    Hey Guys just wondering if anybody had the same reaction to this play.

    Context is LMA had just made a nice sideways pullup midrange over Donkey Breath who had bodied him.

    Durbetta tries a banker that misses, Golden gets the lucky loose ball rebound and it comes out top again to Donkey. Donkey swings it to Durbetta, Bertans closes to contest the shot. Camera does not show it, maybe maybe Bertie grazes the gots right arm. Barely if at all. We won't know because TBS does no replay. Instead Marv Albert blathering about what a good FT shooter Derbetta is.

    Body language of Bertie is like there was no contact at all. I know NBA players will act like they never foul, but this one seems very genuine. Likewise, Durbettas body language is like he is adjusting his tampon with relief, knowing he has been bailed out yet again.

    While only one play and the Spurs and Hall of Nothing coach did plenty to produce the L, i thought the play was huge in the momentum dept. The Young Spurs were gonna take this game.
    As to the "ya, superstars get the calls" ah bull and . Timmy Duncan get that call? Nope. Kawhi get that call vs the Golden gots? Nope.

    It's like Golden State, especially the Twinke Twins Curry and Durbetta have quite some time ago reached Kobme Laker levels of calls. Games are definitely being changed.

    Can't whine about a call here or there in a game (of many this season) the boys maybe should have won. What separates the teams that "should have" won versus the teams that actually win defines greatness.




    Except in 2002 and 2007

    They did the same during the Laker golden years. Everytime they called a foul on Los Angeles - multiple replays with different angles. Slo-mo. The works.

    Yea, the networks love to show replays of forgettable plays from the possession before the BS play, too. The NBA loves their slight of hand.

    I have noticed it more in the last few years the NBA does this a lot on nationally televised games. I remember in the past during nationally televised games they would actually show the replay of the bad foul.

    Semi stunner tonight when they showed one replay of Fathead getting wrung up on Bin Kardashian for what looked like potentially no contact whatsoever.

    Of course they only showed on angle, completely inconclusive at that. Then rolled onto more babbling without showing another view.

    Minute or so later and Bryn High School did foul Harden. Re ed foul. So of course they run that replay back twice, 2nd time freezing it when he touched Hardens vag.

    Too many cooks in the kitchen upstairs. Producers on headsets calling the shots. Not saying is Donaghy rigged, but they definitely butter up certain teams (big market) with the announcers and camera crew. That's not really a revelation though, more like common knowledge. Pop declared war on these people a long time ago so we will always be last in line.
