Ed Malloy legacy game: 4 successful challenges, inconsistent foul calls, terrible reffing all around.

players looked confused about what they were allowed and not allowed to do. im surprised that nobody (players, coaches) got frustrated enough to get a tech.

gobroncos47 | Nuggets

Refs were absolute dogshit. 4 successful challenges is bananas.

Before the 4th quarter too.

Both teams were out of challenges most of the 3rd and the 4th.

Abradolf1948 | Warriors

Same thing happened in that atrocious Mavericks/Warriors game a couple of weeks ago. Kerr kept his final challenge until the fourth, but there were 3 successful challenges by the end of the third quarter.

_SpyriusDroid_ | Kings

And I can think of at least two calls in the 4th that would have likely been overturned if challenges were available. Just a horribly officiated game.

Nuggets with double the free throw attempts as the kings

Jamal with more free throw attempts than the entire kings team

Kings with 4 free throw attempts to Denver’s 14 in the second half.

4 challenges…4 overturned calls.

Demar getting absolutely mugged twice on shot attempts in the crunch.

2 deflections by keon, mistakenly called as fouls, resulting in 5 free throws in the clutch.

Lavine mugged at half court on a reckless steal attempt.

The list goes on.

Disgusting officiating. 5v8

Ya, one time down the court you could mug your guy with no foul, the next time down they would call a touch foul. It made no sense at all all game long. Super frustrating to watch. And it was both ways. Coaches winning 4 challenges through 3 quarters says everything you need to know, if you kept getting challenges while winning them coaches might have been 8-0 in this game lol.

DerGovernator

23 | 3 days ago

I swear the refs decide to call make-up games, then make-up games for the teams the fucked with their previous make-up games.

The NBA should really try to do a better job nailing down and defining what is and is not a foul. The ambiguity of it is a big part of why the refs are hated in Basketball more than any other sport.

CrispCash420 | Kings

The “contact” on most of those attempts wasn’t getting called on the other side though. Mostly in the 4th.

That last one by Keon was all ball too.

voidzRaKing | Kings

12 | 3 days ago

Only touching the ball and not landing in the landing zone of the shooter is a block, not a foul. However, having the refs force you to waste your challenges in order to force a Nuggets win is a viable strategy, one we saw pay off today.

If you’re not allowed to block or contest a shot, then maybe defense really is a bad thing in the eyes of the NBA.

JustinTinyPPHerbert | Nuggets

-11 | 3 days ago

Point out which one of the 3s Jamal wasn’t clearly fouled on

I want answers for Jokics whistle. He’s shot 6 (SIX) free throws total in the last two games, that’s absolutely criminal. There is not a chance in hell he only got fouled 3 times in the act of shooting across two games. Fouled in the post, no call. He gets hacked by three players, no foul. Fouled walking up to screen, no call, in fact offensive foul for slightly pushing Derozan. His freedom of movement is impeded on almost every possession? that’s right, no call. Best player in the league gets zero calls game in and game out. Interesting. The absolute worst part was 4 successful challenges, like seriously wtaf is going on with reffing in this league.

CrispCash420 | Kings

64 | 3 days ago

Domas Sabonis comes out with a black eye every other game, from being hit in the face. Should be a flagrant foul, but instead, it’s not even a regular foul.

Big men don’t get calls for getting mugged down low. Especially without the ball.

Kinda goes both ways, though. Jokic constantly throwing elbows… and Sabonis is a bull in a china shop downlow.

fundraiser | Kings

Jokic still drew fouls away from the ball. Laravia and Murray were in foul trouble all game and most of those were from Jokic.

Gyff3 | Nuggets

30 | 3 days ago

Laravia should have fouled out in the first quarter. You can’t just wrap someone up off ball and keep him from moving.

bababerands | Kings

4 | 3 days ago

You also can’t grab someone in front of you by both shoulders and yank them backwards so you can get the front position. We could go back and forth except you guys have the free throws to show for it. I think Jokic got fouled plenty of times but let’s not act like there wasn’t trickery on both sides. Either way both teams were being screwed by the refs. I vote for a league suspension of that crew until required training has been completed.

