Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

Golden State Game


I support Nate McMillan as a coach, but at some point he has got to loosen his dictatorship. He is controlling our guys to much, they aren't rookies anymore. The two foul rule has got to go, it was absurd to see LMA and Greg sit for that long and then even more painful to watch LaMarcus try to get back in rhythm. Nate also has to see that Steve Blake is not an NBA calibur starting point guard. He has to give Miller a chance to build chemistry with roy in his natural position. I personally believe that neither Blake, Bayless, or Miller are the answer to our point guard problems. I am not a Jerryd Bayless fan, but it seems like every time we play teams who have good guards like Houston, Denver, and Golden State one of their top guards has over 30 points. If I was Nate last night i would have had Jerryd Bayless guarding Monta Ellis for atleast 25 minutes.

Lastly I would like to know why was the Steph Curry foul on Rudy not a clear path foul? I smelled home town cooking last night there were some bogus calls by the refs as well as bogus no calls. Either way we didn't deserve to win, but I am just curious to hear your guys' thoughts on the game/officials.

Obviously clear path

Horrible call, video ought to be sent to the league office with a strongly worded email threatening to sue (we know how to write those).

The Warriors announcers clearly thought it should have been clear path.

Horrible officiating...

The most obvious…

Rudy clear path foul + slap in the face (flagrant 1)
Oden foul on dunk (3rd qtr???)
Roy grabbed by Ellis twice on spin moves (no calls + tech on Roy)
Shooting foul for Brandon on an 3pt play that was ruled on the floor

The refs kept the W’s in the game and kept Ellis from the bench which would have changed the momentum of the game.

Nate should have brought in Bayless and Cunningham and sat Miller and Howard. How could he not see the deficit in speed? Howard cannot play fast and should never be on the floor with Joel. Howard makes Oden better, but little else.

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
