So, how are the officiating crews assigned to these playoff games? Is that part rigged (for those that think it's rigged)? Is it coincidence we got stuck with this crew in the critical game 7?
Seems pretty ridiculous that the site is putting sooooo much emphasis on officiating when we had a chance to win still. Shoot better and we win.
Agree op. *** Foster, *** Silver, *** NBA, *** Kerr, *** Worriers, *** Oakland-sf, *** the NBA Finals. I'm not watching a single second of the fukn finals.
Both can be true. don't be daft we got skull****ed by scott foster and crew while shooting poorly. had we not gotten ****ed over by the refs in the 1h, we could have had a 20 or 22 point lead due to those swings. that makes it more of an uphill battle for the warriors, gives us extra cushion, prob hit more shots because fatigue doesn't set in as quickly, etc, etc. plus anyone that watches us knows when we don't get calls inside we tend to chuck 3's. we had some poor shot selection of 3's as a result, in addition to missing a ton of open looks
fucc scott foster and anybody that love him. he deserves to hottest part of hell. i'll never forgive this. i tell my grandkids about the night scott foster rigged the rockets from making it to the nba finals. i'm googling voodoo dolls right now.
Seriosuly, I wish the NBA was more cognizant of this. Donaghy spoke about this, that some refs have it out for certain players, his story was Iverson. http://www.cbc.ca/sports/basketball/convicted-ref-donaghy-says-iverson-targeted-1.839107 So enter Chris Paul. It wasn't even that long that Cp3 was quoted as saying... Foster probably ecstatic he got to stick it to CP3 tonight. Poor Chris had to sit there and watch his team got jobbed. It had to be like watching your hated rival make you watch as he kills your pet dog or something. Foster had a lot of fun tonight I guess. That's who they pay to see...
the fact that scott foster is part of the nba's top 3 (i think he's actually #1) crew is malpractice and enough to claim fixing. you can basically throw that bum out there for any big game and have him sway it in your favor. and this all despite the negative reviews from teams and his history with donaghy. it makes zero sense that the NBA holds him in such high regard when every one in the entire universe can see he's a piece of **** at his job and determines outcomes.
What employee vote are you referring to? I would just like to read up on it as this guy who obviously suffers from cataracts is still an employee of the nba.
This is the attitude the NBA counts on, and why nothing ever gets better. I can think of multiple NBA series where officiating was atrocious. I can identify an NBA official who spent time in prison for betting on games. I can't think of a single other sport that has had this issue with regards to its officials...not to this depth.
Our owner, GM, and Star players should call out the horrible reffing publicly. I hope Foster spend rest of his life in a cell.
I'm just saying. Players and coaches are essentially employee's of the NBA. That is why when they hit the 10 year mark in the league players get yearly $$(i think 100k) for life from the league, not the teams they played for, the league. To give an example/analogy If I go to college, we are asked to review our professors at the end of the semester. The School evaluates our critique, if enough students have the same opinions from their experience then university makes changes. Probably a bad analogy sorry I'm tired. The NBA should seriously respect and take the opinions of the entire leagues coaches and players.. They shouldn't instead be using the ref that they voted as being the worst (by a wide double digit margin from the ref voted 2nd worse) in critical games. I mean come on, they have a roster of 100+ refs to choose from.. you only need 3
Yep I agree but its ca very emotional game but this will mke them mentally tougher and better as a team. If you listen to Steve Kerr and the Warriors players they know they had no business winning this series or this game. its happened before. Mjs bulls against pistons in 1990 ECF and !987 ECF to the Pistons vs Celtics. The next year the team that got the short end of the stick comes back to dominate its all a cycle. I cant say i like it but it has proved to help the competition overall in the league and produce a great champ. the Rox will be back
I honestly don't think we r coming back unless morey somehow works his magic to vanquish Anderson's shtty contract.
That video is something else...and being at the game I didnt hear the broadcast. I am pretty shocked to hear those guys siding against the refs in Harden's favor so much. This, however, was my favorite part of the post!!! Hahaha
The NBA office is corrupt. They aren't going to do anything or admit anything and the national media won't even mention this. I thought things would get better after Stern left, but the fact that they even assigned Foster's crew to this game speaks for itself.
