ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Nuggets 12/15/2025

So the league admits we lost because of the refs.

The NBA is officially the WWE

 

Go watch youtube replays of NBA, you will see many NBA fans see comments about many bogus, erroneous calls based on favoritism. My favorite comment was something like 'fire NBA refs, hire FIBA refs' It has become unwatchable because of the inconsistency of foul calls.

 

Guess who was behind the whistle for all of them

 

Gaurantee you this bald headed stubborn**** will play capela

 

Brutal quote from Ime. Making his NBACares donation before Christmas, that's good.

Fred would've gone full meltdown last night for sure. Valenciunas could've been whistled out of the game in 6 possessions the way he was playing, sheesh. Amen with 2 of the most gentle fouls I've ever seen. That one Ime took a tech on, Sengun clearly hit in the head. Scales were tilted, plain and simple and this league doesn't have the clout or integrity to deny it. One just does his best to enjoy the show and move on.

 

Meh. When you're playing against a top team, you're going to have close games sometimes even when you play your best. And you're going to lose some of those games. Can be from players getting unusually hot beyond what you can control defensively. Can be from the ball just not bouncing your way. Can be from bad officiating, as with last night. In the playoffs, those losses are extremely meaningful and upsetting, and can be the difference between winning or losing the series. Still nothing you can do about it though.

In the regular season? It was frustrating and of course I'd rather have won, but I'm not losing sleep over it. Still just 1 game out of 82.

 

5 games against the top talent in the west. You should be concerned that this team will get destroyed by the spurs in round 1

 

Has the league actually fined him for these comments? Shouldn't Ime do an interview and say, "I'm not paying" after the NBA 2-minute report -- which only analyzes a tiny portion of a horribly called game?

 

Meh….because your “2nd team” is the denvers. Of course you’re not losing sleep over your secret #1 team / public 2nd team “winning” last night.

 

I've **** on Udoka a lot this season, but this is a true leader.

He still has his flaws but this is what we need from the leader of the team. @Nook

Respect for taking the $100K fine or whatever

 

I also wasn't that upset about the OKC loss, and I effing hate that city/state/team, lol

 

I can't watch a highlight video without nuggets fans spamming the **** out of it with dumb crap like the warriors do.

 

confirmed. OKC third team.

I have one team

Rockets

.

 

How does this description of the play match the Correct No Call designation?

00:18.2 To 00:02.3
Q4 00:03.3 Foul: Shooting Spencer Jones Alperen Sengun CNC Video
Comment: Jones (DEN) briefly grasps Sengun's (HOU) jersey and immediately releases his jersey as he begins his upward shooting motion. The arm contact that occurs after the release of the shot attempt is considered incidental.

Isn't grabbing a jersey a foul? But since he released it as he shot it's not? Absolute horseshit, the NBA just didn't want to admit that Zarba ****ed the Rockets over 4 times down the stretch. (5 if you also count the Amen shin "foul")

 

All he has to do is waive capela

 

But no accountability. No suspensions or reprimands or docked pay.

 

I think it matters and indicative of where we are as a team right now. Doesn’t mean we can’t or wont get there. Just means right now we can’t beat DEN OKC DET.

 

Bottom line is the NBA refs are assholes @WestendMassive (and corrupt) and it’s not getting any better.

Want you to believe Donaghy was a lone wolf

And ref Eric Lewis, the Celtics fan, and oh he suddenly “retired” and the investigation is closed.

https://www.nba.com/news/referee-eric-lewis-retires-nba-closes-investigation

And Jontay Porter was a lone wolf.
And Damon Jones.
And Terry Rozier.
And Chauncey Billups.

And the lotteries are totally not fixed/rigged. No, nevvverrrrrr.

Burn it all down and start over.

NBA refs are the worst. Followed by baseball. (Moving to automated balls/strikes). Followed by football. (Sorry, don’t follow futbol or hockey).

 

That's only 2 minutes, when they know there will be a public report on their errors. Imagine what a 48 minutes report would look like. Worst officiated major league in the world.
