Game Thread GAME# 2: CLIPPERS @ BLAZERS - OCTOBER 27, 2016 - THURSDAY, 7:30 (PDT), TNT

This is a terrible example and shouldn't even be seen as the same thing. Your son's teacher doesn't white out his correct answers to write in the incorrect answers or mark on his homework that because the teacher had a different interpretation of the answers then your son did he got a bad grade.

Yes I know that it is wordy, but I think you get what I am trying to say, or at least someone will.

 

I believe if it a fight but as long you don't go out on the floor I believe it not leaving the bench.

 

Jeez I loved Reggie Miller as a player but I think I am fully away of the fact now that......

1. This is the Clippers last year to win the title.

2, Blake's healthy. They have an amazing bench. This is their last chance to win a title.

3. CP3, Blake and Doc. Their window is closing. There is their last chance to win the title.

Good thing we don't play the Clips every week because between the lousy officiating, Jordan's BS and the one-sided commentating.....
I'll end up pouring beer on my TV like Kurt Russell does the chess computer in "The Thing."

 

Fully calm. Not a knee jerk reaction to losing one game ; I haven't been a fan of Stotts' Modus Operandi for some time now.
The last couple of weeks have shown that his schemes are the same old same old - and the defense has in fact gotten worse.

 

*If the Spurs and Whoriors are healthy come playoffs time, then the Clippers have exactly 0% to make it to the WCF. Contenders? don't make me laugh.

*I really don't like Turner, i'd be happy if we'd be lucky enough to trade him for an expiring contract ASAP.

*Harkless was a bright spot, his basketball IQ is probably underrated.

*Vonleh is a mule.

 

,

Agreed. Especially if the Trailblazers are healthy and gelling.

You might be jumping the gun, I don't know. I'll stay on the fence for now.

Harkless KILLS the Clippers

Vonleh is Clydesdale, hopefully.

 

@Mediocre Man
I know you're not in town, so weren't at the game.

How many people here were?
Seriously?
@Charcoal Filtered? pretty sure you were there.

So I watched the game last night on dvr. But I was also at the game. There is a major fail at the 6:40 mark of the fourth quarter that only people who were present at the game are privy to.
@HCP ? Love to hear your thoughts and feedback on this.

So at the 6:40 mark is when Plumlee was called for the flagrant when he slightly bumped into the back of Griffin, who then went into a major flop.
All the replays on TNT only go back far enough for the viewers to see Plumlee running in from the perimeter and bumping him in the back. No extension of his arms or anything, just a small bump.
While watching on TV if you notice, while the refs are reviewing the play, the crowd erupts into another major booing frenzy of which I happily joined in. ( I came out of this game hoarse by the way and Im a fricken vocalist with some chops, so that gives you an idea of how bad it was there, which is also not accurately reflected in the tv version with regards to the level of the audio. I think they turned a bunch of the booing down).

I know this has been slightly touched upon by a couple people, but I want to make this clear. What the people present at the game saw on the big screen was a replay that went further back than any shown on TV. The replay is about 6 seconds back and it shows Griffin running up the court and approximately at the half court line comes up from behind on Plumlee and basically bear hugs him and twists him aside, almost tossing him to the ground. Then Griffin darts down into the paint, of which Plumlee follows. and then the ensuing "Flagrant" foul. The play should have been called dead there long before Plumlee went after Griffin with a foul ON Griffin. It was so blatant, I'm not sure they weren't actually doing a hack a Plums attempt. The crowd exploded when it was shown on the big screen but the millions(?) of viewers never got a replay of that. It was complete BS.
@HCP Do you guys in the truck control the playback on the big screen in the moda center? If so man, seriously. All bullshit we have had aside. Thank you much and mad respect. . How does the replay work on the national level games like that? Do they use feed from each of the teams, or do they have their own? Are you able to send video footage to TNT that they may not get with their own cameras if there is a separation? I would love to hear you explain this for me/us so we know in detail how that works.

So for a recap, those here who were not present at the game, do not have a complete picture of just how bad this game was unfortunately.
I was there. IF I thought for sure I could reach the court with my rip city soft drink, I would have tossed it, but I was 300 level and didn't want to hit another fan. I would have gladly taken the boot to emphasize the point of how atrocious it was.
Then you take into account the foul that Riddick called for the refs....

Like I said.. The worst game I have ever seen officiated and unfortunately, unless you were there, you dont have the full scope how completely pathetic it was.

 

Great post! The last called foul pretty much sums up the whole game. Dude is gonna stop playing, and whine to the ref until she calls a foul? And then she actually does??? WTF? My Dad was about ready to throw his drink too. He just didn't want to break the tv though....

 

Was at the game. The crowd was reacting to the bear hug from Griffin and how little the contact from Plumlee looked.

Same crew is calling the game on NBA TV right now.

 

Didn't have a chance to watch any of that one. Were there terrible calls in it?

 

I missed the game but I did see the BULLSHIT call at the end.

 

Just watched some and was really not paying attention. Probably better that way.

 

@HCP

Hoping you can comment on the above. I do value your opinion.

 

Bump.
@HCP

I know your hella busy now. Please read above ^^^

 

HCP doesn't read books, or current game threads, especially not old game threads.

1. Shorten it to 25 words.

2. Shorten that to 15 words.

3. Shorten that to 5 words, ending with the word FAMS!

4. PM him, include the word rookie, and ask him to reply.

 

There is a separate crew that does the replays on the big screen.

As far as the national games go or regional broadcasts...... the NBA back in NJ have access to all cameras home and road show. I will que up the best angle and replay it in the truck for the officials back east and majority of the time they use my replay.

As far as the Plumlee call, I looked at it from about 8 or 9 different angles and he gave him a pretty big stiff arm in the back. I think it was a good call. The fans are even more biased than the people on this forum, so to mention their reaction......they boo everything against their team.

 

Did you sign any confidentiality agreements about what he said?

 

There are two people that sit with me during the game monitoring what he says. When I pick what to put together to make air, they check it and double check it then tell me YES or NO. Then at the end of the night, they watch me delete all files before they take off.

If I really wanted to, it's pretty easy to go back and get them, but they aren't that squared away on the equipment we use.

 

I just meant, can you share any damning anecdotes?
