They all called a jump ball?!

Then they rehuddled and decided they cant bounce James in round 1.

 

[DorianRo]

Stephenson was arguably Indy's best player tonight. He also got the jump ball, not sure what the shit the ref saw.

But you're an idiot, so nevermind.

Stephenson idiocy (like always) costs them the game. The guy is DUMB as a sack of bricks

Green shoves Stephenson's chest after a legit hard working play to get a jump ball. Yet Stephenson gets called for a foul...? After a jump ball signal was called.

 

[Black Adam]

I know I’m not tripping, I seen they called jump ball

thought the exact same...

Where exactly did he cost them the game? By trying to get a jump ball instead of just intentionally fouling down 3 with about 10 seconds to go?

 

[DorianRo]

Stephenson rolled him around the court, then the refs caught him saying some BS to him and give him a T.

No surprise. its Stephenson

LOL ok, Sparky.

 

[OregonDucks]

One ref called jump ball and the other called a foul. Guess the ref who called jump ball was overruled

The ref who was standing right next to the two players called the jump ball.

You do realize that Stephenson didn't receive a technical, correct?

 

[Mecca]

But do you agree he looks like Tom Cruise?

No, he looks more like Ashton Kutcher.

Wally Szerbiak kinda looked like Cruise.

 

[gordontrue]

lol you guys really arguing that mma style takedown?

bailed 'em out...

 

[bksballer89]

Me lol

 

[OregonDucks]

Just when I am getting into the NBA playoffs, even though Portland got swept and the bullshit power trip of the league goes and pulls something like this and totally disinterests me.

Had to have been a T or personal foul (One or the other) . Why was Green shooting then?

 

[bksballer89]

I know but when 2 refs disagree on a call then they have to discuss which call they're going with.

 

[LAD]

Who has established that?

Rings absolutely matter.

Players like James Worthy, Kevin McHale, James Parish and Dennis Rodman were all very good players, but they aren't sniffing the Hall if they played on teams that never won championships.

There are many considerations for the HOF. If you don't win, you had better be an MVP caliber player. Westbrook, Harden, Ewing, Malone, etc.

But, there are many second and third option type players from championship teams that make it.

My point was you don't have to have titles to make it.

 

[gordontrue]

Marv and Chris Webber are the worst possible duo when it comes to explaining what is actually going on though.

 

[Inimical]

That was a jump ball. There was no foul before if anything after but it was a jump ball. So at most they call a T, but if anything a Double T. They even had the replay, the officiating was so blatantly wrong. I cant believe, what i just saw?! Do you believe in Miracles?!! Or conspiracies?!?!! YEEESS!!!
