oh my god though, Popovich looks so much like a grizzled old West prospector I can't fucking handle it.

Spurs Cavs was a great, entertaining game.

The Cavs went COLD from 3 in the 4th. They were 2-15 in the 4th and OT... with 1 of those 2 makes being the deep jack from LeBron to tie it at the end of regulation.

Unlike their past several games though, the shots were good. The ball movement was great and they were getting solid looks, against a great defensive team.

With the Warriors and Spurs pulling away from the Cavs in the standings... its looking like the 2nd half of the season for the Cavs is going to mean very little in terms of wins and losses.

I had small hopes of the Cavs earning HCA for the Finals, but that boat is starting to sail away and all that's really left to play for is chemistry, getting better, and health.

Not that it really matters, but I don't know that they're a shoe in for #1 seed in the East at this point.

I think they made the absolute right call," Cousins said, according to ESPN's Nick Friedell. "Incredible job by the referee crew tonight. I don't have a complaint in the world. I think they should get more recognition on how well they ref these games.

"I don't think they get the credit they deserve," Cousins added. "Kudos to them and I applaud them."

He then began to clap at his locker, taking his own comments to heart.

Didn't see the game. But I heard there was a horse shit call near the end of the game. Seeing the score, I'm assuming the Bulls got the benefit of the doubt.

They didn't lose by 40 to the Nuggets.

So, turn that frown upside down.

It was absolute shit.

Just saw the replay. Wade got the super star bail out.

That's not even a superstar bail out. It's just a poor call. Super Star or not, that call you should never be made......ever

At least Blake is expected back on the road trip

Super Star call is getting a call when someone breaths on you. That was about the near equivalent. We're merely arguing over semantics. At the end it was still a horse shit call.

@gordontrue is lebron scared to guard top players at his position from start to finish? I'm curious

Radio people said LeBron was gassed late 4th qtr/OT??
Maybe that had something to do with it?
I only saw OT, so can't really comment.

Maybe he was but considering Leonard plays his position, would be nice to see him guard Leonard for most of the game instead of having Shump/RJ guarding him
