And?

You have never made a mistake?

I am very good at my job too, but I make mistakes every day.

Maybe once a month.....and not crazy mistakes. Last night fall under crazy mistake that shouldn't happen. There are 3 refs on the court. Can't sit here and tell me all of them didn't realize the whistle was blown seconds before

It was a terrible call.

My guess is that they thought the contact occurred before the whistle.

It clearly didn’t, but it is the only explanation for the call.

--->I would love a live feed on some of you all doing your jobs. Every time you make a mistake we could all jump in an rail about how incompetent you are.<--- :crazy:

Holt shit man really? Just priceless. Thanks for the laugh.

It is the truth.

It is like you guys never watch basketball at other levels.

Officiating basketball is impossibly hard. They make mistakes and miss calls all the time.

Unless you want games to take 4 hours and go camera review on every call, there is no solution to this.

So just accept that bad calls happen.

Did the refs not hear the whistle?

Sure.

And mistakes like that one are rare also.

Not all jobs are equal. Some are easier than others to get it right.

NBA officiating isn’t one of those.

I am sure they did.

It is a processing thing.

You see something unexpected happen, then sometimes the mind plays tricks when you play it back and try to recall it.

It was an awful call.

But why the hell is Ed Davis touching a player on the court to begin with? He needs to stay on the bench and only concern himself with his team.

I have no idea what you do.

But if you claim to make 1 mistake a month, you are either being disingenuous or you have have a job that allows you time to go back and review your work.

If you have to make decisions in real time (like I do, and like officials do) you will 100% make mistakes.

Nah, I’ve got baseball for that, and 4 hours is undershooting it sometimes. Lol

Eh, I think your interpretation is misleading.

The wolves want smart, I think bostkn would trade him in the right deal, but is not shopping him
Right...I mean, I'm sure they "have interest" in a number of really good players.

Probably one you dont want to watch…no Garland again. They need to make a move at the deadline
Have to admit I thought this one might be ugly for us...and was almost certain after the first. Hell of a win!!

Have to imagine this got a lot of run by here is my take on the tech/3 shots......

I'm rarely Blame the Ref Guy but this one was bizarre. Wasn't just the typical bad call or no call but I've never seen anything like this...ever. How did the ref who blew his whistle calling the play OOB/dead not intervene and make sure this didn't happen (the 3 shots)?

what's next....calling goaltending when the defender swats away these fake shots after the whistle?

Goodwin stepped up again. Actually started moving without the ball. Cedi and Rondo need to sit the rest of the game
Thought that....but have to admit Rondo was a help at times. Just needs to stop shooting and get rid of ball quicker.

Few questions for you NBA gurus.

1) how good is luca? He is young. What his career trajectory? an all timer?

2) who are a few young guys to watch develop, not the obvious names?
Luka is generational talent good.

As long as he doesn't show up fat, AGAIN, to start the Season he will be a multiple time MVP.

Youngins to watch?

Ja, Mobley, Scottie Barnes, Herro, Kuminga, Garland, Ball * bees version* , Giddey, Duarte and baby Wagner in Orlando * they have two *, Tre Mann, Davion Mitchell.

Some of those guys are obvious. But, they are so damn good I mentioned them anyway.

The crazy thing is they discussed it for a few minutes. You think a crazy decision like that was video worthy. Nope instead they decide to award points for a play that was blown dead. That isn’t a mistake, that’s just being bad at your job. I would like to see a suspension but I doubt it.
