WMC 24-25: Free Threw It Away!

well we all knew this one was going to end in an L

need to close it out next game or GS is winning the series

 

F the refs man, we weren’t winning this one no matter what.

 

yeah, refs didn't beat us, but would have.

i've been done with those guys for a long time. it's a commentary on society that they're the top "analysts" out there. barkley's crusade against AD is getting weird, too. insecure much? go dry out and get over the fact that you never got a ring.

 

I have no complaint with any of our players’ performances last night. The refs decided they were gonna let Golden State beat the h*** outta us and there’s nothing they could do about it.

 

Exhibit A through Z of everything wrong with NBA commentary these days. Aren't they the number one NBA show?

Shameful...

 

As mentioned in the game thread last night, pretty much knew the deal with the refs after Lebron got that 5 second whistle. They were also hot from outside.

Hate watching us lose but that was not a shocking outcome.

 

My WMC is we never were able to get over the hump against them. We got it under 10 with 6 min to go and I believe Reaves and Walker both missed shots to cut it to 6. If we had been able to do that I believed the Warriors would of folded.

Now, we were fighting uphill all game. GS has been allowed to be extra physical with our guys all series. Last night every one of our players got hit in the head/face at some point in the game. We were attacking the paint and not getting the calls. We blew assignments and missed to many shots but, and I've said this before, officiating in the right places be it intentional or not can truly effect a games outcome. There was a sequence late in the game where AD had the ball on the low wing and GS was just standing in the paint for like 10 seconds of the play. AD attacks and I believe gets fouled or misses but I remember thinking that we should of had the "T" when points matter most.

Draymond is getting away with murder! His abuse on the refs is shocking even the Vangundy was like "no other player is getting away with this!" He should have been ejected out of EVERY game this series yet I think he has gotten T'd up once. He has pulled AD down at least twice each game, ran Reaves over with and elbow which apparently Reaves face made the foul and has gotten superstar treatment all series long. That might be what pisses me off the most is what they are letting Draymond get away with.

 

That 5 sec call was an absolute joke. I was like "this is going to be uphill all game for us" after that call on LEBRON no less.

 

Yeah. That was one of those that just instantly sent a message.

 

There are people thinking that was a fairly reffed game because there wasn’t a big free throw disparity… like what?! Thats not how that works!!

 

made some good runs but couldnt sustain it towards end of 2nd qtr and end of 3rd qtr.....they recovered very well from the gsw start and as well as the 3rd qtr. Disappointing end for AD, he was on his way to pretty decent gm but very careless with the ball and Draymond seems to have gotten to him in that gm as they were jawing at each other

 

Hopefully Crypto is loud in game 6. I think the expensive tickets are keeping the die hards out cause it's much quieter than it was vs Memphis.

And Reaves got a palming on a bucket. Curry and Poole don't get that called on them though, right?

 

I dont know who is a SAS fan, one of the worse and most annoying ESPN analyst hands down, to me anyway. When he goes full loud mouth he sounds like a middle schooler who cant win the argument so resorts to stupid comments and being the loudest

 

I think refs did give 1 to curry in gm 3 or 4

 

Oh yeah. That was more craziness. They palm all the time.

 

The other day, SAS was out, and they had Legler, Redick, and J-Will together, and it was great, they talked actual basketball.

There's far worse than even SAS though, the nut low is Mad Dog, I don't know why he's on or who likes him, I would say he's there for Redick to destroy, but he pre-dates Redick and is on far too often.
