Tonight will be the first Bulls playoff game I'll actually get to watch live this season, so I apologize in advance for the likely quad posts, and profanity laced insults of both teams I'm about to deliver.

Calm down Pepe. Now is not the time for fear, that comes later

We legitimately just had this argument when Mason Plumlee put his hand on LeBron's lower body, and you concluded that that specific act does not effect ones shot.
 
also, I'm shocked that you aren't up in arms about the refs not giving Chris Paul 3 free throws when he was clearly fouled in the act of shooting the play before, shocked. Or upset that Curry pushed off on the last play as well, just shocked.
 
 
 

 
On the bolded part, you can't be serious. Not even close to the same thing.
 
And as often as Chris Paul pushes off, I could care less that Curry did it to him once. As far as the 3 free throw play goes. I never saw a replay to get a second look at it. Aside from that, the NBA needs to install a rule that states a play like that won't result in a shooting foul. You won't make that shot 99.9% of the time. It's a bush-league tactic.
 
And are you even going to touch Griffin's obvious charge. There's no reason he should have gotten those two free throws.
 
Hitting a jump shooter's body affects his shot. Plumlee barely grazing LeBron on the body had nothing to do with the miss. Upon seeing a replay of the LBJ/Plumlee play, though, I actually conceded that Plumlee fouled LeBron's shooting hand, anyway, if you don't recall.

When I saw the play in real time, I thought that Draymond Green clearly bumped Blake before Blake lowered the shoulder. Replay made me think it might have actually been a charge, but I still think Green initiated the contact. Gotta call the first foul.

The worst call/non-call of the game was Blake Griffin getting away with a big travel on that Dirk-esque shot he hit with the shot clock winding down. Clearly changed his pivot foot. Block/charge call was 50-50. Didn't think CP3 fouled Curry at the end. Even if he did I'm almost positive Curry's foot was on the line so they couldn't have won it there.

Eh. One little bump isn't a foul, though. Not every bit of contact is a foul. It's the advantage/disadvantage philosophy. If contact produces no disadvantage for either player, they won't call it. To me, Blake was irritated about that (barely) hard foul earlier that Green committed and decided to be a little bitch about it. 

I would probably be OK with the block call if Blake's arm hadn't extended with the contact. Leading shoulder first might not have been intentional, but his arm definitely extended, too.

Couldnt we say game 3 made up for game 1 for the clips with the calls?

Series would be 2-1 either way

No, Im not going to touch on what Griffin did. Because A) I didn't see it, B) that's not what I'm arguing. You watch a game with extreme bias, and it shows in all of your posts. I wouldn't care as much about your constant whining about officials if you were at least consistent, but you're not. You take each missed call on a case by case basis. If it involves someone you hate getting screwed, it's a non issue to you because they get away with so much. If it's someone you hate getting away with something, there's a systematic problem with the NBA and it needs to be STOPPED! The war in Iraq? WHAT? NBA OFFICIALS ARE CROOKED! Lets talk about THAT!
 
I don't care about Plumlee hitting LeBron on his shooting hand. As I noted, he put his hand on his body, according to your assessment of this CP3/Curry play, that's illegal, which was the point I was trying to make about the LeBron/Plumlee play. Fouls like that don't seem to effect LeBron because he's so massive and strong, which is why he's so tough to officiate, which you and so many others can't grasp. It's almost a crap shoot when you're officiating him, and the majority of the time you're gonna give him the benefit of the doubt because of how good he is.
 
During a game, if I see you made the last post, I can already guess that you're complaining about a call in the game, and I can tell you exactly which team you're saying is getting screwed.

Doesn't mean it wasn't a foul though. I thought Green fouled him and then Blake fouled him after. Fouls weren't simultaneous so it's not a double foul. Like I said, gotta call the first foul first.

For all you criticize referees, have you ever done it? just curious

Not true.

I'm blaming that guy if the raps lose the series.

Lmao dude is turnt too early

 

[Hurricane Season]

Snell sucks

 

[Hurricane Season]

This goddamn series is over.  Bulls won't take a single game.  The only goddamn thing this team can do is hustle, play defense and rebound, and they aren't doing any of that.

 

[Hurricane Season]

The only thing keeping the Bulls in this game is the three ball, which is terrifying.