Gyff3 | Nuggets

-2 | 3 days ago

You also can’t grab someone in front of you by both shoulders

So in your mind, in the rules of basketball, someone without the ball can be restrained form moving, and while they are being restrained, they aren’t allowed to do anything to get themselves free? You actually think those are the rules?

bababerands | Kings

1 | 3 days ago

In the instance I’m referring to, Laravia is fronting with not much contact and Jokic yanks him back to grab the front position. Starts at about 2:22 left in the 3rd if you want to check it out. If that’s allowed, then you shouldn’t be complaining about the other contact against Jok.

Gyff3 | Nuggets

-1 | 3 days ago

Fronting means standing in front, he’s not denying him with positioning, he’s got he’s arms held out boxing him out, preventing him from moving, this isn’t allowed, he’s committing a foul. Jokic’s reaction to someone actively committing uncalled fouls on him is irrelevant.

Kooky_Election3895

24 | 3 days ago

Laravia legitimately fouled Jokic 20 plus times tonight, maybe more

XAfricaSaltX | Nuggets

Roonerth | Kings

61 | 3 days ago

I genuinely believe that as long as you have timeouts you should be able to challenge

One_Victory_6166 | Kings

27 | 3 days ago

The idea of any limited challenges when you’re successful in itself is stupid, but why is the limit two? For one, you’d think Adam silver loves intermissions after watching the all star game. And two, if a ref gets that many calls wrong they should be fired on the spot and slapped with Sam Puckett’s butter sock.

CrispCash420 | Kings

2 | 3 days ago

Every successful challenge should be analyzed and they should determine who missed the call. That ref should be demoted if they miss too many calls.

Merit based system to weed out the blind mice.

Surely there are a plethora of college/g-league refs who aren’t blind, who would love to move up to the big leagues.

EggsAndRice7171 | Pacers

A problem with the nba is they call the league different than euro ball or college. It would take time to adjust and you’re going to keep getting those rough ref games in the meantime.

ReggieEvansTheKing | Kings

1 | 3 days ago

That doesn’t even help us. You can’t challenge when there isn’t a call made. Derozan getting hacked over and over again on offense is unchallengeable. The issue in the 4th wasn’t that Denver was getting soft foul calls - it was that the Kings weren’t getting those same calls on the other end. The refs just have to be better. I don’t agree with grading them for every missed call but I do think the NBA should keep track of games where a crew’s missed calls are heavily biased and make changes as necessary.

bababerands | Kings

1 | 3 days ago

Yea but that wouldn’t allow the nba to rig games though.

RaskolnikovAxe | Nuggets

Please, no. The game is interrupted so much, and I started hating even successful challenges for my team. Last night, there were two challenges in 40 seconds, both successful! How bad are those refs?

the entire game was bad. They were letting them play hard in the post when the ball was there, but then calling every ticky-tack thing off the ball to seemingly make up for it. Then half of the fouls they did call, they were wrong on. 4 challenges all successful. Plenty of more could’ve been challenged after that.

Easily the worst refereed game I’ve seen all year.

You have to take what the defense (and in this case, the refs) gives you. Not to mention Jamal shot a lot more than the box score indicates, he was just getting free throws and not buckets. I don’t feel like Russ was forcing anything, the refs just let the Kings get away with murdering Jokic. I’d be more concerned if it seemed like he was trying to force stuff.

Worst ref game I’ve seen in a long time.

Nugs got every call to start the comeback shooting 10+ free throws more than the kings. Meanwhile kings were getting hacked and no call. Malone works the ref the entire game.

Kings look good though. We always struggle on the road against the Nugs and we looked solid. DeRozan is a beast

We didn’t make shots at the end, but the refs were absolute dogshit.

Those back to back blocking fouls were the turning point. At least one of those was a charge if not both. Totally changed the momentum of the game because our guys lost focus. Respect to Denver for executing, but damn just call it both ways.

voidzRaKing | Kings

24 | 3 days ago

30 FTA for the Nuggets, only 14 for Sac. DeRozan had 32 FGA but only 4 FTA.

This was the most blatant ref ball I’ve seen this season. Jokic is an SGA level flopper. Pretending Keon Ellis of all people is strong enough to pull him down 5 times give me a break.

If this was fairly reffed, we win. If we have Sabonis or Monk we win. This is so fucking regarded to push Vegas odds so heavily on such a random game. I have to imagine it’s an agenda for the Warriors right now to solidify them in the playoffs.

I like Denver generally but this was one they should absolutely not be proud of, this was dirty work.

They want the fucking #2 vs #3 seed race to come down to the wire.

