Suns @ Lakers Tuesday game thread, 12-5-2023 - West Quarterfinal, In-Season Tournament

[BirdGangThing]

I think a few people are going to get fined tonight in the post game interviews

 

[Chaplin]

Nba got what they wanted. Makes up for the pacers win.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

You don't get it. Suns played poorly but they played poorly within the rules. This officiating is tantamount to cheating.

So ridiculous.

 

[Hoop Head]

Dude this board is ridiculous with the ref whining. Every close game it’s because of the refs.

20 TURNOVERS

Did you watch the final 2 minutes? Come on. I'm not one to call out the refs but this was Tim Donaghy bad.

 

[Mainstreet]

And a look at some final stats.

The referees should be included in the boxscore.

[Phrazbit]

Can't turn the ball over 20 times and expect to win... but, fudge these refs. What a joke.

 

[Chaplin]

So ridiculous.

YOU SAW THE GAME! How do you explain it?

 

[jbjarko]

That was the worst reffed game in any sport I’ve seen in some time.

 

[FB94]

Christ NBA officials make Angel Hernandez look competent. NBA commissioner needs to start firing some of these idiots.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Even your unborn baby can see those calls.

You guys have zero ability to watch suns games objectively. There are always bad calls they go both ways. Sometimes they seem heavily lopsided. Tonight didn’t feel that way. But go ahead and wail away. It’s the suns fans inferiority complex at play. We couldn’t overcome the lakers. They’re a bad matchup for us. They have been when Davis and Lebron play.

 

[jbjarko]

****. Competition my ass.

 

[unseenaz]

I love Book, but is he developing a reputation of not showing up when the game matters? 21 points on 6 of 16 shooting… 7 turnovers… not good enough

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Even your unborn baby can see those calls.

Btw, “unborn baby?” Wtf?

 

[Chris_Sanders]

So ridiculous.

In the last 30 seconds there was a clear take foul that would have tied the game and a clear illegal timeout that would have tied the game.

That's just 30 seconds. That doesn't get into the litany of calls before that.

Lol

You aren't the poster boy at being a fan. That officiating was awful. Period.

 

[Hoop Head]

Nurkic was hacked, no call. Take foul by Reddish on Booker, refs dont know what that is. Then the phantom timeout. Each time the Suns had a chance to pull ahead, the refs gave the game back to the Lakers. This was disgusting.

You must be registered for see images attach

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Part of 20 turnovers occurs because you can mug the ball handler at the top of the key.

Literally no one agrees with you.

Then everyone isn’t very smart. We literally throw the ball away over and over again. Not a single non Suns nba fan would agree with you guys.

And it happened 10+ times this game.

Nice Ouchie.

Come on ouchie. Check twitter. Everyone is livid.

Literally the first result in the search

[Sunburn]

Reaves has a terribly easy face to punch.

This is said a lot about Devin. Stop normalizing this crap.

 

[FB94]

That was the worst reffed game in any sport I’ve seen in some time.

NBA officiating is the worst in sports period and it’s not even close. I will never change my mind on this. What is the grading criteria they are held to if at all. Some of these guys needs to be fired or NBA commissioner needs to step up and address this crap show most every night.

 

[jbjarko]

This is said a lot about Devin. Stop normalizing this crap.

I disagree. But okay.
