I have been watching the NBA for 30+ years. NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE SEEN WHAT BALD FUCK PULLED TONIGHT.
Down 2 - Durant shot the first free throw to make it a 1 point game and just as he was about to shoot the 2nd BALDY runs in and grabs the ball because the scoreboard operator had not put the 5th foul on the big board.
Of course took Durant out of rhythm...He missed it. :facepalm
Who the fuck interrupts a FT's shooter at home down 1 to make a big board correction that could have easily been done after the FT.
He is the most corrupt fuck behind good ole TIM D.
Dead on.... Just another reason why TIM DONAGHY N HIS BOOK IS PROVEN.... POOR GUY.... I ALWAYS KNEW HE GOT RAILROADED OUT.... BUT WRITING THAT BOOK, WAS THE BIGGEST F.U. TO STERN AND THE ORGANIZATION AS A WHOLE (especially the "fairness" and "legitimacy of games" in playoffs especially....) I believe GOLDEN STATE WINS TONIGHT ALSO... MEMPHIS WAS GIVEN AN AWFUL LOT OF HELP AFTER BLOWING THAT 20 PT LEAD LATE 3rd QTR.... An offensive foul against OKC after getting a ticky tack foul called on OKC putting Mem on the line and then making 2 FT's (they hadn't hit a bucket all 4th qtr 5 or 6 min in if I remember right), put MEM up to where they broke up that 18-4 run....
If you go back line by line through the plays, you can see it alot more than if you watch the video, HOW GAMES ARE TOTALLY BIASED... I knew after Mem was called 5 more fouls than OKC going into the 4th qtr, that things would "magically change FOUL WISE" benefitting MEM... 3 fouls were comitted by OKC (1 away from the ball), IN 14 seconds during the 2nd minute of the 4th qtr.... OKC had hit a bucket and ON THAT SERIES BY MEM HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED FOR EXAMPLE:
11:16
[OKC 72-76] Durant Jump Shot: Made (18 PTS) Assist: Westbrook (8 AST)
11:00 Ibaka Foul: Personal (2 PF)
11:00 Ibaka Substitution replaced by Collison
10:53 Collison Foul: Personal (3 PF)
10:46 Jackson Foul: Personal (3 PF)
AND THEN BOTH TEAMS DO NOTHING AS IN SCORING UNTIL FINALLY OKC HITS ITS 3 N 4TH POINTS ON A BUCKET BY BUTLER WITH 8:10 REMAINING PUTTING IT 76-74 (PRIOR TO THAT YOU SEE THAT ANOTHER (4TH FOUL OF QTR) IS COMMITTED BY COLLISION... AFTER THAT HUGE 4-0 RUN IN 4+ MINUTES BY OKC, CRAWFORD AND THE REF CREW KNOW MEM IS IN TROUBLE AND HITS BUTLER WITH ANOTHER FOUL RIGHT AFTER HITTING THE BUCKET.... OKC HAS NOW COMMITTED 5 FOULS AND MEM BEGINS TO HAVE A CHANCE OF STAYING IN THE GAME ANYTIME THE REFS NEED EM TO BECAUSE THEY ARE IN THE BONUS AT THE FUCKING 7:43 POINT..... 5 FOULS TO MEM'S 1 OR 2 THAT QTR (I THINK 2)... HERE IS THIS PART OF THE GAME I JUST TALKED ABOUT:
09:15 Collison Foul: Personal (4 PF)
09:15 Jackson Substitution replaced by Fisher
Gasol Turnover : 3 Second Violation (1 TO) 08:55
08:55
Lee Substitution replaced by Randolph 08:55
08:42 Durant Turnover : Out of Bounds Lost Ball Turnover (4 TO)
Randolph Jump Shot: Missed 08:23
08:22 Westbrook Rebound (Off:5 Def:4)
08:15 Westbrook Pullup Jump shot: Missed
08:13 Butler Rebound (Off:2 Def:0)
08:10
[OKC 74-76] Butler Driving Layup Shot: Made (11 PTS)
07:43 Butler Foul: Personal (1 PF) (2 FTA)
Miller Free Throw 1 of 2 (12 PTS) 07:43
[MEM 77-74]
Miller Free Throw 2 of 2 (13 PTS) 07:43
[MEM 78-74]
WHEN YOU SEE THIS ON PAPER, YOU CAN SEE T. DONAGHY AND HIS BOOK (IMO) IS DEAD ON... THIS IS WHY I AM DOING AS WELL AS I DO CONSISTENTLY ENOUGH I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT TOO MUCH WHEN I STAY DISCIPLINED AND PLAY ONLY NBA 2nd HALVES... EVER WONDER WHY I SEEM TO BE "LUCKY" SO OFTEN WITH 2ND HALVES???? BECAUSE I SEEM TO FORM AN OPINION BY HALFTIME ON WHAT THE REFS WANT TO HAVE HAPPEN BECAUSE THE WERE TOLD TO BEFORE THE GAME STARTED....
I know that many people think I'm crazy and so be it... Bet against me; or go with me... but don't tell Fabulous that TFresh is an idiot for SEEING THE BLATANT OBVIOUS "ICING".... COINCIDENCE??? TOO MANY THIS GAME AND SO SO MANY PRIOR... ESPECIALLY WITH #1 GOTO MAN BY D. STERN FOR DECADE+... (all talked about how CRAWFORD IS SPECIFICALLY PICKED TO REF PIVOTAL GAMES AT PIVOTAL TIMES TO EXTEND OR END SERIES)..... OKC only hope to win was to beat CRAWFORD n his CRONIES AND MEM GRIZZ tonight....
T FRESH, I back your statements 100%!!! I so understand.... I hope you benefited from it too....
