GS got screwed, definite foul on Paul, horrible no call.

The officiating throughout the playoffs so far has been let's just say...pretty bad.

Interesting stats, good link. How about Dallas? They have a legit shot at winning that series, same with Memphis. OKC better win tonight, Im not sure they will.

Dallas was the one team out West who I thought had no real shot at winning their first round series. It's just been an unreal week of basketball.

Playoff refereeing has been pretty awful.

I have to admit I was dead wrong about Curry coing out of college. Didnt think he could play point or defend good enough to be a star player, just a guy. He still isnt much of a defender but he tries and has some quick hands.

Playsoffs are amazing so far. Hoping Houston and Golden St pull it out, both super dangerous w/ the way San Antonio and Dallas are playing.

I posted in this thread they could win a game or 2. I think they win the series now, they could easily be up 3-0.

I really hope Memphis and Dallas make the 1-2 seeds pay. Memphis came back from 20 down in game 1 and lost game 4 in OT. I want OKC and SA out.

I really hope Toronto wins this series, not only because I bet them.....
They publicly stated they tanked to get Toronto, I want them to get beat.

[RockHardTen1985]

Maybe I was wrong on Harden. Houston really cant lose this series, it would be a giant disappointment. Aldridge is playing like the superstar.

The officiating is an absolute joke

I know its nothing bold, but whoever wins this Portland game wins the series. You cant go to Houston win 2 and come home and not at least split, and if your Houston and drop 2 at home and win 2 at Portland how the hell do you come back home for game 5 and get beat? This is the series, right now. And again Harden is a no show.

I'm not big on the conspiracy stuff, but these guys just aren't very good. It should be one of Silver's first goals (other than throwing out Sterling)---improve officiating. These are not just blown judgement calls. They are just bad calls, period.

Not reviewing the horrible Ed Malloy call last night is inexplicable. How does that happen? These guys review EVERYTHING! They review three pointers when the guy is three feet behind the line, but they don't review that?

But forgetting they didn't review it, he did he miss that call? He is right there on the play. He said it hit Howard's leg...it was never anywhere near his leg.
