Scott Foster is notorious for this shit. He's been linked to Donaghy numerous times.

When they tossed out that stat about the road teams and their records I had to figure something regarding officiating would be in question for that game. I was not disappointed.
The idea that the game was somehow fixed doesn't bother me nearly as much as the fact that even if it was we had a legit chance to win the game, handily at that, and couldn't do it.

Officials can only decide close games. If the Bulls simply play better there isn't much the officials can do. Not to mention calls went against LeBron in the end of the game.

Yeah. So I blame the Bulls more than the refs. Cavs did get the last call, and you can argue that was where the refs decided it, but...meh. Bulls shot themselves in the foot with those scoring droughts.

The NBA tells the officials who to favor in their calls. It is as simple as that. It is all about money. The game is fixed in order to maximize league income. The game has really become a joke in it entirety. I used to love the game of basketball but now it is 5th in terms of watching enjoyment. And most of the problem is how subjective the calling of the game is and how referees totally control everything. Football is getting to be worse also but nothing is close to NBA basketball in terms of how the game should be played and officiated.

yeah Bulls got fucked but they fucked themselves for choking in the 4th quarter which put them in that position
all they had to do was play competently and would have walked away with a win but they decided they would forget how to run a offense...that loss was a joke and anybody not mad about it is drinking the kool-aid

Solid Point. Up to the Bulls then to take this game back in their control. I think we see 48 minutes balls out intensity. Its pretty much a must win, because its crazy to expect back to back wins, seeing how this series has gone.

Yeah, but if the Bulls wanna win this series they need to clinch it at home in Game 6 if they win tonight.

Thinking about this.. yes, the officiating has been bad. But the Bulls had the chance to put that game away when they were up 7 going into the 4th. Cleveland went on a 7-0 run and eventually took the lead.
Then in the 2nd when Cleveland went on a 16-0 run, the Bulls blew it. If it was even a 16-5 run, the Bulls would have been fine. The problem is they aren't hitting those open shots.

When the Cavs went on their 16-0 run that truly was the Bulls just missing a lot of open shots for the most part.
The 4th quarter was their offense just going stagnant and they weren't getting any good looks. Cleveland also really started locking down on defense.

Interesting note on this whole ref situation. Thibs called for the review because he thought it didn't initially hit the line and that there would be no time remaining on the clock. He didn't do it for a free time out and in fact, believes the NBA needs to review that. He wants it changed to where players can't return to the bench during a review, thus negating any free time outs for teams that don't have any.
Also, he saw Blatt calling for the TO when he had none left, despite paying close attention to the action on the floor.

How was that Blatt thing not a technical foul? The NBA is fixed plain and simple.

It's fixed. Not a shred of proof, but trust me, it's fixed. It's just plain and it's just simple.

The refs were bad but the bulls were also bad for not capitalizing on the cavs badness.

The refs don't shoot the basketball, or pass the basketball.
That being said, that Delladova not receiving a T, and given how the officiating has gone this entire series, Taj being ejected is a fucking crime.

The Bulls have been bad and the officiating has also been bad. If we play well, we can beat bad officiating. We did not play well.
