I think he was a crypto scammer or something

De’Rugpull. Since he’s making a habit of it lol

 

[Tetsujin]

What the **** Jake

 

[Kingz19]

Sigh

 

[iowamcnabb]

Omg

 

[Tetsujin]

Jake should’ve just pulled up on the catch.

 

[Angelo127]

what a ridiculous game

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Robot refs can’t come soon enough

I actually would not support robot umpires in baseball, I like the human element and they're generally pretty good.

I absolutely would support robot refs in basketball because basketball refs are horrible and obviously biased and everyone knows it and no one does anything about it.

 

[BosnianDiehard2.0]

What the hell was that.

 

[kingsfan_4Life]

Man, tough losing these close ones knowing that we were way ahead alot of the game.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

heartbreaker. furefs.

 

[SLAB]

Helluva possession to go out on. Smh

 

[coolhandluke]

That's a bad loss. Screw the refs.

 

[Sluggah]

We were never winning anyway it would seem.

 

[Angelo127]

what a bad game

 

[luckytkp]

it sucks, but cant complain a 3-1 road trip

Baseball is also a slow enough game that refs are able to sort things out within the flow of the game. Basketball is so fast paced that even a successful challenge just murders the flow of action

 

[iowamcnabb]

Annoying because I don’t think Denver deserved to win but the kings largely played well

 

[LoungeLizard]

Horse crap. I hope Doug goes off in the post game

 

[BosnianDiehard2.0]

This loss hurts way more than it should have. Had to find a way to come out with the win after leading for like 80%+ of the game, but oh well.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

We were never winning anyway it would seem.

Can the league just let us know when they're going to do this to us so we can just rest our guys?

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

Bummer...No lasagna for Vinny!

 

[whitechocolate]

There must have been a mandate for the refs to blow the whistle every time Denver had the ball in the fourth.

 

[Tetsujin]

That's a bad loss. Screw the refs.

Meh. We were missing our best player and another starter. They were missing Aaron Gordon, sure, but they also got every single whistle and some after the first quarter ended.

 

[SacTownKid]

More stuff is bubbling up from fans about the game being a bit of a work, and it is, but now it's almost starting to get sloppily obvious.

 

[fansinceday1]

The f/t disparity is just ridiculous. Why can’t the refs call games fair both ways. Derozan was getting raked on our end with zero calls. It cheapens the game. It’s just total horse S

 

[coolhandluke]

Kings have a higher ceiling that we give credit for. Missing two starters and looked like the better team tonight. We would have won with a fairly reffed game.

 

[Tetsujin]

There must have been a mandate for the refs to blow the whistle every time Denver had the ball in the fourth.

The second we burned our second challenge, the refs decided to go to work lol

 

[iowamcnabb]

2 big things at the end. When Derozan got stripped (fouled) that would have given us a 2 possession lead that might have changed the outcome. And then Jonas missed an easy turn around. We looked gassed too which makes sense.

the good news is this brand of basketball we are playing wins more than it loses. Just do that every damn night. It’s a must

 

[megapoxy]

Why you don’t waste challenges when you A) aren’t getting imminent possession B)A guy isn’t in foul trouble

one of our “successful” challenges turned two Jokic free throws into a wide open three

The other one was also turned into a three.

 

[gunks]

Oh, it was a statement game, all right. Adam Silver made a very clear statement.

I couldn't catch this one, but seems like everyone is even angrier about the refs than usual, which is saying something considering how often we're ****** by them as a team!

I'm mentally preparing myself for Fox to have the best whistle of his career on Friday.
