    "Marginal."

    Durant was draped all over LeBron. Fouled him when LeBron started to drive. Fould him when LeBron went up for the shot.

    Rockets the late game means Celtics/Wiz 90% chance it's going OT.

    LeBron getting absolutely mauled and no fouls being called. This is why he's only averaging 5 FTAs.

    Okay but what about all those times the Cavs did it to the Warriors and got no calls?

    Who was the "golden child" when Richard Jefferson fouled KD last Christmas in Cleveland?

    Some of you guys have selective memory. Gotta make sure it matches your agenda.

    payback time.

    RJ fouled KD and got no call last Christmas

    This Christmas, KD get his revenge by fouling LBJ twice and ref didn't call the 2 fouls.

    Who said god is fair? Prays be Jesus on his day

    Tristan THompson looks horrible. Guess the stress of being a new daddy is troubling him and affecting his play.

    I'm judging it by today's game, tbh I didn't see the game and i don't give a S*** what happened between RJ and KD last season. You can take your agenda and go back to the warriors forum.

    He's more of a KD stan than Warriors.

    If they let that kind of contact go (reaching all over the arms of driving player) Teams would barely score 70.

    I'm pretty much over KD. The two playoffs series against the Rockets started it.
    Don't blame him at all for leaving OKC but didn't like his choice. Some of the stuff he's said and done since leaving: :rolleyes:.
    Don't hate him though like many here.

    The guy on the Warriors I really like is Bell. Watched him at Oregon for 2 years and called his NBA success prior to the draft. He put up 20/10 Friday.

    Problem is not with the official(s). It's the replay system & how often there are stoppages in our game. If they're not gonna replay foul calls, the replay system is too flawed to go on. LeBron definitely got fouled on the last out of bounds call that didn't go his way.

    Biggest modification you'd make now?

    I'd give a challenge to each coach in the last 2 minutes on a foul call. Foul calls are most important to get right. They're very difficult to officiate. We have a younger, more inexperienced officiating crew. You should have the ability to get an obvious foul corrected.

    JVG just agreed with me. :)

    It makes no sense that you can't correct an obvious mistake on replay. I understand why they don't want to review foul calls because that would be too frequent. But there is no reason why a foul call can't be reversed if a replay of another issue (e.g. out of bound) shows that a foul call or non-called was clearly a mistake.

    The "judgment" argument is BS. You can always use the "inconclusive" principle. Change just the clear enough mistakes.

    I don't watch many Wizards games..and now can't believe how much Beal has improved his playmaking. Amazing.
