    I know this will be unpopular, but all three fouls on Zion were good calls.

    It's painful to me that the NBA refuses to hold refs accountable for substandard officiating. It just sucks, that the extent of the punishment/reprimanding these guy get is basically a last 2 minute report. Otherwise they're untouchable. Insanity.

    Clearly our players are frustrated with the officiating.

    That was literally the exact same block Zion made, only they didn't call a foul that time.

    That Achilles cost him big time. It's a shame that he's only a shell of his past greatness.

    Cousins needs to smoke some herb and chill. They aren't testing I believe now.

    I agree. Don't get me wrong, I know that I'd do no better: the game moves so fast and these guys can get extremely physical and border the rules all the time and there are constant judgment calls. Put me in as a ref and I'd mess up just as bad, if not much much worse. Not trying to pretend they have an easy job.

    But at the same time, the fact that we all know what I mean when I say that tonight is just a 'ref game' is a problem. It shouldn't be common to the point of cliche that we just expect, a handful of times a year, for the refs to decide that actually this game is about them. But it is: at least 3 or 4 games a year will become The Ref Game, where the officiating will be so out of whack that nobody who actually appreciates fairness can watch it without being irritated. They start giving fouls to one team for stuff they'd never call on the other side, they start yapping to the players themselves, they start reviewing every damn thing for no reason (despite never changing their calls when they do), etc, to the point where the game becomes more Reffing than playing and it annoys everyone.

    The fact that we all know that is a sign of a problem.

    I appreciate how much the bench is chipping in tonight.

    21 points on 10/19 shooting combined (52.6%) is more than we've had from them in some entire games this year

    I agree.

    Bledsoe wouldn't do any better on Wall, but Lonzo would do better off-ball being a disruptor, so if the Bledsoe/Ball-on-Wall tradeoff isn't that high then why not go for the off-ball value increase?

    Zach Zarba losing money on this game and it's great to see. The Mob's not gonna be happy though

    These refs are either shady or incompetent.

    I never heard of looking too see who the shooter was.

    First half mini-stat breakdown

    Zion: 10pts, 1rbd, 4asts, 2 stls on 2/2 shooting, 6/6 from the line in 7 minutes
    Ingram: 9/3/2 on 4/7 shooting (1/3 from 3)
    Adams: 6/4 with 2 stls on 3/6 shooting
    Lonzo: 7/4/1 on 2/6 shooting (1/2 from 3)
    Bledsoe: 5/1/4 with 1stl on 1/6 shooting (1/4 from 3)

    Off the bench: Kira with 4pts 1ast on 1/3 shooting in 4 minutes
    12pts/8rbds for Hart: he is leading the team in minutes with 22 in the first half. Also leading the team in shot attempts (11)

    We're up, 63-50

    Hard not to with this officiating.

    Reminds me a lot of the Jazz game last year where we ended up losing on that Rudy foul

  22. #72
    Personal Fouls

    Houston: 10
    New Orleans: 11

    Free Throws Attempted

    Houston: 11 (one was a technical)
    New Orleans: 12

    Looks pretty even to me.

    We need to do it more often. So many teams get away with coercing the officials while we stand by with our thumbs up our butts. Gotta add that bit of snide

    A lot of the best players in the NBA are constantly in dialogue with officials. They're playing a tough game because sometimes the officials get sick of your face after a while, but Lebron, Kyle Lowry, CP3, Draymond, KD, Harden, they're constantly in the officials face talking to them. It's good practice.

    Im genuinely surprised at how much worse Bled has been on-ball here than in Milwaukee. Wonder if that has anything to do with the scheme he played in and having two top shelf anchors on his team (Giannis and Lopez)?
