Series Thread: 1) Celtics vs. 6) Pacers

[dtgold88]

Can do on a goaltend I guess but possession can get ugly if they overturn a goaltending call. This is obviously difficult. I just see a lot of plays on out of bounds that are so easy there is no reason to stop play much. Have a guy dedicated to each game in New York who very quickly can say no overturned. And if it’s not a quick obvious thing just say play on and move on. Show people you are trying to fix the really aggregious stuff.

agree with most of this and you make a good point about possession. I guess if team of shooter gains possession on goal tend it cannot be overturned (as should not get a chance to score 2X), but if other team gains possession then look at it and make the change if necessary.

I don't think he ever gets healthy enough to enter the Lions dline rotation.

I used to complain about the refs and umpires all the time until I tried it during high school football and baseball games. Stuff happens so fast and you don't have replay or slo mo to look at. One thing I found is that one team is always unhappy with your call

I once had to ump my daughters softball game... because the official umps were no-shows and they said they would have to cancel the game if no one volunteered (I was literally the only one to volunteer).

I gave it an honest effort. I had absolutely no desire to favor my daughter's team in a f'n rec league, youth, 6+7 yo game.

Yet I had parents and grandparents shouting at me from the bleachers... all kinds of crazy nonsense.

Folks lose their mind over sports.

I know, I was joining in on the running joke.

He's the best in the game at it. Never misses that jumper in the key from just inside the foul line

Yep, the parents are the worst definitely

Yep.

Why I tell the people who complain all the time that they have absolutely no idea how hard it is.

This…

Also, they really don’t know what bad officiating looks like until they get down to lower levels.

I used to play in a men’s league. Same 2 refs (who were varsity high school officials locally) did all the games for the top league. Games were 20 minute running clock.

These dudes figured out that the more fouls they called and free throws administered, the fewer trips they had to make up and down the court. Every game was touch fouls left and right. They wouldn’t even try to get down the court on a fast break, but you can bet they were calling a foul anyway.

I complained to people running the league multiple times a year.

It never changed though, because they couldn’t find anyone else to take the job.

Yep. That's a big part of why I don't complain about NBA or even college refs. I've seen/experienced how much worse it could be.

Kendrick Perkins actually said Tatum may need to play center if Porzingis doesn't return.

LOL.

In my many appearances on ESPN when I was drinking I hid it by keeping the booze in a coffee mug.

What is exactly funny about this?

Turner is a stretch 5 and doesn't play in the post much.

Primary reason to do this is to avoid needing to play Kornet

Because, he said Tatum would be better off defending him than Horford.

He never mentioned Kornet.

I mean…

You have to read between the lines here.

He isn’t talking about benching Horford. He is saying maybe the Celtics should go small when Horford is out.

Also, Horford often defends 3s and 4s.

Put Tatum on Turner and he will destroy him in the post.

We are talking about 10-15 minutes here.

And sometimes creating a matchup like that works in favor of the team with the size mismatch.

Because if Indiana goes out of there way to feed Turner in the post, they are going completely away from their offense.

And that could very easily work out for the Celtics.
