Calls? WTF.

He was clearly out of bounds on that play where the ref gave him a timeout.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Did I miss when they changed the rules that make it if the ball gets knocked out of your hands it's a jump ball?

Apparently it's a travel if you get it back. I don't understand either.

Gotta say, I've missed seeing 90% of Reilo's posts be referee related. Its been a while.

LA feed showed a baseline angle and it looked like he called timeout before his hand went a out, but I gotta see it again.

His feel/legs never went out, though.

That said, they didn't even score on that possession. CP3 hit that 3 and then the layup to win the game.

I guess to prevent you from throwing the ball off someone to reset your dribble? Is this even a thing?

 

[careful]

Jump ball calls are getting ridiculous. In the Raps game, Dwight bear hugged Amir Johnson. Jump ball.

Uhuh

Hint: You've got to have both hands on the ball to call a timeout.

That was really, really poor down the stretch though. Even the most calm fans have to be irked by that.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

I love basketball but I root for only my team. How the hell is this a hard concept to understand and homer in any way?

So do you only watch Miami's games? I'm assuming no, so you're saying when you're watching these other games you never root for a certain team?

 

[Black Mamba]

The ball has to hit the ground before you touch it again if it leaves your hand without getting a shot off, even if it's knocked out. I don't know what the rule is there if it's supposed to be a jump or a travel, but the refs always call jump ball there.

They need to change the rules then because that's ridiculous.

 

[Mutagenic]

Despite the loss I'm really liking this Portland team. Wallace just had a terrible game. If Camby can stay somewhat healthy they're gonna be really good. How can you not root for them after what's happened? Possibly the worst #1 draft pick of all time considering they could've had Durant, and then Brandon Roy has to retire. You have to pull for this team if you have a heart.

Please, keep your sympathy points. A majority of us who live in Portland are over all that stuff. It's time to move on.

I need to see the baseline angle again. You don't need both hands, but you need to have possession. From that angle I'd agree it didn't look like he had possession.

But I repeat, they didn't score on that possession, so it didn't really matter.

I guess. but that's been the rule forever. We just usually see it with bigs when they go up for a shot.

But it gave the ball back to the Clippers with time on the clock. Those 10-15 seconds are precious in close games like this.

Really? I see players get the ball tipped from their hands and they grab it back all the time with no call. Seems like a really inconsistently officiated deal.

if the warriors picked oden over durant, i would never be over it because we never get any winning talent on this piece of shit team.

 

[dream]

I saw the same replay you saw, Mamba. It's still close but the angle we saw doesn't make it look as bad as the one up there does.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Niiice

Next week they have a chance at getting some wins, playing an old Spurs team, Cleveland and an injured Memphis team

Wizards and Raptors, too. Some very winnable games in this next week.

Were they jumping? Was it an actual shot or pass? It's a weird play. Depends. As I said, I don't know the rule, but I know how the refs call it. They've pretty much called that play a jumpball most times I've seen it happen like that.

It's like a blocked shot when the shooter never lets go of the ball.

But Crawford did let go of the ball and he caught again.

I'll pay more attention, but I'm pretty sure I've seen it let go several times. It's not the most common thing, so it's hard to remember specifics, however. I'll have to pay more attention to it going forward.

 

[Black Mamba]

I know, but it never went away from him. I didn't mean it's the same play as the one I mentioned, just the same call.

I'm sure it's not called 100%. Just it gets called, so it's not a surprising call. I've never understood why it's anything but play on.

Great, but we have endured enough at this point here that we're desensitized. Things could be way worse than they are.

is that a kilt

Alright, time to go back to talking about how terrible Griffin is defensively. He makes Amare and Love look like Tim Duncan.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

holy crap I can't wait till this hipster nerd fashion trend is over

He has to save all his hops for counted dunks and lob siren highlights.

ditto. Though it looks like we'll be waiting for a minute.

 

[reilo]

Did you see the play where he was wide open for a dunk on a fastbreak and he passed it to Paul just so he could lob it to him for a highlight?

 

[ph33nix]

So do you only watch Miami's games? I'm assuming no, so you're saying when you're watching these other games you never root for a certain team?

yes you are correct

when i watch other games i watch for the entertainment. i don't need to root for a team to have any interest. all i care about is watching good players do what they do

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Griffin was crowned a superstar way too early. People only saw the highlights and raw stats and not his horrible defense and shooting. He's a really good player and will probably be a superstar soon, but I think he's more around the 20th-25th best player in the league instead of top 9 like ESPN's writers voted him as.

 

[The Frankman]

Terrible PG

Trade him now. Do it MJ

I told you you're not getting any better than Jeffries + Bibby from the Knicks. They might be willing to throw in Lin.

frankie we are in the playoffs tho did you see that we are in the playoffs

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Kings removed Cousins from their pregame intro. A lot of King fans are speculating that this is a power play by Wesphal to distract from Tyreke's comments that the Kings players have no idea what to do on offense, but that just may be desperate hope from them.

OMFG you right

Hadn't even checked standings

PARTY TIME

lol Atlantic division.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Are you guys talking about the Giants getting into the playoffs? If so, I think I deserve some thanks as a Dolphins fan for assuring that the Jets went down in flames as hard as possible today.

Edit: this is probably some 2k12 stuff, right?

I would have loved to have seen Taylor get another TD in his final game, but forcing the pick was pretty huge in itself. I'm going to miss having him around. I've worn out a couple of his jerseys over the years.

Dnt listen to everything u hear ...smh glad to knw who the real fans are tho ...thanks

Who would have guessed that the Kings would implode after continually drafting a bunch of blackhole headcases and put a terrible culture around them?
