This team is bad as it is, no need for the refs to help, tbh...

[ElNono]

I rarely complain about the refs, and there's a lot of reasons for losing a close game, but it's patently ridiculous how the team goes on the road and gets shafted night in and out, and then comes home and same thing...

It's not like the league is supposed to win anything by propping up a vanilla team like the Grizzlies, tbh...

No offense to the many (one?) Memphis fans here, but between the rule changes and this shit, it's annoying as fuck, tbh

[hater]

Team played well tbqh

No reason to be down

Griz are a good team. Sure refs fucked up the last play but it probably balanced out in the end

But last foul was a trrible mistake. You dont call that foul on last second ever.

Hopefully pop or aomeone will shit on the refs but guys played well and time to move on

Team is doing ok with the talent they have

Cant make a 3 leches cake with tomatoes

[RD2191]

.500 teams don't deserve the whistle

[sananspursfan21]

Game was blacked out and plans prevented me from watching game. But scoreboard watched. Something told me when it was 102-103 that a last second bucket would happen. That’s just the way this season is going tbh

[Bynumite]

Rudy Faggot clearly bumped Gasol tbh imho. Lasoft is just a soft jump shooting chucker, that's why he gets no respect. Big for nothing bum.

[JakeCuenca]

Spurs dont have superstar clout anymore. So the calls are almost always against them.

[TDMVPDPOY]

u know whose bad? that pos patty

as for forbes, for all the bs he gets from the clowns on here, at leasts he puts in 110% even when u know his not nba talent, at leasts he never gives up when he knows he fck up a play...unlike that other turd

[timvp]

I've never seen anyone get that call Gasol got with less than a minute to go. That's a no-call 999 times out of a 1000.

Aldridge's shot was worthy of a no-call in usual circumstances ... but not when the other team was gifted an iffy call on the other end.

Oh well.

[Hoops Czar]

Guys, relax, it's only November. Regular season games are meaningless. Spurs are traditionally slow starters and I know it looks bad but the Spurs are only four games from the #1 seed.

Sure but our guys played well

This is a loss you just move on from immediately.

That being said, Conley shoots well in this game and we lose by 25

Our record is pretty accurate for the talent we have.

That’s exactly how I explained it to my uncle as we walked out of the game. Refs, you’re going to make that call on Gay, fine. But be consistent and don’t swallow the whistles on the other end. And yes, no good ref should decide the game on the line, it should be decided by makes and misses by players.

Bullshit end to a really poorly reffed game. Some bad calls happen in every game but the bad calls in this game were at critical, momentum changing times. This crew should be disciplined or demoted.

[Budkin]

Rudy Faggot clearly bumped Gasol tbh imho. Lasoft is just a soft jump shooting chucker, that's why he gets no respect. Big for nothing bum.

Even if Rudy bumped him you don’t call that at the buzzer, especially not at home. It just doesn’t happen.

[Hoops Czar]

Actually, they've overacheived by quite a bit. This roster is quite possibly one of the worst in the league.

[TDMVPDPOY]

mavs got that call in elimination game to finals against the spurs, actually that whole series was a load of bullshit how the refs kept on bailing them out with last possession plays to win game or send to ot....

[ElNono]

Guys, relax, it's only November.

this, IMVHO.

But then again, if you can't get a friendly whistle at home, might aswell tank all the way.

[RD2191]

Tbh. I was going over the roster earlier and man, it's full of shit. :lol

[Mugen]

Yeah L is on the refs but can we acknowledge Pop having Demar inbounding the ball there, lmao so trash

[JeffDuncan]

That 18 pt 3rd quarter is what hurt. But still, the officiating was a disgrace. Lots of bad calls all game.

[Bill_Brasky]

That was a joke. It was rigged.

Disagree completely

We have Derozan who would be a great 2nd banana on any team

And Gay a top shelf role player

And the rest are overall average

We are a 10th seed on any conference thus a 45% team

Our record indicates that

Smh.gif

Dont know what to say. He looks and smells like a bitch niga. Dont know what is his problem.

We ended up with 2 headcases in Kawhiter and Lamarsha

Bad luck

Thats why I say Derozan is a good trade. At least this niga is not a headcase

The Spurs have two pseudo all stars that put up numbers but don't actually make the team better.

There is nothing average about Belinelli, Forbes, Mills, Bertans, Poodle, White, Pondexter and Cunninham. They're scrubs.

They could easily have just three wins on the season. They're very lucky to be breathing that 10th seeded air and they should enjoy it while they can because I'm afraid it won't last long.

[SAGirl]

Let me just putting it this way. You are deciding a game with a heave from 3 from Aldridge... that was no way to win a game. He’s not a 3 pt shooter that had no chance to go in much like a similar heave he made in Portland last year...

