Disgraceful

Refs cheat the warriors in 2OT by taking away a 4pt play KD made.

Then got mad when Steph made a 3 after they took it away as he let the ref know

Then called a tacky touch foul on a bad twolves throw on KD saying he was holding

Gave KAT 2 fts to win.

That's the worst thing about NBA refs.

People watch to see the players not your vagina bleeding

That Steph Curry shot was insane..

Honestly, I don’t have a huge issue with the calls though. Both were 50/50 type of plays that just happened to both go one teams way.

KD was fouled on the catch. He ended up shooting the ball, but had there not been a foul he could have easily taken a dribble before shooting. He took the shot knowing their was a foul, he tried to force the 4 point play. Refs have said they were going to be stricter on those before either this season or the last, it’s still not perfect or totally consistent, but moving away from 4 point plays where a shot is thrown up after contact was the sole intent of them saying they were going to be stricter on the ruling.

The last foul on KD, there wasn’t a lot there but he did have hands on a player who was going to attempt a jump. Pass was bad, and even if he were wide open he might have not gotten to it. Either way if that’s an open court alley oop they are calling a foul. Can’t just swallow the whistle because it’s an in bounds play late in the game. That’s a much tougher call to make to me than the first one though IMO.

Re: 3/26 - 4/2 Games Discussion Thread

I feel like both calls were correct. KD wasn't in his shooting motion yet when Bates-Diop fouled him. He still hadn't even planted his left foot after catching the ball. Somebody posted these screenshots for proof: https://imgur.com/gallery/j8pBk94

As for the foul on KAT, Durant literally held him all the way down the lane. He didn't tap him, he made full contact with his body. Was it a LOT of contact? No, but the rule literally states, "A player shall not hold, push, charge into, impede the progress of an opponent by extending a hand, arm..."

I didn't watch the game, but I can imagine there were some inconsistent calls. I know Curry gets bumped and pushed all the time, so I have no problem with people arguing inconsistency, but to say the refs were wrong on both of these is just completely false.

Re: 3/26 - 4/2 Games Discussion Thread

I moreso understand the frustration with the first call. Continuation is called so inconsistently, especially later on in the game.

The last one was pretty clear. I get not wanting the game to be decided by refs, but KD clearly had both arms extended. Theres no uncatchable ball rule in the NBA.

Twolves winning helps Lakers lottery odds. Warriors losing makes 1st in west a tie again and TNT game on Tuesday VS Nuggets could very well determine the west.

Refs knew what they were doing.

Not trying to sound like a smart a**, but did you look at the link? Diop grabbed him as he was catching the ball and KD hadn't even planted his left foot yet. It happened so quick, but I think these screenshots prove that it was before the shooting motion. It sucks that it happened that way, but I'd rather see the refs make the correct call than not because of "inconsistency".

Re: 3/26 - 4/2 Games Discussion Thread

Only way that is a shooting foul is if KD was shooting the Dirk one-legged fadeaway. I can't see how its a shooting foul if his shot starts with a jump off two feet and he only has one planted when he's fouled.
