NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

You all are too much sometimes.

Should that have been called?

I don’t know about that.

But there was absolutely helmet to helmet contact on the play.

So the tweets insinuating “cheating” are flat crazy.

That call gets made probably 1/3 times across the league.

Exactly and even with no helmet to helmet contact the rule is "head and neck area" which there was definitely contact to the head and neck area.

They also explained why the refs couldn't pick up the flag on that particular hit.

But conspiracy theorist gonna conspiracy theorist.

Not true.

The reality is that great teams and great players might get a call to go their way occasionally that others don’t get. That is true in every sport.

The other part is when you have a dynasty like the Chiefs or the Patriots before them, they are always on national TV and people watching are rooting for them to lose.

So when those questionable calls occur (which happen every game for every time) more is made out of it by the people who want to spin the “refs are cheating for the Chiefs” narrative.

I can think of about 10 games where KC got the benefit of 50 50 calls. I can't think of a single instance where it went against them in a meaningful game

Because that is the narrative.

Every team gets benefit of 50/50 calls in every game because there are a lot of them.

Yep it’s just us either. Every neutral fan see the same thing. This doesn’t apply to chiefs fans or Mahomes lovers

Those things happen with the Chiefs, that’s the problem. I haven’t seen a roughing penalty that bad all year though.

Texans need a td here

Cmon man.

The defender made helmet to helmet contact and even bobbed his head forward as he got to Mahomes.

It was not a ton of contact, but it was there.

I have seen plenty of softer roughing calls this year. Happens all the time and not just for Mahomes.

I want the Texans to win just to silence the “narrative” as you put it, I agree that bad calls and missed calls happen in every game but until the Chiefs lose a playoff game for the first time in 3 seasons, it’s hard to overlook.

 

[bksballer89]

BS

Prove it

 

[tlance]

Prove it

LOL.

I’m not watching Saints film. That is cruel and unusual punishment.

But I will call out close calls rest of this game that go against the Chiefs

Hollywood Brown no catch is one. It was the right call, but very close.

Prove it.

Do you want to rewatch all 17 games with me?

 

[thunderc]

Chiefs are the better team. That won’t be true next week.

 

[tlance]

No it won’t.

But I still think a decent chance they find a way to win.

Should they win this week.

Sports fans are the most ridiculously predictable creatures on earth.

Any team that goes on any kind of run that isn't their team...one of 2 things happens...

They "like" that team for a while, then they turn on them because they're "winning too much" so it has to be that "they get all the calls" and the league is helping them cheat. The Warriors are a recent example.

or

They don't like the team so from the very start it's "they get all the calls" and the league is helping them cheat. For example, every championship any big market team has ever won.

Happens every single time.

 

[tlance]

Actually, I lied.

Not even going to be able to watch most of the 2nd half

Going to have to wait until next week