Spurs have overall average players and a decent 2nd banana

Lamarsha is a dissapointment we should be a bit better if he found his balls

Our record is accurate

Pop should be shopping for a coffin so he can bury his career that died the moment Duncan retired.

[CitizenDwayne]

That was a W, Spurs come out pissed next game. They know they got fucked. Chill, everybody

[JeffDuncan]

Nonsense. DDR is top tier talent (even if the Spurs don't know how to use him.)


And Gay a top shelf role player

Gay is a starter. And he is an all-around player, not a specialist.

90% of people who use the term "role player" don't know what it means, except it has something to do with basketball. Bertans is a role player. A role player provides a certain function, such as 3pt shooting in Bertans' case.


And the rest are overall average

It would help if they were that good.

Forbes, who starts at the point for us, is a backup shooting guard. He is well below average at the position he is playing.

Mills is properly only a role player, another 3pt specialist. He is not an average NBA player.

Belinelli, again, a role player, a 3pt specialist. And an inferior one this season.

One could go through the rest of it, but it gets depressing. The Spurs roster is outright weird.

But other teams have their troubles as well, so we'll see how it goes.

Just fucking god awful officiating.

I miss Joey.

What trash officiating in 2018 NBA.

[Spurs Homer]

Fat Gasol should have fouled out twice with as many calls as he was getting.
If the call against Gay was a foul - the call they let go against Gasol at the buzzer was a harder foul.

Just garbage officiating that ruined a great game played by both teams.

[Indianman]

Gentle reminder that even the Celtics(who have one of the best rosters) are 9-9

[RD2191]

Yeah, but the celtics actually have talent. So a turnaround wouldn't be all that surprising. The spurs have a roster full of shit so we know a turnaround isn't coming.

[TimDunkem]

As much as I love trashing the Spurs ( or any team) when they choke, I can't do it here. That was fucked up.

I seriously don't know what a foul is anymore.

[Indianman]

That qualifies you to officiate an NBA game in 2018. Congratulations!

Had any sniper, Davis, Mills, Bryn, whomever gotten fouled I’d be upset but Aldridge on a heave. That was a shot that wasn’t going to go in. Period. Stupid unnecessary Gasol controversial foul that probably backfire on the Grizzlies somewhere else. It was unnecessary. Aldridge wasn’t going to make that shot.

[siraulo23]

I havent complained about the refs for a long time, but that shit was stupid

How could you call that foul on Gay but swallow the whistle on the last shot? :lol

definitely deserves a r:lolefs

Agree with the confusion over the play section at the end. pop overthinking it. Just run DeMar off a double screen with Forbes, Mills, Beli or Bert as backups and if they double somebody, one will be open. Why they had LMA take any shot not at the rim or even his usual 15-20ft range there was bad play calling IMO.


And of course it was a foul. But LMA wasn’t going to make a 26 foot 3 to win the game.

I can't rewatch the last play because of the terrible no call. But it appeared it was a back cut for Gay. Gasol sat back which allowed LMA room. Gasol aggressively challenged the shot. With point seven on the clock, if you get an open look anywhere square to the basket, you take it.

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

it sucks bc the refs scarfed the spurs 3 best players with those 2 calls:

1 - gay's foul on gasol
2 - lma's no-call by gasol
3 - negating DDR's beautiful clutch jumper with the bs free throws

To make one call and not the other is what makes it so infuriating. That’s a big loss.

[Strategic]

All this team needs is a solid 1st and 2nd option

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

It'd be best if they just miss the playoffs this year. Not like they have a chance anyways if they cannot win on the road

[therealtruth]

That's the reason he's a former DPOY. Also the refs probably give him more leeway because of that.

[MultiTroll]

Sick of the "it's a foul in the 1st qtr but not at end of game" bullshit.
Hey here's an idea. Call them fairly regardless of the point in time of the game.

Foul on Rudy (clear contact when Gasol getting ready to shoot) and clear foul on Gasol during/after LMAs shot.

[phxspurfan]

The NBA ruled 3 incorrect calls on the refs in the 4th quarter of the Memphis game this Wednesday. All were to the detriment of your Los Spurs. Including the foul on LMA to end the game.

https://ak-static.cms.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2018/11/L2M-MEM-SAS-11-21-2018.pdf

Of course, no accountability, just a random pdf that nobody but die hard Spurs fans read.



And out of curiosity, here is one report of total incorrect calls (and non calls) on all teams last year. Spurs are middle of the pack.

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/which-nba-team-is-wronged-by-the-refs-the-most/

Worriers, of course, have 100% incorrect non calls, and 0 "bad calls" (i.e. 100% of their numbers that made them "middle of the pack" were inconsequential post game bulllshit lines added to the pdfs to make it seem like they aren't heavily favored by the refs every game).
