Around the League News: Week 23 (3/20 - 3/26)

[LazarusLong]

I'm no Dallas fan, but they have a legitimate gripe on the confused call on the out of bounds play.
Refs totally screwed the pooch ...

[Flagrant Fowl]

No doubt the refs are prone to mistakes, but claiming a single play in the third quarter cost them a game is a helluva reach.

That play cost them 2 points and they lost by 2 points. I don’t think it’s big reach to say it affected the game.

What about the entire quarter they played afterward?

Every play matters. That play matter. No, I don’t think it’s the reason why they loss, but that was a massive fuck up by the ref in a very meaningful game. Not just simple miss call. At the same time, I hate the Mavs and Luka with the money gesture can eat a dick.

[Superbone]

Lulu gets mad when he doesn't get his way.

Yeah, good luck with that.

[Wally_West]

Refs are the biggest cucks around Luka. Luka berates them in the most disrespectful ways and they just take it and give him call after call. Lol

[Split T]

I watched the replay of it all, I gotta say it seems overblown. Mavs mostly have themselves to blame. If they thought it was their ball, why was no one inbounding the ball? Did they not see the Warriors down there and wonder why?

The ref also clearly signaled Warriors ball. Ya the timeout signal was confusing, but they never signaled Mavs ball like Cuban said. Should the refs have clued the Mavs in when they were clearly confused? Ya I think they should have, but this isn’t some blatant error. It impacted 2 points. Almost every game probably has a bad call that swings more points than that

[Superbone]

Nothing is going to happen.

That's all I'm saying. The Mavs aren't the only victims of it, so the whole "protest" is just..

[Mori Chu]

Does anybody have the clip of the offending play? Curious exactly what happened.

[The Bobster]

Basically -

The referees signaled Golden State possession and then mandatory Dallas timeout
When the player came back onto the court the Mavericks lined up mas though they had possession except there was noone to inbound the ball or receive the inbounds pass. Once the Mavericks were on the court, the referee put the ball in play.

A couple of things that could have happened to avoid the problem - the referees could have given the Mavericks more time to get position because they were obviously confused. The Mavericks and their coaching staff could have pulled their heads out of their asses - they obviously didn't understand that the Warriors had possession, and that ultimatly is on the coaching staff. And finally, Mark Cuban should keep his ass off the court during the game.

[Cap]

That’s not how protests work.

[Mori Chu]

Crazy finish.

[Flagrant Fowl]

No place to put this but it’s too good to not share.

[bajanguy008]

Gonna leave this one here for SpliT
Knows he like his analyzing stats

[bajanguy008]

Crazy finish.

Yes, crazy finish but the "How the game got there is"......
Nets gonna have a tough time processing that one

Defense in the clutch.

That is interesting…some good luck for sure, but ya like FF says, they are probably best suited to stop teams for 1 play down the stretch. They may not score, but no one else does either. They win, but net rating stays low because they don’t increase their lead.

[ShelC]

Things going well again in Dallas. I sincerely hope we stay away from him this summer.
