Game 7 of Utah/LA yesterday is a perfect example..League did everything they could to help LA yesterday. Blatantly removed Gobert from the game (if he literally touched someone it was a foul). I am getting Sooooooo sick of these nba officials and the league in general. Small market teams don't have a shot in hell in this league.
SuperStar bias every game. There is a reason why these players constantly complain. It's because the officials buy into it. Prime example: Chris Paul. The guy is the biggest baby. Complains constantly.

Extremely happy to not have to watch anymore of those crybaby Clippers in this year's playoffs. #1 complainers.

I believe NBA is the hardest of the 4 major pro sports to officiate. I don't blame the refs for blowing/missing calls too much. I'm also heavily skeptical of refs enacting any match-fixing nowadays. There are just too many eyeballs, everyone has a camera, youtube, ect ect

I have no idea what game you saw with your eyes, but those were clear obvious bad fouls made by Gobbert. He looked out of it. But Jazz don't care about what he does. His presence is all that they care about. Game changer when you know you have a shot disrupter behind you. Jazz can get buckets. But the refs are not fouling out Gobbert to prevent him from scoring all these points or something lol. The refs just made up the difference in the 2nd hf with fouls when Jazz already had a comfortable lead against a team who can't score when it really counts. Jazz were sent to the line more in the first half.

Clippers have no offense and the jazz do with or without gobbert.

Utah will be able to give Golden st. some trouble. Possibly a 6,7 game series. Call me crazy.

Plus sending deandre jordan to the line isn't necessarily a good thing for the clippers in the eyes of anyone.

I agree w/ Mob, I think Utah is going to give them a descent series. And what you described is EXACTLY what I'm sick of. Teams get comfortable leads (because they outplay other team) & refs will do anything to tighten it up. I don't think they are intentionally fixing games, but I am a firm believer that they give the stars FAR more calls and will do anything to tighten up games in the late 3rd-early 4th. They need to let them play basketball and not have as much influence. O well
