MagicOne 119 Report post Posted December 6, 2018 9 minutes ago, All Eyes On Me said: Spread was Denver -5, Denver wins by 6. Coincidence? *goes to read Tim Donaghy’s book Definitely something fishy going on tonight. Give the Magic a ton of credit for hanging in there despite playing 5 on 8 in a back to back situation.

MagicOne 119 Report post Posted December 6, 2018 2 minutes ago, ML6 said: The free throw disparity itself isn’t that shocking to me. We spent most of the game shooting 3s. Probably could’ve gotten a few additional calls here and there but whatever, not necessarily egregious there. But the missed out of bounds call and the thing where they potentially awarded FTs while not in the bonus — really, really bad. Dude had both feet out of bounds! And earlier they called a foul on Gordon after Milsap drilled him in the throat. Yes the Magic had trouble defending the pick and roll and that certainly contributed to the loss, but clearly the refs cost the Magic here tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As we are posting now envelopes of cash are being dished out left and right. It's things like this that drive NBA fans away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All Eyes On Me 1,206 Report post Posted December 6, 2018 My thought is the refs had the spread in mind the entire game. We hit 20 3s so they couldn’t hide covering the line as easily as they usually do. The NBA is legit corrupt and has been for years. It has nothing to do with team favoritism and everything to do with the spread. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All Eyes On Me 1,206 Report post Posted December 6, 2018 But, to say something that doesn’t have to do with the refs so I don’t get tuned out... that Gordon reverse putback dunk with a minute left was one of the best in-game plays I’ve ever seen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All Eyes On Me 1,206 Report post Posted December 6, 2018 Mason Plumlee and Jamal Murray both shot more free throws individually than we shot as a team... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soul Bro 1,419 Report post Posted December 6, 2018 Did the officiating stink? Sure. Are the Magic good at getting to the line? No. In fact, we are the worst in the league: https://www.teamrankings.com/nba/stat/free-throws-attempted-per-game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, Denver is 22nd in the NBA in free throw attempts according to this list shooting 22 a game. They shot 37 tonight. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheImmortalPatBurke! 28 Report post Posted December 6, 2018 So tired hearing about the ref excuse. We have no star players who deserve the benefit of the whistle nor players who are high volume FT shooters. Yes it seemed like we got screwed tonight but grow up this the NBA and how it works. Our roster is what it is! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
