Re: NBA
Tough loss for my guys last night against Denver. We were leading throughout the game, then near the end, like the last few minutes, things fell apart due to some shitty calls by ref Scott Foster. I don't know why Scottie Barnes got a technical AND ejected from the game! . Rather excessive, imo. HIs gesture didn't look like anything worse than what the other players do. I mean, he didn't give the refs the finger or anything like that. Nick Nurse should have played Gary Trent Jr more; Siakam wasn't having a great night.
Re: NBA
Just saw that Scottie apparently said the refs were cheating in earshot of Foster. Ugh, that's fucking stupid he got ejected for that.Artemis wrote: ↑Tue Mar 07, 2023 7:36 amTough loss for my guys last night against Denver.

Imho, the refs have gotten really bad the last few years when players question anything with any emotion.

I didn't watch the Clippers game last night but we had some ref issues again with Fred Van Vleet. He also had some public words about the refs post-game. Wonder if that will result in a 15K fine for criticizing the refs.

Haha, good on Fred.

Re: NBA
the kings can clinch a playoff spot tonight. It's been a while...
they probably have the 3 spot pretty much locked up. the seven teams behind them are all within 2 1/2 games of each other so who knows who the kings will play. It's cool to see OKC jump ahead of Dallas and Utah up to a play in spot.
I do hope we don't play the Warriors or Lakers since I would like to go to a playoff game and have a chance at tickets. My last playoff game was 2002 game 5 vs the Lakers. What a game....

Re: NBA
I cant believe we are this close to the end of the season! I also can't believe I'm as invested as I am right now. A month ago, I was pulling for a Bulls tank (and I'm still thinking they should have, but damn if the last number of games haven't had me excited).
Hoping Sac clinches tonight too. They've been really impressive this season!
I don't think this many playoff match ups have still been so up in the air at this point in the season for a good while. The falls and rises in the last month have been wild.

Welp, came for the Bulls-Clippers game but didn't realize I'd actually purchased a ticket to the Nic Batum 3-Point Clinic. Yeesh.
Creep, was rooting for the Kings last night. I did not see Minn winning that at all.
