2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

Listen, the refs really are ass sometimes.

….and we should be able to complain about that.

But, the Suns didn’t lose because of a few calls.

Nobody can tell me that the T Mann ejection was justified.

It was straight fuckery.

But, that’s not why the Clippers lost.

They lost because they couldn’t make their free throws and could not stop SGA, even when 4 guys converged on him.

The Lakers beat the Suns.

Just like the Thunder beat the Clippers.

Period.

Ps. Some of those Reaves calls were hilariously, ridiculous.

But, not why the Suns lost.

Both things can be true.

I think a fair amount of the criticism from last night had to do with the alleged Scott Foster/CP3 "rivalry". The same things seem to be said every time Scott Foster refs a CP3 game. I think there's a certain amount of "self fulfilling prophecy" re: Foster/CP3. Imo, it's gotten tothe point that the league should probably lookto get involved and squash it.

Couldn't agree more re: teams losing because of the refs.

Yep complaining about the refs on here should be allowed

 

[fightinfunbags]

Well, at least you didn’t infer it was because he’s white.

Puts you head and shoulders above Perk.

Yes, he got a couple of superstar calls because of color.

Those colors are purp and gold…lol

Shit happens, the Lakers won.

Exactly!

Well as far as I know it is, let ‘em bitch about it. If I see a bad call I’m pointing it out.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Yeah, I think some folks think he shoots from the perimeter all the time. A lot of his calls are from driving into the paint and either using his "herky jerky" style to get guys off balance or he stops suddenly and the defender runs into him as he goes up for the shot.

The Suns actually started to figure it out a little bit last night and blocked a couple of his shots.

He's that guy on the playground that everyone hates to cover because he does everything "wrong". lol

BOOM.

Show specific examples?

A bad call like awarding Booker a shooting foul when he was out of bounds directly behind the hoop?

 

[shopson67]

It’s me calling a spade a spade. Dude is getting treatment from officials he hasn’t earned.

You shouldn't have to earn foul calls when fouled.

I didn’t have anything specific in mind lol

 

[shopson67]

People have been on the Reaves is JAG for the entire season.

Mostly because he was being overhyped.

But, I always thought he could play.

Those people are simply wrong.

 

[shopson67]

I didn’t have anything specific in mind lol

It was a puzzling moment in last night's game, lol.

Yep, for his own good. No point in risking injury.
