2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

How about you don't curse the ref out?

LeBron gets hacked several times a game.

Has he ever responded this way?

Durant went full on Sacto Boogie Cousins.

He's wrong, missed calls and all.

He got hit on the arm, not pushed into the stands.

His response was overkill and he even said he shouldn't have gone there.

How about the refs do their job & not have to deal with such an extreme reaction from players? You and I can't dictate how some responds to something. How would you react if you've been hit multiple times without anything being done about it? I know I can show restraint in most cases, but I'm being hit constantly on my head, kicked when I go up for a rebound that's gonna wear on me - even more so if that behavior is allowed when clearly the rules say it isn't.

And again, I'm not saying excuse the behavior, I'm saying I understand the frustration level.

 

[LAD]

Exactly.

He totally got fouled.

But, he earned that ejection.

My biggest issue is that those techs are not going to get rescinded.

So, he's 2 away from a suspension.

I swear to GAWD if the Rockets win the chip because Durant gets suspended in a playoff game, I will sport a Warriors avatar FOREVER.

The Warriors are the only team that can beat them....imo

Agreed.

But, KD didn't react like that because of only 1 missed foul call.

 

[LAD]

Sure.

....and the Warriors paid the price for that explosion.

Luckily, you aren't playing for anything.

Yep, and sometimes that how the cookie crumbles.

 

[Wamu]

KD never acted like this before he got to GS. Which obviously means the Warriors are a bad influence on him.

So, you think it's possible for the refs to never miss a call?

GMAFB.....

They could have 10 refs and that still wouldn't be enough.

In fairness, this year has been a Shit show.

But, everyone needs to improve..Refs and the players reaction to the refs.

[bksballer89]

Oh shit...

Did Durant really call that ref a Bitch ass Motherfucker and a N!gga?

If he did, he deserved that ejection.....lol

I say that to my friends all the time. I see no problem

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I say it to my husband when he tries to use a safeword.

Oh no, I've already said they're human too. But there's definitely been a difference this season. There are some situations when it's nearly impossible to make the right call in real time. We all know that. But that's not what we're talking about here. These calls they are missing are easy ones - the ones they should be able to officiate correctly. There's definitely training opportunities - unless there's something else going on.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

ok, BEYOND punked...

went straight to running like a terrified 8 year old girl...

Shit, it's a epidemic.

76ers’ Dario Saric: ‘I don’t want to play against LeBron’

Agree...

The refs have been tuuuuuuuurble.

They need to sprinkle the new ones in or make them start in the D League.

What is wrong with these dudes today? Even if you're scared, why would you give him that mental edge when you know there's a strong possibility you will play them?

 

[Black Adam]

starting to wonder if all the Eastern Conference is terrified o' this fool...

 

[LAD]

Oh, it's even worse than I thought...lol

Question, how can LBJ be 21-0 in the first round of the playoffs when he's only been in the league 15 seasons??

 

[Black Adam]

Bingo...!

even if i had a LITTLE aprehension it'd be a cold day in Hades before i'd ever publicly admit it...

NEVER, under any circumstances do you EVER give your opponent a mental edge over you.

 

[Black Adam]

NEVER, under any circumstances do you EVER give your opponent a mental edge over you.

i'll say this, it begs the question of what their respective coaches think of these...and i'll say it...COWARDLY comments...

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Outside of maybe LeBron and Serena, these to could combine to make the most spectacular basketball prodigy known to man.

That kid would have a scholarship by preschool.

Yeah, I'm trying to give these guys the benefit of the doubt because of a slight language barrier.

But, Derozan kissed Lebron's ring after the Cavs snuffed them out last year.
