Holy crap that is easily the worst officiated game I have seen in recent memory. Are you fucking kidding me? The blatant missed call when Morrow tugged Rudy's jersey on the inbound was the icing on the shitcake. What a joke. I can't wait until that joke of a basketball team in Golden State comes to Portland so we can give them a true whipping when they aren't getting the benefit of some ridiculous home court officiating. Horrible. David Stern should be ashamed of his league after that display. -Pop
Not like it will do any good, but I actually did send them an email. Maybe if enough of us do it, it might at least prompt them to give those officials one less gold star on their annual review. What a fucking joke. -Pop
I also sent them a email but it won't do any good. The NBA hasn't done anything about officials yet and that is after the Donaghy fix.
I wouldn't typically send a mail, cuz it's a waste of time, but I'm still fuming over the game, so I let 'em have it.
I also sent an email! I still can't talk. I don't want anyone to talk to me. UNREAL! Tomorrow we need to boo the hell out of the refs.
One of the guys I work with told me that the line for this game moved "suspiciously" (as he called it) He didn't bet on it but I live in Vegas and tons of people here do, so he just thought I should know that we were in for trouble. How the line moved and why, I don't really know but I thought it was bullshit when he told me to not be surprised if we lost.
Dear Whomever told us that Donaghy was an isolated incident, I have been a fan of the Portland Trailblazers since I was eight years old and this goes back to the days of Clyde Drexler, Terry Porter, etc. I just watched the end of an exciting match-up between Golden St. and Portland. I have never seen such an obvious attempt at favoritism. Bob Delaney needs to investigated for his role in the Blazers' loss. I'm sure you will be able to see the review of the game on tape and I recommend it. That was the most inappropriate technical foul call I have EVER seen. Rudy Fernandez was being pulled by his jersey for a good two steps yet it is he who is called for the foul. This is with less than ten seconds in the game and where with a proper call, the score would've had a 94%(Rudy's free throw percentage) of being tied. Instead, Delaney calls a phantom foul on Fernandez and compounds it by calling the WORST and MOST INAPPROPRIATE technical foul call that I have ever seen. I don't see how you guys plan to win NBA fans back after hiring such piss-poor officials. Delaney needs a suspension. Signed, Disgusted in Portland P.S. I know it sounds amateurish. Forgive me, I am tired and depressed. <---- That excuse never worked with my ex-girlfriend when I tried to win her back.
I wish these ref's had a Myspace page, I'd so leave them horrible comments. Seriously though, I haven't seen a worse officiated game in a long time. Absolutely horrible.
This is just adding insult to injury: http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=281118009 I must've been watching a different game.
