2021-2022 NBA Season

exaggerate much? lol

Just a little bit. But it's funny that he missed the whole point of my comment. It wasn't about the refs at all. It was about tlance incorrectly claiming I get all my opinions about the refs from watching highlights on social media.

Something I've been waiting to ask him. But I was waiting until the topic of the refs was brought up again to ask that.

I never stop talking bruh

Constantly huh? And when's the last time I said anything about the refs?

Also when's the last time I said something about the refs "several times a day"?

Last time I mentioned them was in the Hornets game, possibly the worst call I have ever seen in my life. Yep, it's constant LOL that was over a month ago

The fact is the refs as a collective group have regressed, I mean it is obvious. It seems easy calls get blown more than ever but like I said, I am mainly watching Cavs game and they have been handed below average refs for most of the season accordingly to the statistics. The Lakers and Warriors have received the most experienced, best rated referees...coincidence lol

The Pistons would be above 500 if not for refs

Well damn the fn refs then

 

[thunderc]

It's also really bizarre how some folks have to constantly come on here to bitch and cry about every bad call they see.

Yes, refs makes bad calls, it happens. When the best compliment you can get after a game is that no one remembers you were there...you have an impossible job.

No one is claiming that the refs are perfect. But posting several times a day, virtually every day about how bad they are at their jobs and posting about virtually every bad call someone can find is getting old.

Ehhh, we all have things that piss us off or that we like and this is as good of a place as any to get them out lol. I’m pretty sure I don’t talk about the refs much but to me they are fair game like anything else.

 

[trojanfan12]

exaggerate much? lol

No. If anything, I downplayed it.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

One time a ref blew a call in my step sons b ball game.

I murdered him.

Literally.

Like with a knife.

Justified.

It was only 2 steps

 

[trojanfan12]

Constantly huh?

Yes.

And when's the last time I said anything about the refs?

Show me where I named you.

 

[trojanfan12]

I’m pretty sure I don’t talk about the refs much but to me they are fair game like anything else.

Who said they weren't? It's the almost daily bitching about them that gets old.

I guess it just doesn’t bother me much is all. There are plenty of things that do though lol.

I will say this..if I didn't watch a game and I'm looking at boxscores I look at two things. Points in paint and offensive rebounds when someone is bitching about calls. If the points in paint is drastically different and that team had more free throws...then it stands to reason the refs called a good game.

When you're launching more 3's and not being as aggressive you are going to be at a disadvantage at the line.

I don't see the issue when people bring up missed calls. Commentators does the same thing multiple times in a game. They are human and miss calls. We are human and call them out for the missed calls

 

[Wamu]

Yes.



Show me where I named you.

Now you're just outright lying. It's been a couple weeks since I mentioned the refs.

Yet you're trying to say I mention them daily. Find the exact comment of mine where I said something about the refs yesterday since you're now trying to incorrectly say I mention them daily.

All I'm doing is asking you to back up what you've accused me of. Yes I've mentioned them before, but it wasn't yesterday.

 

[bksballer89]

Expecting people on here to never bring up missed calls is silly.

Go watch any nba game and see a clear missed call and tell me what the commentators do.

Watch an nfl game in the fall and see a clear hold/pass interference or whatever and tell me what the commentators do

Watch and MLB game next month and see an ump call a strike way below the knee and tell me what the commentators do.

I am never going to turn a blind eye to obvious blown calls and not say a word about it

I think it's fair to discuss missed calls. But I also see from an nba, NHL, MLB standpoint where it's such a long grind you gotta let some of it go.

Football is a different deal. Every game matters.

 

[bksballer89]

I would get the point if every missed call is brought up but

I agree which is why I try to bring up only the obvious missed calls that should not be missed. Honestly there's usually 10-15 borderline/cheap calls per nba game where you say the refs could have let that slide.....usually split up close to even

Now who's lying?

 

[tlance]

How do you feel about the charge of preferential treatment towards stars both with calls and no-calls?

I read some data a few years back that was pretty damning on refs pretty much league wide seeming to imply that they "take care" of certain players throughout the season...even late in games in close contests.

Sorry if this is me reopening a can of worms that's been discussed on here before but I'd like some takes on it from you guys.

I have never liked it, and I think it is pretty clear that NBA officials do this. I especially hate that some stars seem to get to the free throw line easier than most players.

But the reality is that the NBA is entertainment. Fans are paying to watch the stars play, not sit on the bench in foul trouble.

So I get it.

 

[dtgold88]

Please.

Lance never said that, you're blowing hot air.....as usual.

In fact, Lance did own his mistake (and props for that)

question is will you?

Maybe try basing your comments on post and not poster and you wont make foolish comments like that again?
