NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[bksballer89]

Refs have been missing calls for the history of sports.

Expedited review makes it far better than it has EVER been before.

So your constant complaining just comes off as emotional BS.

And you never responded to my analogy.

The best NBA shooters miss 60% of their 3s.

Do they suck at their jobs too?

Not really the same. There is a reason i used the surgeon comparison

I suggest you reconsider this comparison, I mean seriously.

Only the ones that play for the Lakers.

Lol

It will be really interesting to see the explanation for this one

Yeah, that one was rough…lol

Do the Ravens have a chance today?

Im rooting for them for nostalgia sake.

 

[bksballer89]

Im all for Lamar sitting because he's not 100% and dont want risk further injury and missing out on a huge bag but not traveling? Horrible look

That might apply if surgeons were operating on patients while they were running around.

Apples and oranges.

You want refs to have a similar success rate to surgeons and that is wildly unrealistic.

No, but I’m glad someone is rooting with me lol.

You only need one reason to root for the Ravens, Burrows extremely punchable face.

Maybe his knee swells up when he gets on a plane like Kawhi?

Yup.

….a bunch of bullshit…lol

No, it is a solid analogy.

I gave an example of a profession where 40% success is a really good thing.

Officiating is tremendously difficult. There are freakishly athletic humans hurling themselves at each other at high rates of speed.

The human eye is never going to accurately see every play in real time. It just isn’t possible.

And @bksballer89 is on here freaking out about a missed call just about every day.

What about the tuck rule…

How did you feel about that when it happened?

I was beside myself with anger.

That was pre-twitter.

So, I didn’t get a chance to get my rage on….lol

No need to lie about me

 

[thunderc]

Lol they call a baltimore player for taunting after tackling Perine while simultaneously 2 linemen are punching each other. Lol

Likely going to be the first under of the playoffs so far

Devils advocate now that we are besties again…..

He does it so much because you take the bait.

……almost every single time.

Like, it’s pure sarcasm when he posts refs are the best!!

Sometimes he’s legitimately griping.

Others?

I thought that was crap.

I will never say bad calls don’t happen.

Just not going to say pro officials are bad at their jobs.

I have seen bad officiating. I think some on here would blow their brains out if they had to watch a game featuring a poorly graded high school crew.
