I mentioned in another thread that I noticed that Lin gets fouled a lot driving in the lane, but some games the referees swallow their whistles and maybe call like half of the fouls Lin should be getting. Some games Harden doesnt even get foul calls from refs either. Its funny that two really amazing and rare players like CP3 and Lebron James get foul calls like their made of porcelain and could break any second. Dont even mention flopping.
When DeAndre leveled Lin on the drive to the basket I just shouted out in anger because there was no call. And the technicality of Dwight's "two hand touch" foul on Blake's "post up" had me scratching my head. I thought I saw one hand the whole time and maybe a love tap from the other hand when Blake went up.
The 3rd foul on Dwight where Blake was rolling to the middle of the paint was just a routine play, happens every time down the court. The charge call on Casspi where Blake slides into him and acts as if he got shot in the shoulder would be my nomination for worst. And then go back to EVERY play where Redick is way too wide open. What happened? You guessed it. Moving pick. They should just rename that team the LA Moving Picks. Ridiculous.
This!...our team always get call for moving screens whenever we create space..I think their was one called on Mullins in this game.
I hated the momentum killing calls. The Casspi offensive foul on Griffin was one momentum killing call. The Parsons dunk is another one. Both calls were just plain bad.
I woke up this morning and told myself that I'm not going to be "that guy" but... No...there is a ref conspiracy because there is a former ref telling us there is a conspiracy with plenty of evidence that people choose to ignore. They do this because it is far more convenient to believe the status quo than to accept they that the NBA (like all sporting leagues) is kinda 'fixed' in some ways. I will continue to watch and support my Houston teams.
How about the non-call when Griffin ran into someone (Parsons?) from behind and knocked him over? That would've put Griffin in foul trouble in the third quarter.
Griffin shoving Parson down, NO CALL Jordan knocking Lin down on that layup attempt, NO CALL CP3 traveled when he went around Casspi and Lin for that Layup, No Call Now we had more freethrow attempts than they did but a lot of the BS calls against us were momentum killers.
Seriously. I saw about 15 moving picks last night (I am sure there were more). I would have to say the charge Griffin got on Casspi was unbelievably a bad call. Lin was hammered every single time he went up to the basket. I was yelling at the TV every time that happened. Howard and the team knew what was going on. The Refs were complete garbage last night. This favoring teams like this needs to stop. Let the guys ****in play.
Team was not going to be 4-0 after last night. Those SCANDELOUS phantom foul cp3 made sure there was no way. If D12 didn't get 3 fouls in 1st qtr and black amish wasn't off might have been a diff game. rematch on Sat
Harden gets most of his calls. Refs definitely don't call for many of Lin's... Regarding the Parsons slam, I jumped up from my seat from that - then Iw as really pissed off once I they called a foul. Parsons was really pissed that's why he went in for that slam. lol I was surprised Parsons could do that.
