Enough said after watching the GS debacle by Bob Delaney and his band of morons/criminals. The foul on Rudy at the end, and then the no-reason T, makes me wonder why I care so much. The refs are either corrupt or incompetent. You choose...
Corrupt, and it got all the way up. Seriously, Stern, if you're going to fix Oden for us, why start taking wins away? Are we winning too many too early? Did you gambit of a schedule not pose enough of a challenge? Are you worried you won't be able to wring one more championship series from Boston and LA before Portland takes over? WTF is your problem?!
I rarely blame officials for a loss...but that was the worst officiating I've seen in a long, long time.
Not sure who called the T, but the look on his face was confusion, followed by a T. He had no idea what Rudy was saying. Hilarious. Wrong. Fucked up. I wonder too sometimes....why I care so much. I can't help it. If the donaghy scandal didn't end my Fandom of the Association, possibly nothing will, and I will continue to suffer.
Yes, sports in general suck, basketball in particular. It's so depressing, no one wanted to talk about it: http://www.nflcentral.net/forums/showthread.php?t=128715 Like you, I care too much.
The officials were horrible and did cost us the game. However Rudy did hold first before the ball was inbounded. Then when the ball was thrown the gS player held because he had no chance to get it. Tough call, but who do you call it on? The T was all ego by the prick ref.
Yeah, I don't think the league is fixed... but there are a lot of incompetent and inexperienced refs who buckle under the pressure. I thought the league was supposed to be cracking down on flopping and it just looked like it was rewarded more tonight.
I am so bone weary of this issue, I can't even work up a good rant. The NBA is over-run by zebras with thin skins, huge egos, and chips on their shoulders. The whole concept of "technical foul" has been hopelessly perverted and needs to be abolished. While we are on the subject, all refs should be given an intense battery of psychological tests. Any ref who WANTS to be noticed or WANTS to decide the outcome of a game should be promptly fired. (and preferably neutered)
Just saw upclose video on KGW. Rudy said that his jersey was pulled, then pulled his own jersey, and the Ahole ref said (looked like) 'no he didn't' and then blew a T on Rudy. Screw this league.
