That was one of the weirdest things I ever saw on a basketball court. Next to Draymond tossing bodies into the air like an ECW event and the refs think everything is just fine on all accounts.
Holy crap-snack. Now is there a way to pull up how the officials call each team...

NBA.com posts ref assignments for each game in the morning
Restricted Area Block/Charge Review
Since the 2012-13 season, referees have reviewed all block/charge calls when they are not reasonably certain as to whether the defender was inside or outside of the restricted area. For more information about what cons utes a block or a charge, click here). Restricted area replays are conducted only during the last two minutes of the fourth period and during all of overtime.
When conducting their review, referees attempt to confirm or overturn their original call.
The call is deemed a block if referees deem the defender was:
- Not in a legal guarding position, or
- In a legal guarding position, but inside the restricted area
- The call is deemed a charge if the defender was in a legal guarding position and outside the restricted area.
So basically they are allowed to review it, but it's not like the NFL where they can ONLY look at if his feet were outside the circle. There's no restriction. They're supposed to look at everything in an attempt to get the call right. If Curry had position I'd be okay with reviewing it but he took the contact in his shoulder. Where his feet are doesn't mean anything at that point, and you'd think a group of people whose sole purpose in life is to get those calls right would know that.
The only thing scarier than them ing up that and the blatant double dribble by Curry is that they issued an official statement saying that they got the calls right. That's seriously ed up.
I'll be damned. Good find. I had no idea. "Legal guarding position" is subjective, so it still doesn't sit well with me. Why not review illegal screens and everything else in the last two minutes? Better still, how about lane violations? That would be fun - and it's not even subjective. Yeah, let's review every FT in the last two minutes, to see if there were any lane violations.
All of these over the top rules is why the game is so hard to call, and why officials almost always look like the most stupid people in the building.
And the trigger is supposed to be if they're checking his feet. He wasn't anywhere close to being on the line, so this smacks of an excuse to just change the call, which is monumentally ed up.
This. So much this. Make every remotely questionable block/charge a block, encourage so-so defenders to either try for the shot block or get the out of the way. They made all these rule changes to open up the offense and make the game exciting, but instead you have second-rate defenders stepping under people while they're in the air and being rewarded for it.
yeah, you should
at the non call on Lance last shot..meanwhile Green is hacking the out of opposing players with disregard to elementary rules of the game..
the league, media, and down to refs are invested in their narrative...
Why should you worry about the refs? All these guys play for the same owner (Adam Silver). If the Rock is supposed to win this one, don't worry that the ref might be looking at something going on near the other corner when Stone Cold comes sliding under the bottom rope with a chair and takes out Michaels.
I mean seriously, if you guys think this is all rigged, why do you watch? Everyone's getting paid either way and if it's just a production for your enjoyment and to monetize the action to the highest bidding fan base, why watch? I don't watch WWE.
Just embarrassing as a basketball fan... Hard to even watch right now.yeah, you should
the league, media, and down to refs are invested in their narrative...
The no-call when Gaymond fouled Vince a minute earlier was even worse.
Because.
Wait are Spurs fans going to ignore that A REF ADMITTED TO RIGGING GAMES FOR THEM IN THE PLAYOFFS?!?!?! LMFAO
Any gif of the play yet?
Arms extended moving screens make it much easier to play basketball for the Rainbow Warriors. Call it the Curry Rules authored by Disney. BTW ESPN and Disney are bleeding cash and having a "Great" NBA team is needed to help monetize their poor business deal with the NBA.
This is so dumb tho, and not even close to comparable... NBA players aren't acting out a script. That's naive if you don't think certain teams get favorable calls at certain times. This golden state team has been getting the treatment for the majority of the past 2 seasons, but they've been getting some really embarrassing calls/no-calls as they struggle down the stretch here. Privately, I couldn't even be proud of it if I were them tbh.
There's nothing you can do about it, you just play your best and try to overcome it. We've done it plenty of times... but it's definitely a real issue.
It's not the first time. They've been helping them all year, but mostly since the ASB. GS has been sluggish, but the officials have stepped up and been ultra efficient and instrumental in some of their wins. Was a total team effort
The issue is that the Worriers aren't a team that draw shooting fouls but they get away w/ BLATANT fouls so the only thing that should be relevant is that "non-calls". The league only releases a review of the final 2-minutes so it's impossible to determine a call for a non-call that the league would acknowledge BEFORE the 2 minute mark.
JVG called out the refs during the last meeting on ABC & said Kawhi has to call his own fouls. (not to mention the phantom offensive fouls) ass Ronnie Nunn is like a defense lawyer & will claim Draymond never committed a foul even if he clothlines a player at center court:
