Hometown Discount for Chicago last night

[HurricaneDij39]

I'm not one that likes to blame the refs, but Paul George got jobbed.

Jimmy Butler got little ball on that play, if at all. And how exactly does George fall to the floor if no contact on the play?

Saw the play live. Clearly not a foul. India effed up that final possession from the jump. Holding for a final shot when you're down 1 is beyond stupid.

Yeah I saw the replay. Didn't think it was a foul. If he did get him, it was on the fingers near the end of his release. I wouldn't have called it.

Lol JFB tarnished George's family name and you call foul.

He told Paul "not today now sit the fuck down". Take the rejection like a man.

Didn't see the play, but what you are referring to is "home cooking." See Celtics, Boston or Auerbach, Red for examples.

A "hometown discount" is when an FA signs for less to stay with his current team when he could get more someplace else. See Duncan, Tim or Nowitzki, Dirk for examples.

Got to see a closer look at the replay tonight, and now I think it's a good no-call. Butler clearly got the hand, and the hand is part of the ball according to the NBA rule book, like the LeBron/Plumlee play a couple years ago. So scratch this thread.


Still can't help but hate on the Bulls once in awhile simply because I believe more people here in NW Indiana should be Pacers fans...

Georges mistake was fading away, put him off balance, Jimmy got the hand up so high he needed to alter the shot so it would not be blocked. Lebron would have probably gotten that call, George is only that good in his own head. Bottom line, you get the defender up in the air and want a foul called, go straight up and into him once he leaves his feet.

Dij, your thread and excuse making is a facepalm. Don't blame me because you're shook.

Soft-shouldered bitch.