That was fucking a disgusting hit job from the refs and I lived through the 2002 WCF’s.

Wouldn’t they rather have the Luka Lakers be the second seed tho it doesn’t make sense for there to be a race like that go down to the wire

Gyff3 | Nuggets

DeRozan shoots fadeaway 2s, that is not a shot that gets foul calls, he drove to the rim once all night. Meanwhile Jokic shot 1 shooting foul and was being hacked all game.

jesusfelixxx | Nuggets

As a nuggets fan, I’m happy we won but I agree with this comment section, that ref game was horseshit! Both ways there was no consistency. I now have no idea what is and is not a foul, except for the four fouls challenged and overturned.

stop fouling Jokic. Nuggets going to do this to you guys over and over again. SImple to see why you lost. Oh yea and make some shots. Refs where not shooting the ball for you guys.

JV3s | Kings

13 | 3 days ago

Relax, amigo, Sabonis didn’t even play and you needed a generational performance from the refs to win this one. Wouldn’t talk too much if i was you. Big man get fouled down lown fighting for position every time and every game, Sabonis goes through the same as Jokic every game, one difference between them is that Sabonis never flops, just because Jokic flails around when Laravia or Keegan tries to deny him from the front doesn’t mean it’s always a foul, otherwise every team would foul out every game defending Jokic/Embiid/Sabonis/Sengun etc

The refs gave the Nuggets the W

AlwaysSeekAdventure

Just look at the free throw disparity. Master class by the refs in the 4Q to give Denver the game. Their sub is delusional thinking otherwise lmao.

Gyff3 | Nuggets

5 | 3 days ago

The free throw disparity is entirely fouling Murray 3 times on 3 pointers. The Kings shot 9 fts before the Nuggets shot 1 in the first.

AlwaysSeekAdventure

2 | 3 days ago

Doesn’t track since he’s still shot more free throws than we did the whole game and only got fouled on three threes, one of which was absolutely ridiculous. Please explain why the kings didn’t shoot a free throw after midway through the second. My point stands but go enjoy your win.

theREALMVP | Kings

And then the Nuggets shot 30 the rest of the game while the kings shot 4.

Gyff3 | Nuggets

-1 | 3 days ago

Yeah, their offense was ass most of the game, just DeRozan iso spam. They spent the first half trying to beat up Jokic and tired themselves out, was pretty obvious if you watched.

theREALMVP | Kings

0 | 3 days ago

No, what was pretty obvious was that the Nuggets were allowed to do literally whatever they wanted on the defensive end in the second half. Down the stretch murray and westbrook fouled demar 4 plays in a row, both at the rim and on jump shots and not one foul. You can’t seriously think your defense is THAT good that we earned 4 FTs in 3 quarters lol

hes amidrange jumpshooter. how do you foul him all he did the whole game was take open jumpers. Or don’t you realize the kind of plays that create fouls.

CrispCash420 | Kings

17 | 3 days ago

You foul him by making contact with him while he’s shooting…which happened twice in the 4th. No call

Kings-916

2 | 3 days ago

he only shot 6 free throws, what are you on about?

BlueDuckHunter12

16 | 3 days ago

I thought the refs were really inconsistent tonight but not sure how many free throws the Kings deserved when most of the offense was midrange jumpers.

Overall great game by the Kings despite missing Sabonis and Monk. Just got beat by a fat European who hasn’t yet been traded to the Lakers for a bag of chips. Just have to tip your hat and move onto the next one.

Russ gave this game to Denver. They shot double the amount of free throws. I think the King’s only shot three after the first quarter. What kind of garbage is that?

enfirst2 | Jordan

Mediocre Jokic game, Denver won the non-Jokic minutes, refs rigged the game for Denver so they can finally win against an above .500 team and very quiet game thread as expected.

If it were reverse rabid Jokic fans would tear this game thread apart. Jokic does not deserve MVP over SGA, if he wins because of certain biases it would age even worse than last year’s MVP that he stole from Luka.

I love the Kings flairs bringing up the FT disparity as if its why they lost. The refs were equally bad, but what it came down to was missing shots in the 4th and young players clogging the paint making defensive mistakes.

Kings-916

1 | 3 days ago

They lost by 6 points. FTs were 11-14 v 24-30, so yes it literally was the difference.

The Denver Nuggets (40-22) defeat the Sacramento Kings (32-29), 116-110.
