Bro…

What difference does it make, really?

We complain about the players…

We complain about the Coaching…

Especially when it’s our own team…

We complain about the schedule…

We complain about the GM….

So, why are the refs off limits?
It is the dumbest thing. Literally everyone bring up missed calls. Watch any broadcast and see what happens when a clear foul is missed. The commentators always bring it up but we are held to higher standards on here so we must never bring up the refs and act like we are blind. Some people on this board are full of shit

I feel like since people started giving you shit and they even made a whole ass thread just for ref bitching you dialed it back but that’s just one man’s opinion.
I'll bring up a call here and there but nothing crazy. My biggest thing with the refs is avoid the outcome changing calls and don't be one sided in the way you call the game.

As long as it isn't constant. It's fair game imo

You're the only ones that bring them up virtually every day. Which is why neither of you have any ref bitching credibilty.
In fairness, we complain about every aspect of the game.

GM, Coaching, Players, Back to Backs, load management.

I know a few of those topics are irritating for some..

Mostly about the coaching…

But, bitching about the refs seems to really irritate folks.

For you in particular….

Is it because you feel it’s excessive or that some use it as a crutch for WHY they lost?

Im not even referring to anyone here, necessarily.

This same argument exists on toxic ass NBA TWITTER too and it gets heated.

In the case of the Clipper game. It can be directly pointed to as a major reason they lost

Also in terms of the Lakers game....I didn't see it but it seems one sided when you take into account points in the paint and rebounding.

What cracks me up is when one team asserts themselves in the paint and the opposing teams fans complain about fouls. Bruh...they beat your ass in the paint


But the Lakers Suns game was close In that regard.

We lost because SGA bust their ass and Kawhi dribbled 29 times, without getting a shot off….lol

We also missed 9 free throws.

T Mann was ejected early.

It was a shit ejection.

Still, Clippers lost ANOTHER double digit lead.

Thunder took the game from us, not the ref…imo
