I said this earlier in the thread. The questioner in the post game press conference spoon fed Willie questions about how Zion gets officiated. And his response is I just want them to be consistent. I can’t figure that out, because if they were anything they were consistent tonight. Zion got no calls in the first quarter, second quarter, third quarter and fourth quarter.

Any word on CJ?


We need Trey and Hawk to get their shot back. We have no offense.

The moment that really pissed me off was when the reverse the foul on Herb and gave Miami the ball when Martin got the ball like 5 seconds after the whistle was blown but in that Memphis game when Herb clearly had possession of the ball the refs did a jump ball.

I would be surprised if he played Sunday. By the way I think Herb got a stinger- so that might be an issue. And I don’t think this should be an issue but if this fight gets reviewed by the league Naji had his hands on Butlers neck. Hopefully that doesn’t get him suspended.

That was ridiculous because they clearly missed the obvious Robinson foul and there was no explanation for why Miami gets the ball.

Was it a punch or did he poke him? I couldn’t see. If thats the case we’re going to be down a few guys.

I don't think Naji will miss more than tonight. He and Butler both grabbed necks but nothing was egregious.

Jose may be gone a few games. The video didn't look good for either him or Bryant. If not for someone on the Pels (can't remember who) grabbing him, Jose was climbing the scorers table to try and get around the human wall and get back to Bryant.

Consistent with how the other players on the floor are officiated

Plus, I think what Naji has going for him is that if they suspend him multiple games, the league has to do the same for Butler too and I doubt that will fly.

Pels have to forget this game and focus on a tough road trip. No big secrets, everyone knows to be physical with the Pels. The team needs to respond better but they're ill-configured. Bam controlled the game (after the fight) in the fourth to close.

Zion 100% didn’t have his normal shooting night. I would say that was at least 50% due to officiating, another large part was the whole team shot like crap and it allowed 3 bodies on him at all times.

It’s probably because my twitter feed is full of pels fans but I just see pics of Naji grabbing Butler’s neck. I think Butler grabbed Najis jersey. If thats the case Naji probably gets suspended.

A lot of craziness went down with that altercation

Lost in all of that... Our entire season is now resting on what happens with the CJ injury. If he's out an extended time, we went from projected top 6 seed to likely play in team.

Knowing CJ I cant see him sitting an extended period of time especially after what he played through last season.

I watched it in depth a few times this morning, Butler definitely grabbed Naji’s neck first for a split second before Naji really went after him.

Willie sucks period… how many offensive boards are we going to give up… Jonas should have been in to close game. Frustrating

Some of you can’t help yourselves.
The dude is sick. Apparently enough so that he has to sit out.

.

It’s pathetic. Other than the Dallas game where we sat everyone he’s played the second game of every back to back this season. He played in 48 of 49 games until the last two he’s missed, playing the most minutes on the team. And some trash on here still acts like he’s sitting out because he doesn’t want to play.

Butler’s hand went to Naji’s throat first. There is no doubt, I think it was more that it went up from the jersey to the neck but it still went there. Naji then grabbed Butlers neck.
