Golden State Screwed by the Refs

[sammy]

This was a travesty! The officiating gave this game to Utah! What a shame and travesty! Disgraceful, but I should've known Salvatore was in the picture! All of the calls against Golden State in the 3rd quarter and these basterad on Utah were physical and fouling hard all night and no call! Fucking bullshit! This is worse officiating I've seen since the assholes who officiated the Spurs! Ridiculous! Great season Golden State! No problem these asshole won't go far either! :bang

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Ken Mauer bought the AK47 flop hook, line, and sinker. That was a Jerry Sloan special.

[gilmor]

Better worry about ourselves first.. I am not sure Spurs can get through the WCF

[Obstructed_View]

Thanks. I guess I'll go erase the recording of the game off my PVR. Do you know what the fucking NBA forum is, douchebag?

[word]

Another tainting ...

[Obstructed_View]

Tainted my Tivo. Fuckers.

[word]

I hate Tivo-tainting.

[Tek_XX]

Taint is the word of the day

[T Park]

Yeah Im sure the NBA is clamoring for a Utah San Antonio WCF :lmao

Golden State lost that one with their bad shot selection.

[Tek_XX]

Golden State was still the 8th seed

[bigFUNDAMENTAL]

WCF: Spurs Vs Jazz.

[The_Worlds_finest]

no no you have it all wrong bigfunda its Spurs+Refs+David Stern+ jason kidds sons head Vs Jazz

[Mr. Body]

GSW was gonna lose anyway, but the NBA seriously needs to fix its refs. They suck.

That's part of it, but they still had chance, down by 4 with plenty of time and they started shooting 3's.

[NorCalJazzFan]

Golden State lost that game because they cant rebound or score inside when it counts.

Plus they live and die with the 3 and play on emotion......SJax is a hot head and Barnes might be one of the most dirty players in the game.

It was a great series but the better team won.

actually, deron williams nearly gave the warriors the win, stop bitching about the officiating...congrats jazz on getting to the wcf!

seriously though, the warriors had a great first round series and deserve some kudos, they'll be back next year, congrats to them too, stay healthy.

[Shaolin-Style]

That AK flop was hilarious. Killed any dim hope they had with adding on another point and getting rid of whats his name.

[Extra Stout]

David Stern is close to that Spurs-Jazz WCF he has clamored for. Mormons and lower-middle-class Hispanics in small markets are the two key demographics the NBA is chasing this season.

I agree if the Warriors can address the rebounding and stay healthy next season they will be higher then an 8th seed. They were great to watch. Now lets see who gets to play Utah in the WCF.

Oh yeah remember that davis elbow to fisher's head ...

this thread started as a joke ... and still is a joke.
the series ended the way the series was meant to end: with a Utah win and a golden state meltdown. in a game where the outcome was almost as predictable as a golden state offensive gameplan, they still had countless opportunities to be heading back to oakland down 3-2 and prisoners let lose in the stands. You can start with the jazz shooting 21-33 from the freethrow line including a 0-6 stretch during a heated 5-10 minute stint; 25 utah turnovers and almost 30 points as a result of. yet they were only down a few points midway through the deciding quarter until fisher took over. you can even blame the 6-30 from the arc. GS was definitely in that game but averages caught up with them. when it mattered, utah went inside and abused the warriors in the paint on offensive rebounds, put backs, one and dones on the defensive end. the game ended for all intents and purposes on a andrei kirilenko steal to seal it. but dont pine over that, think on the fact that Utah pounded the the "warriors" by 24 on the glass, by more than 14 on the offensive end. think about how the structured offense of jerry sloan allowed tested veteran like derek fisher to hit three after three; hammering each nail deeper into golden states coffin. the won it playing the game the way it was meant to be played. and thats all anyone will ever take fro this series going forward.

just another nellie team going down in the playoffs the same way every time.


"That's the way close-out games should be. They're going to let you play. They're going to let you earn it. And we earned it,'' said Utah's Carlos Boozer, who had 21 points and 14 rebounds.

its called playoff basketball for a reason. if you cant play through it and earn it then you dont deserve it.

[DarrinS]

Did the refs force GS to throw up bricks? Just curious.

[nkdlunch]

Golden State sucks gimme a break

Warriors had no "winning" base to fall back on--Davis & Jefferson were money in the first series, but couldn't connect in the 2nd. Monta showed his youth by pretty much sucking most of the post season. And in the end, for all his clutchness and surprising worth, Barnes lost his cool with an ejection. Not to mention all of the emotional turmoil reminiscent of an inexperienced team. The refs had no choice but to keep a tight reign on the play, GS was subject to violence of massive proportions!

Nellie gets kudos for keeping the ship together as long as he did, AND for leading his team to knocking the #1 seed to the moon in spite of all of the above.

[NBA Junkie]

Utah gave the Warriors every chance to win the game by missing 6 consecutive FT's during GS' late third-early fourth meltdown, but the Warriors just couldn't execute while only being down a few points for several minutes.

Golden State lost because they would rather shoot a 3 pointer on a 4-2 fastbreak than get an easy layup. I can't blame them. When they did have a 2-1 fastbreak and they tried to get a layup, the pass was stolen. :lol

They played completely the opposite of how they beat Dallas. Instead of driving, pounding the ball, and making defensive plays all over the place, they played passive and shot a lot of 3s.

As the old cliche goes- A teams greatest strength can also be its greatest weakness.

[Shank]

The refs shot 6/30 from 3 and took away Golden State's patented 13-point play that would have tied it up at the end of regulation.

[bulletedge]

Davis, Jackson & Barnes simply revealed what they really are- a bunch of playground ballers who get hot every once in a while.

Look for them to have a lackluster season next year as they continue to devolve into chaos while Nellie drowns his sorrows in beer prior to his next retirement and retreat back to hawaii.

[Fromthebleachers]

i think the funniest play of the entire post season was when barnes tried to drive and draw a foul on AK on a 1 on none fastbreak hahahahahah that was absolutely priceless.

Live by the 3, die by the 3. The Warriors f-ed themselves with their shot selection down the stretch

:blah :lol :lol :lol :lol

[FlyHigh07]

GS was jus a bigass rotten mistake dis year. Dallas is the true champions. I don't care what y'all say. You know it too. Therefore I predict Utah or Phoenix 2b Champions.
