playoff type of game tbh

Interesting game with both teams playing more mind games than actual basketball

What about the push on Vic by Jokic? Denver some fucking cry babies.

Exactly. All I saw was a push from Jokic on Victor. Fucking BS. Thunder can play physical, Spurs don't get the same respect. Screw this league. BLOW THEM ALL OUT.

 

[The Ballsbreakers]

I'd like more than 4 attempts by Vic for a half by Vic please

You do know the Spurs are up 7 at the half on the road against the 3rd best team in the West? lol

Tracking - I know it’s a dogfight against them and the refs, but think our guys can stretch the lead or get to the line. Then again these refs are trash.

 

[Fireball]

So overall the Spurs just thrive when they can play fast - all these whistles slow the game down. Great rehearsal for the playoffs.
Still I would like them to run more although its in Denvers height and its the third game in four nights.

 

[Trifecta]

challenge that !!!! it's Jokic who pushed !!!

I missed it - did Mitch challenge or not?

 

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

This happens when the league doesn't have the power over refs and there's no accountability to be had.
There has to be a governing body that reviews every referee's performance and drops the worst ones from the league, there's no other way.

Lol the refs are doing exactly what the league office wants.

 

[MannyIG]

Good responses all things considered. Denver is a good ass team tbh.

Let these fucking teams play.

Yeah tough environment on the road against a very good and more experienced team and we're up 7. With our players in foul trouble all half. Honestly that's a strong half from the Spurs.

 

[wEmBoY]

aside from the freethrows wemby is being shut down by gordon. This is something brooks can do ..

 

[Kick-Stand]

Spurs-Nuggets is always can't miss

No because our coaches watching replay are a bunch of pansies.

 

[Ice009]

That assumes you can replace them with refs who are better. This is 100% the toughest sport to officiate. I just think this crew probably hasn't been prepared for the environment. This is essentially a playoff game.

I guess I could have a bit of sympathy for the refs, but this is high level and if you're going to be here, you better perform.

Sean said the lead ref has 99 playoff games.
I'm not saying they should be tossing refs out of the league left and right, but they need to let them know they can't have players and coaches walk all over them.
And that's exactly what's been happening this game.
Having a bad call or two in the first half can happen, but when you let everyone berate you and start doing make up calls, it's over, you've ruined the game.

Pretty obvious from the first fucking play of the game they were gonna be absolutely terrible with that foul on wemby.

 

[Mugen]

Again, we still gotta attack the basket way more. Fox settling too much.

We get to the cup and we win the game tbh.

 

[Trifecta]

Would have been an easy challenge! Plus would have saved pts. Denver has no problem challenging calls.

 

[MannyIG]

He had more attempts than that in actuality but because they don't count when he's fouled they dont' show up. He shot 11 free throws!

 

[Arcadian]

Victor and Jokic both 10/11 on FTs so far

 

[Itzsoweezee]

Refs really destroying what could otherwise be a really good game

 

[SanAnSpursFan21]

Even Dirk talking about these knuckleheaded refs

 

[spursistan]

Should have been up more. I think we are the better team but the officiating has taken us out of rhythm

 

[LeBowen]

Again, we still gotta attack the basket way more. Fox settling too much.

We get to the cup and we win the game tbh.

I feel like there should've been at least 3 more passes to the rolling Wemby/Kornet, but we kicked it out for 3 instead.

 

[cediskace]

Soory guys but Keldon pushed Jokic so he pushed Wemby. Even Sean had no problem with that call. Calm down

so because you're hardly touched in the back you're allowed to litterally throw another play in the stands ? i'm not sure how it works here but keldon foul is really light if it does even exist and i don't think it should allow jokic to litterally throw wemby on the ground.
