There's obviously a difference between how fans on a messageboard react to bad reffing and how an entire organization reacts to bad reffing. We're making fun of the way that Morey treats on court basketball as a grift. He's used players like Harden and Embiid to manipulate the refs into bad calls as a deliberate team-building strategy for a decade, and then he calls mom and dad at the league office whenever things don't go his way. What're the stats on Morey teams vs. Non-Morey teams trying to get games overturned for bad reffing? I bet he on his own outpaces the 29 other front offices.View: https://twitter.com/NBCSPhilly/status/1782610896226812137
Or maybe Nurse has a point.
You Massholes should really check yourselves. Go look at how much crowing about an unfinished season you've already done, and whining about the lack of respect Tatum gets that have been posted over the past few months here. Well, your team has already put a historic regular season, and thanks to injuries to your potential opponents' superstars (Embiid, Giannis, Butler, Randle), the ECF is set up as a potential cakewalk for your team, so no excuses.
Because, of course, nothing could go wrong with their inevitable rise to a finally adding another banner to the increasingly dusty collection hanging in your rafters. Just like last year, when your hockey team also had a historic regular season and cruised to another championship. Please feel free to share in your inevitable vituperative responses all the pictures you took at last year's Bruins' Stanley Cup parade. Were you able to get a picture of the Cup? Hold it? Sip out of it? Please don't hold back a single instance of your joy on that day.
If your coach had been ignored like that while trying to call a timeout in a key situation at the end of the game, this board would have exploded in outrage over the injustice. Of course, that would be after it got over the shock of your coach actually trying to call a timeout in a key situation at the end of the game, which if I learned anything from my rare sojourns into this forum, is something he apparently lacks the sense to do.
Yes, it's very fair to laugh at these whiny jokers while acknowledging that we, personally, get angry at bad calls against our team.
