Doc going IN on the refs

New-found respect. He's going to get a major fine.

Over/under $50,000 fine

[AASATX]

That he is. Shit needs to be said though.

[da_suns_fan]

Hes such a little bitch.

Should have prepared your team for a defensive stop.

And once he got indication the call didnt go his way he spent the next minute barking at the refs instead of preparing his team.

He's just not a good coach.

[BanditHiro]

get the country to hate the Thunder because of how much the refs baby them and he might be able to win game 6.

Dude won't care about fines tbh. He's rich as fuck and he was telling the truth. Even rogues can't deflect that shit.

[Stabula]

Finally a coach openly blames the refs for their rigged officiating potentially deciding the fate of a series. This shit slides way too often it cheapens the entirety of the sport.

[Leetonidas]

I really hope the Spurs win their inevitable WCF rematch and I know they can if Reggie Jackson doesn't become Harden in every single game. This shit needs to stop tbh

[da_suns_fan]

Only fucking idiots think the league is rigged.

It was the wrong call but Barnes fouled the guy. Still had to just make one defensive stop or execute with 6 seconds to go.

Doc didnt have his players in the right mindset when hes crying for ten minutes over spilled milk.

[da_suns_fan]

If the league was rigged, San Antonio wouldnt have four titles.

[Jacob1983]

Chris Paul blew the game by not handling the ball. He played like the bitch he is and screwed his team.

pretty much. props to Rivers for them truth bombs.

NBA raking it in from the Clippers. 2.5m from the owner, 50-75K from Doc and all the while the Clippers are the racial victims while the Jew takes all his money as a gesture of good will.

I can't give credit to Tom Rivers, currently the biggest piece of shit in the NBA, tbh..constantly, subtly using the Sterling incident as a pass for eventually quitting on the Clippers(just like he did to the Celtics), despite happily signing with a proven racist and essentially condoning his actions..

Piece of shit on every level, tbh..

refs of the game should be fired and banned for lifelong from basketball like Sterling.

They won spite of the REFS at times! They were robbed a few times on calls, don't get me started there. Barry no call on Fisher, .4 and Mavs series in 06 when so many bad Calls were made it puzzled TNT crew after a game leading CHUCK to say NBA Refs suck! They have been robbed too at times.

Im gonna say this....it was a foul, definitely was a foul. But!...replay is not in place to make a subjective decision. It's in place to make the call as to who touched the ball last. They have just opened a pandoras box with that call. When do they use subjectivity and when do they go by who physically touched the ball last? Replay is for who touched the ball lastPERIOD.

If they're not gonna do that then get rid of replay.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Spurs don't have a snowball's chance in hell against RefKC. Go Miami? Miami seems to get fucked the least by the refs against OKC out of all of the top teams.

I said when the game started I couldn't believe the league would put Salvatore AND Tony Brothers on such an important game... we all know who the good, okay, bad and terrible refs are... You can't have those guys reffing such a game.

Go check the game thread when the game started... I called it was going to be gold entertainment with those refs... didn't disappoint.

[Sean Cagney]

Nash acting got them suspended, he said later he acted and flopped! What an idiot getting his own guys suspended for his flop! He should have just fell like a man and not an idiot shot out of a cannon and hit the scorers table. Pussy.

Did you want the league to not enforce the rules? They didn't go out of their way to help us. Just enforcing rules.

Oh yeah I know that the NBA has helped OKC. But lets not act like the Spurs haven't benefited either.

Historical? LMFAO, more like a 3pt barrage against SA last year in a few games. Are you serious historical yet nobody is talking about it but you? I am sure Lebron went to the line more than any player in those series.

4. In all of NBA playoff history, not just the Finals, no team has ever attempted fewer free throws in a seven-game series than Miami’s 118 against San Antonio. That sounds like a finesse team, and who ever thought Pat Riley, he of the bare-knuckle Knicks and the Alonzo Mourning Heat, would get behind something like that?

Awww the Heat were flat out robbed! The NBA is against Miami! They did not want them to win! Refs why? Come on man, they were a good team like the title says but not legendary, they just came at the right time in a watered down ass league.

You do realize that the Spurs entire defensive mindset is to not foul and they led the league last year in the least number of fouls committed during the regular season, right?

[Malik Hairston]

Yes, but if the league was rigged, how the fuck would the Miami Heat have shot the least amount of FTAs in a series in playoffs history?..

Calling a foul in an NBA game is extremely simple for a referee, there is physical contact on virtually any play..

He fouled him, people need to stop bitching. Yes, the rules are bullshit but he would have had 2 FTs over there if the right call was made. Clippers fucked up and choked, on to the next one.

And I don't think anyone is claiming last year's Finals were rigged.

lol They got taken to 7 games by the shitty ass hawks...they couldn't even win on the road, in fact I'm not sure if the Celtics won on the road up until the conference finals against the Pistons.

Most overrated coach in the league.

He will be fined big or even suspended though

:lol I'm not a Rivers fan at all, but anybody criticizing him for his comments is a flat out hater tbh.......

He acknowledged the Clippers choking the game away but nothing he said about the officials was incorrect tbh

Will be interesting to see if the league will fine its current flavor of the month over saying nothing but the truth.

Saying that the NBA is rigged is a gray area... we all know Tim Donaghy fixed games. But the real question is... how does the NBA determine who refs the games? It's obvious that the NBA has absolute control over who gets to ref the games, and for tonight's crucial game, they decided to allow 3 crappy refs to officiate the game. While there's no proof that the refs favor a certain team, it's nevertheless going to be a huge blunder of a game.

There are proofs of course, the whole game was bad officialized not just the last calls, like Spurs having a great lead over Portland (game 3) and refs trying to stop them with weird calls to help the Blazers making impossible to D Aldridge but SA was so on fire that won comfortably.
Clips were better but those weird calls hurt them and they lose the flame, made mistakes and thats it, so thanks to the refs OKC came back and won cheating every step (mostly from the FT line).

Did you also see Jordan's 6th foul?

[Sportstudi]

The refs were bad, but Doc should just keep his mouth shut. In every game he's constantly bitching and yelling to the refs while standing at the side line, yet he basically never gets T'd up for it. Can't really say I feel sorry for him. He's likely the least likeable coach out there right now. And I don't think the refs made Paul turning the ball over twice in the last minute or forced him to foul Westbrook.

So, you admit the league is rigged or the Spurs won that series legitimately?

[Seventyniner]

So the Clippers, with a 101-90 lead and over 3 minutes left, start milking the shot clock to 2 every possession and jacking up horrible jumpers at the last second.

And yet Rivers has the gall to complain about the refs? It never should have gotten to that point. Run your offense that got you to 101 and you win by 5.

Doc sounds dumb saying "I know my guy fouled him and they missed it, so since you missed it and can't review it give us the ball on the call you can review". It was the same damn play.

That logic doesn't hold water.


Should NFL refs start reversing calls because they noticed they missed a holding call while reviewing a play?

Exactly what I've been saying. From here on out, they better award the player that got fouled with the ball regardless of who touched it last because they just set that precedent last night.

This situation will come up again in a big moment in the playoffs and that call just fucked it up for all other crews.

then freebies.
