Don't think I ever disliked a player on Miami in my life more than I dislike Lowry

He is dragging it now. Outside of Tatum, none of these looked like fouls until you saw a slow motion replay. If it didn't look like a foul in live action then can't repost something like this.

Something like this couldn't have happened to a better team.

I'm not saying the Lakers deserved it. But they kinda did.

Spoelstra is so dumb.

Down 8 and the refs call a questionable foul on a 3.

Instead of challenging the call, he sits there with his hand folded and does nothing.

Heat back down 10

I keep saying all the Heat need is a coach who knows what he's doing

 

[The Q]

So here’s my final take


Lebron 100% should’ve been given a t for those ridiculous antics after the play

 

[tlance]

So by your logic we shouldn't be allowed to complain about players either. Or GM's or politicians. Or anything at all

No, I don’t agree with that.

Complaining is one thing.

It is saying they are bad at their jobs is what I push back on.

So yeah, you say an NBA player is bad at basketball? I will have the same reaction. Saying they aren’t good relative to other NBA players is not the same thing IMO. I think we all do that.

Politics? Also different. Don’t need any level of qualification to get elected these days.

NBA officials are at the top of their field.

Referee has straight forward response to LeBron James no-call in Celtics-Lakers

The no-call was controversial enough to warrant a pool report after the game, and crew chief Eric Lewis admitted the officials got it wrong.

Adam Himmelsbach (boston globe). "It looked like there was contact on LeBron's drive at the end of regulation. Why was there no foul call there and what did you see there?"

Eric Lewis. "There was contact. At the time, during the game, we did not see a foul. The crew missed that play."

It's rare for referees to openly admit mistakes, but this was a pretty obvious foul on Tatum.

Well it's now past time for the dam refs to be publicly held accountable for their way too often in-game mistakes.

Because it'll be a shame when a refs missed call costs a team a playoff win or a game in the Finals.

It happens every year in the playoffs.

Change the system.

Well Embiid was grabbing his arm, maybe not clear for a certain view, but with a good view it’s an easy call. The rake across the arm should he clear from a distance. If they call reaching in for a steal a foul most of the time then this should go in that category.

The best part. Eric Lewis. "There was contact. At the time, during the game, we did not see a foul.

So everyone saw it but the referee that had the best view in the arena? Was he staring off into space? Lol

Thinking about dinner plans probably

[The Q]

Talk about officiating

A huge automatic first down illegal hands to the face…and the guy was clearly being held

Just hard to see everything

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Ah, okay….

@Shanemansj13 @thunderc @bksballer89

Feel a bit better about mailing in the game against the Cavs since the Pelicans are doing the same against the Bucks.

We might not lose 4th in the West tonight.

But, the Timberpups have quietly crept up on everyone.

1 game back of both teams.

Christian Clark: Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum are OUT tonight in Milwaukee, Pelicans say.

Yeah, I get him being mad and deserves to be. But he's going too far with this.

Maybe he should add AD and Schroder missing free throws, a couple of late turnovers and Pat Bev getting t'd up after fouling Jalen Brown (the Lakers would have still been up 1 and inbounding the ball without it) to the list of things he doesn't understand.

Ain't that odd? Admitted to seeing contact and nothing was done about it.

Ooppss- the refs fucked up again. No big deal.

Maybe he should add his goaltending of iggy

 

[The Q]

I’ll add this.

You complain about nba officiating, and it’s awful

But holding in the nfl is basically a coin flip and OPI and is blatantly ignored

Basically we shouldn’t have refs by the time the playoffs start

Basically need a drone over the LOS to fall holding

Or everybody not named James and Bev....making just 2 of 23 treys.

They can be bad relative to other basketball players or refs.

I really think you can take specific offense because you have reffed

I don't disagree that sometimes the criticism is excessive or unwarranted tho
