    Iggy should be at the foul line. What a horrible call by Tony Brown.

    Even with the refs, Minnesota is doing all they can to blow this game. Love way short on a 3 early in the shot clock with under a minute left.

    Barnes blows an open 3 at the buzzer. WIDE OPEN. If Minnesota is going to start getting star calls, they'll be hard to beat. Warriors are slumping big time right now.

    haha no. I didn't take it that way. I knew what you meant.

    Can't wait to watch that game on replay... hopefully with a GS win. (Sorry I just do not like the Wolves.)

    We'll see it in all it's glory tomorrow night if that's the case. If a 21-21 team is getting AS calls against one of the elite teams on their court....

    I thought that was clean by Hibbert. He went straight up, and Williams jumped into him. I'd love it if the NBA starts calling that a non-foul consistently.

    Thornton and Thomas have 80 of Sacto's 111 points. Who saw that coming?

    Watching the NBA is so much more fun to me when the Blazers are a legitimate playoff team.

    Paul George just picks Thomas' pocket. Ballgame.

    I agree. All the angles showed it was straight up and the guy on the floor for indy didn't do anything wrong either. Great no-call.

    I know Thomas has done well this game... but he's made some really poor shot selections as well.

    Re: OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread

    GS crowd chanting “Ref you suck!”, after that horrible offensive call. What a game changing, terrible call. Violet Palmer was in attendance, so it was prolly a horribly called game anyway.

    Love takes a 3 to close the game and misses. Shocking. 1-10 in games decided by 4 points or less now, and Rubio with his 1st 4th quarter basket in 19 games, so that’s good I guess.

    Minnesota has won 4 games this season versus teams over .500 (OKC, Dallas, Portland, and now GS).

    Minnesota is 4-6 in the 2nd of a B2B game this season (wins over Utah, Boston, Philly, and @ Milwaukee)

    GS and Minn keep getting pushed on everyone as great teams. It was fun to watch them beat up on each other or a bit. Rubio and Love looked beat up with an ankle and knee owies.

    Re: OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread

    When I was a kid I watched Rick Barry (GSW) score 64 points against the Blazers. It really pissed me off because his teammates were passing up fast break layups to give him the ball so he could pad his stats, and I felt, make us look bad. OTOH, it didn't stop me from copying his little running half hook bank shot. Money.
