Flippers at the game!! Awesome! He must've come straight from diving to get Ennis' trophy!

He would have foun it straight away if he took diving lessons from the 36ers!

 

[drob50]

That charge on Ennis was a disgusting call. You need to protect the offensive player, especially on the break!

 

[drob50]

Lol, now Knight has started flopping! haha

You are some serious drugs!

 

[drob50]

Reffing was poor all round!
Adelaide had too many weapons for Perth. They are a very deep team, I don't know how they managed to add as many players as they did in the off season?

We should have buried Perth by 12-15 points tonight, disappointing finish looking forward to Game 3.

Reffing has been bad Game 1 went way to Perth, Game 2 went in favour to us.

Im pretty happy we only lost by 5 considering how we played. Ennis and Redhage were quiet and we were forced to foul a couple of times in the last minute.

I agree on the reffing. The home team is getting it, so it will be interesting to see how it is called on Sunday. Im not a fan of the same 3 refs calling all 3 games either.

Exactly!
Refs are looking to take the game over!

 

[drob50]

It's no surprise I didn't like the reffing, but I'm starting to think I just don't like the rules in the NBL! lol
How they can allow so much body contact when driving but so little under the ring is ridiculous. The whole moving the feet in front of a player is a joke. A block should be a block!

 

[West Oz Cards]

Agree, they need to source o/seas refs for finals matches that have no bias and just call a game better. Perhaps Euro league

At least make it a combo of 3 different refs for the game. Does anyone know if they change it up for NBA playoff series' ? I've never taken notice

 

[BruzDB]

Yeah, surely there is 4 or 5 refs that could be rotated through the series. The level of reffing so far has been a let down.

 

[BruzDB]

Game day! The decider! Go get it Wildcats!

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

Crap start time!!!

 

[BruzDB]

Yep, crazy start time. Hopefully it doesn't affect the players too much.

To all those complaining about the reffing, please take a moment to source the memo online from the league asking the game to be called this way. All three of the officials referee internationally, with 1 getting the gold medal game at the last Olympics and still remains in career best form. Basketball Australia, along with the NBL complying, has said that the closer to the hoop you are the more contact is going to be called - with an emphasis on putting them at the line. I'm disappointed that people can go out there and say how much they are favoring one side, or carrying bias as I know these guys personally through my own officiating career. Yes I watched the game also and the inconsistencies to the general public are stemming from the memo from the league on how they want the points of emphasis applied.

 

[Mr Paparazzi]

Stupid start time for today, wonder which team will be more rested or had better prep. As both flew out of Adelaide yesterday.
