Well.... He's arguing about the ref being over ruled, but it's still the right call according to them. So I understand that his mad that the ref on the baseline overruled it, but at least it was the correct call.

It's not just that.

Nuggets have not a single guy on this team that is capable of closing a game. They need to tank ASAP otherwise it's just gonna be more first round exits.

Oddly enough I agree with you. I thought that one of the guys would step up (Affalo or Lawson, ideally), but it never happened.

After seeing it again, It wasn't "technically" a backcourt violation, but it's only because the ref called it too early. If he would have waited for Durant's 2nd step, THAT was a back court. Reinforcing my case that NBA refs are fucking morons. And you guys think these idiots are smart enough to fix games?

I think the fix games part is just people joking most of the time, but people have to agree that referees are blowing a lot of calls. Why else would they introduce new things to help the refs get calls right almost every single year?

I'm laughing because it is probably true. It was just the candid matter-o-fact way you presented it that got me laughing.

Edit: Oh I see, I didn't mean 'ha ha ha' as a sarcastic laugh, more of a muted chuckle

You've been a great sport, I can easily imagine other posters here really losing their cool after a game like that.

Thanks, I no longer live in Denver, but after so many years I'm not giving up on this damn team.

Jordan was much more smooth and had way more swagger.

KD impresses me, but he's still too young and hasn't done anything to brand him with the Jordan effect.

My forbidden comparison sits well with me! KD is one fine basketball player.

I thought Chuck and them said that it wasn't a back court violation because KD stepped on the line, causing him not to be established in neither front nor backcourt? Maybe I misheard.

Truth be told, accurately calling an NBA game is almost impossible because of the speed and quickness of those players. The refs tend to do a decent job most of the time, but they're far from perfect.

But you're right that the call should have been reviewed. Doubt if it would have been overturned, but it was a very close call.

The point is that some things that happen on the court aren't even fucking close, but they continue to be called incorrectly in late game situations.

It's really not that hard to orchestrate point shaving.

It was overturned. Without review.

Just call a spade a spade; it was a bad call. You guys probably would have won anyway.

From the NBA Rulebook on inbounds:
Click to expand...

It was a out of bounds play, it was a timeout, called after the Thunder had advanced the ball.

I´m surprised nobody has picked up on this, if the rules haven´t changed, you can´t go backcourt on a situation like that, in which you advanced the ball dribbling and called a timeout.

It wasn´t a dead ball situation in which advancing and then going back is allowed.

I´m 99% sure the rule hasn´t changed.

It´s not a dead ball play, so your rule quote doesn´t apply.

It's a "bad" call because it was wrong. They advanced the ball and then called a timeout, then he proceeds to step into the backcourt. That is a fucking backcourt. If you don't think it is you obviously don't know the rules or are a complete homer.

"The only advantage the Celtics have is they score and they defend."

Great insight.

"Boston's going to struggle against Kevin Garnett."

It's like drunk ass C-Webb just took over.

Watching Chuck for insightful analysis is like watching Fox News for objectivity.
