CK3: Livin da Nug life, we break em down & smoke em: Denver Nuggets vs Your Boss Angeles Lakers

[Flex Luger]

The difference in this series has been the good play of Dwight Howard and the pitiful play of Mason Plumlee. Outside of those 2 they’re pretty even

And superstar big scoring 0 points in the 4th quarter of 2 games

bytched to the media right after a game and sent footage to the league but it’s okay when anybody but the Lakers do it huh

Bron looked worn the fukk out last night.That lil defensive stretch on Murray really redeemed him towards the end.

On offense, everything looked broken.I don't even think he was trying to get buckets.He turned poor man's James Harden.

I think his whole game plan was to draw fouls and get to the FT line.That was definitely a "I just don't have it today, breh"


game for him.Denver better come out extra resilient.I can't see him coming out with low energy like that in back to back games.

Nuggets have had more foul calls, same amount of fts but refs

 

[Cynical Thoughts]

I'm hardly definitive. And I frequently say when calls are missed, but I try to figure out WHY they were missed. Is usually positioning, guessing, etc. Very few calls that people debate are definitive. The LeBron/Murray call isn't either. Nearly any defender who made the play LeBron made would think it was clean...and nearly every offensive player who made the play Murray did would think it was a foul. That's the joy of being a basketball official lol. And as I said, in the NBA, they are allowed more contact after blocking shots than at other levels, which is what I see happening on this play.

Officiating basketball, even at the HS level, gives you a perspective that cannot be gained from anything other than officiating.

You miss understood me, my bad. By definitely I mean as if you personally are the authority on all things officiating.

And seeing that you aren’t a professional basketball ref( huge difference)thats why I asked and used examples of things refs see that a D2 ref probably wouldn’t see cause he’s attempting to follow the letter of the law.

Its like Doris Burke calling out the ref in the booth, forgot his name. The call was dead wrong but he had to figure out something to say. He hasn’t been back.

You break it down as offensive and defensive players may want different things. I don’t care what the player thinks. Where in the pros, lots of times it comes down to who that “player” is vs your take, as in how you think it’s supposed to be.

If you aren’t taking into account superstar calls, make up calls, late game calls in blow outs to even up the discrepancy, momentum calls, media pressure, playoff vs regular season calls, point of emphasis we aren’t privy too etc. then you are further removed from nba officiating then you think you are. But I do appreciate your base line feedback. It’s a firm jumping off point before variables are applied.

What is the criteria for becoming a High school referee?

 

[Cynical Thoughts]

In my whole history of watching basketball this has been looked at as that’s just what coaches do, it’s even been predicted. Its happened earlier in the playoffs.

only on the Coli are “troll” thread taken seriously by people who know they are trolls just for it to be blown out of proportion.

I wouldnt care if Lebron or Jamal both came and said the refs were bugging.

He is hanging on a prayer but there is a king involved this time

 

[Teko]

Offensive foul

He does this all game. Its like the chicken shyt Jokic does when going for rebounds - he fouls every time.

And superstar big scoring 0 points in the 4th quarter of 2 games

Calls their performances "pretty even" delusional nikkas

 

[Omar Little]

Nuggys in 7.

 

[Jordan>>LeFrozen]

Lakers, WCF, people complaining about Fouls

3 things guaranteed in life

 

[darius19]

I think Lakers win game 5 by double digits

Denver’s had a great run but I can’t see them having another magical run in them
