Imo it doesn’t excuse the loss though. Right before the game I posted I wonder if the guys was gonna take it easy because they beat the wizards before and it seems like that’s what happened from the start of the game. Not enough urgency from the start of the game.
Hope our guys learn from it. Do you guys think the officiating has been weird this season against our guys? What do you think?

The officiating and double-standards has been much worse this season. What is the last time you see so many coaches and players complained about the refs? It all begins with Silver and his support for legalized sports betting.
Its really bad
It felt good in a sense, that it felt like we weren’t trying… we were confident we’d take the W. Be it down to our 2 game win streak and boost in morale, or that we had a W against them.
That said, we got too lackadaisical (as one Sean Elliot would say) and it was our game to lose.
Players have made mistakes, refs can make mistakes too. The Spurs players were far from perfect, the loss is on all of them
Keldon never gets any calls.
There was two really soft calls against Barlow towards the end of the game that really destroyed our flow and momentum, totally affected the team’s intensity into the 4th. While, yeah, we play the way we played against Washington against any other team, and we are gonna lose even without the refs. However, it was p clear to me the refs did impact us late in this game with soft calls against and limited calls for us.
These are the last in line to a low key dozen calls that were missed/incorrectly made, every single time in WAS’ favor during the game
