[Game] Kings @ Raptors 1/4/2012

[jalfa]

He's got two steals.

has already been mentioned, but: he was gambling and could've easily been burned for it (the second pass was a completely ridiculous TO and not really any work by him).

 

[Glenn]

What did Cuz do to get the tech? Glower!

 

[HereWeBoogie]

wow. **** the refs. that is complete bull****

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

G-Man read my mind: par for the course, when the "lead" official has only been refereeing for nine years.

 

[Kings Faithful]

Cousins was bent over not doing anything and gets called for the tech...

 

[William Blake]

Wtf

 

[spudfan]

He didn't even say a word....

 

[Kings Faithful]

That last replay proved it. Straight Ref bias.

 

[Glenn]

This deserves a letter to the league office. This is ridiculous. Someone has to defend him and my first thought is that it should be the team.

 

[Kings Faithful]

I bet the refs find some excuse to do it again and kick him out.

 

[spudfan]

IT really can't stay on his man.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

he was walking looking at the ground and i think someone on Toronto said something. how thats a double tech i have NO IDEA

 

[Glenn]

Cuz needs to keep his face pointed away from the refs and say absolutely nothing at any time.

It even looked like the ref pointed at your buddy Garcia first too. Garcia was saying something. Weird tech for sure.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Cuz needs to keep his face pointed away from the refs and say absolutely nothing at any time.

That's what he just did. Didn't help.

 

[jalfa]

it's like the ref just picked out a random moment to issue a double tech. NOTHING was happening there. nobody even jawed. maybe it's some kind of poll officials have going to see who can hand out the most ridiculous tech and get away with it.

 

[Glenn]

They just found a lane violation. I'll bet it was Cuz.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

uh oh. lets see how this game goes with Cousins on the bench

EDIT: not good. bye bye lead

 

[spudfan]

They just found a lane violation.

Lane violations are one of the funniest calls to me. It happens nearly every free throw but RARELY gets called.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

it blows my mind that he took out Cuz, yet Garcia is stil in the game

 

[Kings Faithful]

We need to get jim bob in there.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Lane violations are one of the funniest calls to me. It happens nearly every free throw but RARELY gets called.

It's like offensive holding in football. They can call it anytime they want, they just do it arbitrarily.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Only dumb luck that we're still in the lead.

 

[spudfan]

Almost gave away some more free points at the buzzer. We REALLY REALLY REALLY need to practice playing until the clock stops. Far to often we give away wide open looks at the buzzer.

 

[spudfan]

Only dumb luck that we're still in the lead.

I blame it on Garcia. He is playing some scrappy defense that has prevented a lot of easy buckets. Probably 6-8 points he has prevented.

 

[Glenn]

Lane violations are one of the funniest calls to me. It happens nearly every free throw but RARELY gets called.

What is the rule? It seems on every shot someone enters the lane before the ball leaves the shooter's hand and I think that it's a line violation.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

next 6 minutes are going to be crucial in this game. will Smart go with his patented 5 bench player lineup?

 

[treach1976]

that may be the fastest pace quarter of basketball I've ever seen the Kings play.

 

[spudfan]

Atta boy Jimmer!

 

[HereWeBoogie]

What is the rule?

u cant step into the lane untill the ball leaves the shooters hand. and i believe the shooter can step in untill it hits the rim
