Worst officiated Hawks game I've ever seen

[Admin]

I absolutely cannot believe the refs stole this game from us. Shit call after shit call throughout this game and then that rookie ref makes one of the worst calls I've ever seen.  This one really hurts, to play so hard and come back like we did even after the refs put us on the ropes and then to lose like this smh. Great effort tonight guys, it's too bad the refs wanted you to lose. 

[Sothron]

Is this the NBA's way of sticking it to us over the Danny Ferry/A$G idiotic behavior? That's now two games we've lost flat out to refs.

We were struggling against a bad Hornets team.  I'm more worried about that than the refs.

[EazyRoc]

I feel its the same story every season. Is no one in the front office raising hell ?

[Dakin]

We sucked when we had a chance to win. It's not the refs fault. Terrible coaching, terrible execution.

[Vol4ever]

Do you remember the Hawks-Celtics series back in the day?

the hornets are not a bad team and we didn't struggle ... We should have won in 4th but refs stole this game from us

I won't deny that we had some dumb / poor plays but the refs were killing us ALL GAME. It didn't just start at the end of the game. I don't think I've ever seen so many phantom offensive fouls called before. 

[Gray Mule]

Refs called a bad game.

 

Hawks played a bad game.

 

Bud made some very questionable moves.

(Some worked.  Some didn't)

 

We're off to a bad start for this season.

The hornets and their fans were complaining just as much, come on. So many stupid conspiracy theories going around. We sucked tonight against a les than mediocre team.

63 fouls called tonight. SIXTY F'N THREE! I could have sworn it would be more lopsided but 33 for the Hawks and 30 for the Hornets. 

 

1st OT: 8 Hawks fouls, Hornets 2

2nd OT: 3 Hawks fouls, Hornets 2

 

How the F were there 63 fouls called in this game? How did we get called for 8 in the 1st OT?

1. We didn't suck.

2. Hornets were a playoff team last year and they're better this year.

[Dakin]

I don't think they're better, then again I thought the hawks were supposed to be better than last year and that prediction is making me look dumb. .

The Hawks could easily be 3-1 right now with all 4 games played against playoff teams. 

[Dakin]

We could just as easily be 0-4. We haven't played a really good game yet.

[MrMeltdown]

Refs are horrible.

 

Al getting abused by Al Jefferson was bad.

 

Teague missing easy shot after easy shot down the stretch and in OT was bad.

 

Sap not being all-star Sap is bad.

[Diesel]

The only good calls we got were the ones from the replay people in Secaucus NJ.

They lost because they're losers. Nothing more and nothing less. They were lucky Indiana had all of those injuries or they would have lost that game also.

They were lucky that Indiana was basically starting all of their backups or they would have lost that game most likely.

Screwed by rookie refs in two consecutive games.

I posted this same sentiment in the chat room...sigh.
