The review system needs to be eliminated or reformed

[Clipper Nation]

Marc Spears was on NBA sattelite radio earlier and he mentioned that each team has a review board that sets up the reviews that the refs get to see, and MethKC's board purposely chose the shitty TV angles for the out-of-bounds call instead of the better angles on the Jumbotron....

How is this anything other than a huge conflict of interest? This gives team employees a way to blatantly rig or influence officiating!

As far as I'm concerned, the NBA needs to do two things: 1.) investigate MethKC's replay board and dole out the appropriate punishment to the team if it turns out they purposely chose the worst possible angles, and 2.) change the replay system to a centralized system at NBA HQ like the NFL and NHL do, or just get rid of it altogether....

This doesn't let Choke Paul off the hook, but it's unbelieveable that the NBA has allowed this sham to go on....

[Budkin]

I was not even aware of that. The fact that it's not independent is laughable.

[baseline bum]

That's a pretty serious accusation. You got a link for that? Surely Spears would write about this if it's true, since that's his job.

[celticfan]

The OP right now = :cry

[baseline bum]

I just read Spears' article on ESPN and he says OKC claimed they used the same angles on the review as they did on Jumbotron.

:cry LeBron travels on every play!!! :cry

Yes, but the refs said they "didn't have the right replays":

Rivers and Paul said they were told by the referees that they didn't have the right replay to change the call. That contention is likely what sparked Rivers to yell at Bennett, the Thunder owner, after the game.

"We did a lot of stuff in the game ourselves," Rivers said. "But at the end of the day, we have a replay system that you're supposed to look at it. I don't want to hear that they didn't have that replay. That's a bunch of crap."

They only got to see two angles whereas the crowd at the stadium reportedly were shown several more....

[Captivus]

The replay help if the officials can actually call what they see, in this case a foul on Jackson...2FTs. But they cant, even if they see it. So they fix one mistake (missed foul) with another (LAC ball).
Why cant they just call the foul...who cares if you are not reviewing that.

Imagine if a player waits until the officials are distracted (lets say watching a replay) and hits Durant with a hammer, Durant has to go out.
That player will surely gonna get a few games penalty...BUT...can they eject him? I mean, they didnt see it, and they CANT use the replay for that.

Yet, if your team won and benefited from it you'd be like this

":lol Salty ass OKC fans, :cry we didn't choke it was because of the instant replay"

[celticfan]

Lofl I have no dog in this race but it's funny to see what sore loser fans do to turn something into a conspiracy. The Clippers lost, get over it.

[Clipper Nation]

Not sure why everyone's trying to make it out as "whining," I clearly stated in the OP that it doesn't let Choke Paul off the hook :lol

I actually blame Choke a lot more than I blame the refs.... I was just shocked to hear that the league actually lets teams pick the replay angles :lol

Apparently the Clippers aren't the first team to complain about this, either, it's a common complaint around the league that MethKC in particular pulls this shit :lol

He is such a bitch! LOL

[ffadicted]

Whoa I def didn't know each home team controlled what camera angles are shown.... that's insane?

[celticfan]

LOL the Clippers lead at one point 101-88. From there on they choked hard!

[Thebesteva]

He is such a bitch! LOL

Its his Korean nature to deflect.

I agree, it is pretty funny:

two quick fouls on Pierce.



Brooklyn sucks. Pierce was called for two ticky fouls.


Miami taking advantage of the refs giving them some expensive foodstamps. That's all



Lebron gets away with the most travels in the league.



Miami gets away with so much on defense. They're allowed to play so physically. They are lucky not to have been called for more fouls.



Don't be mad that I'm calling him out for shit he gets away with.



LOFL another travel!



Lol that call



It's amazing that Lebron travels on every play and doesn't get called for it.



That call and the refs are so quick to give Lebron more foodstamps. Lol calling that a clear path.

[Fpoonsie]

:wow

Gotdamn. CN bullyin' niggas in tha paint.

[unforeseen]

I agree, it is pretty funny:

CN giving celticfan RAW ass to mouth. :lol

[Budkin]

:lmao celticfan just got squished.

Every Clipper Nation post that is Thunder related has some variation of "RefKC" and "Thunderrefs" in it.

Bitchmade fan! LOL

This doesn't let Choke Paul off the hook

I actually blame Choke a lot more than I blame the refs....


Beyond the terrible officiating, I'm officially done with this $107 million mental midget.... he put the game in the hands of the refs once and for all with his idiotic prevent offense down the stretch and his unclutch turnovers.... this was after disappearing on offense and at the free throw line for pretty much all of the first round, too....

This guy is never getting any further than the second round as anything other than a role player, end of story....

[celticfan]

Are you retarded? Almost every post you have made since last night's epic choke has had the word "officiating" in it.

Calling CP0 out doesn't absolve you from being a bitch. LOL

When you choke a big lead down to a close game, which Choke Paul did by trying to run out the shot clock instead of running the offense, it enables a bad call to decide the game.... so yes, I am absolutely blaming Choke Paul more than the refs, though it still doesn't excuse the blown calls.... regardless of those calls, if Choke had simply played basketball down the stretch instead of the basketball equivalent of a QB kneel, this would have been a win in spite of it, end of story....

Keep deflecting from the fact that EVERY one of your posts during the last Heat/Nets game was about either LeBron "traveling" or Miami "getting foodstamps from the refs," though :lol

[Clipper Nation]

Somehow I missed this post as well:


lmao more foodstamps for that undeserving bitchmade pussy
Bitchmade fan AND hypocrite! :lol

"Coincidentally," so does nearly every article from any NBA writer this morning.

[Spurs9]

Did the Clips intentionally throw that game to piss off Sterling tbh?

[Clipper Nation]

Another problem with the replay - Tony Brothers claimed that they were shown overhead views of the play...

In reality, they were only shown the sideline view, not the "overhead" views Brothers was claiming:

Not only did they screw up, they blatantly lied to try to cover their asses....

Oops

[RsxPiimp]

Oh god, the Clippers sucked ass and we're all up in arms about a call that should've been called a foul to begin with.

Nobody deserves this more than the Clippers who flopped their way into the Playoffs.

Nobody denies that we sucked down the stretch, does that excuse the refs for blatantly lying?

:lmao As if Durbeta, Fisher and Westbrook aren't the absolute worst floppers in the league.... try watching the games instead of listening to the Media narratives...

I like you CN and you know that, but I just fucking hate your team, so I'm pretty biased against anything Pro Clippers at this point. :lol

Donald Sterling is spinning in his cancer right now, poor ol' sport
