I'd really appreciate a Bashez list as well. I want to see it scanned, and scanned in envelope

Nah. I know that it's the league itself that's rigged against Minnesota, not the refs.

The only way this series goes 7 is if the Spurs win Game 3 in my opinion. But that won't happen.

Can we force Bashez to make a handwritten list of every call that goes against the Spurs and mail it to the League office after every game?

That was a spectacular, well contested game of basketball by two excellent teams but I am deeply disappointed in the outcome. :smith:

This is what makes me reluctant but it's such a lovely dream.

Real talk: I like the idea of no talking about officiating until the 4th quarter, and even then it should be held until like the last 3 minutes.

Fun talk: Ban people who are whining about something and not mentioning how awesome this series is/will be

at around 3 minutes left in the 4th the Spurs had a possession with almost no off-ball movement, just swinging the ball back and forth it looked terrible I couldn't tell what happened I was really surprised

Spurs got too old.

Like, right in that moment. 30 seconds before that, they were young enough to win another title. But now they're too old.

Listen Bashez there were a lot of lovely calls in that game but the thing is there were bad ones on both sides and I do my best to not post about them because A) it is irritating as hell and B) that was still a great game.

You are nuts. The Spurs are insanely good, this could go 7 even if Miami goes up 3-1.

Mail them a scanned hand written letter with a flash drive.

I care a lot about the reffing because it totally changes the game. Even if the game is called evenly it can still heavily favor one team.

The late whistles were the only questionable thing. They hosed with the flow in the early 4th a bit too.

I am aware of what you care about and why. It's still irritating to read. This is why you have 50 people calling you out for being annoying in every GDT.

Pretty much. For all the talk about how last year's Finals impacted them, etc., they once again cost themselves a crucial Finals game because they couldn't hit free throws when it mattered.

Hey it was a while ago so I understand if you don't remember this but in game 1 they shot 87.5% from the field in the 4th quarter including 6 of 6 from three

How does that relate to them bricking free throws? My whole focus was around the fact that they start missing FTs when it matters most.
