Official Referee Whining Thread (I have merged over 10 threads here)

[Mavs_man_41]

The officiating is god awful league-wide and has been that way for years. You can't bash opposing teams' fans when you win for complaining and then promptly do they exact same thing they do when you lose.

I dont complain win we lose, the better team always wins as in games 1,2, and 3.

[Mavs_man_41]

The mavs didnt win fair and square. That was obviously a horribly called game that gave the Mavs the win. No question about it. Lets say there is no agenda by the league here - even so, this league allows extremely incompetent officials to continue to screw up games. That isnt right and they should replace them. Why havent they? If you want to gloat in this illigetimate victory then so be it, but dont ing whine ONCE when these incompetent officials screw your team over again buddy...

if professional basketball was fixed we would know about it right now, just like the 1919 world series.

Face it, the NBA has become nothing more than the WWE with a ball. When you get that through your head, repeat it a couple of times, it takes some of the sting out of it.

Saying it's fixed taints the Spurs' championship they won last year. It makes no sense...

If you think this way then why are u here. If the nba is fixed then why care about it enough to post here.

Except for the fact that high school basketball is much more rough and and THE FOULS ARE NOT called the same. You can get away with much more in high school basketball.

Not true. High school games have traditionally been called tighter. I call traveling when a player picks up his pivot foot before putting down a dribble. I call players for jumping on another players back for a rebound. I call players for hooking and illegal screens. These arent called much in the NBA. If the NBA wants to have a looser game, then fine. But do it every game for every team that plays. When teams start to get screwed over and the officiating is consistently lopsided then there is a serious problem.

We agree on basketball alot and hate eachother's politics.

thats so not true, in high school players get away with much more contact and there are alot more no-calls.

ing Stern fixed that one too...

[samikeyp]

I thought the league just fixed games for the Lakers.

[Mavs_man_41]

I don't get it if the NBA is fixed then why are u all still here. If it was fixed it would all be stupid and pointless.

Or the Suns, Sonics, and Nuggets.

[Winnipeg_Spur]

Anyone say anything about those two seconds that disappeared near the end there? They blew the whistle to send Nowitzki to the line with about 10 seconds left, and the clock didn't stop until it was at 7.9, they never corrected it, either.

Not that this would've changed the outcome or anything, but it did seem a little odd and I would like an explanation of how the refs can let that happen at the end of a really close playoff game.

It's very possible. That's why I am so pissed. I want to watch teams win fairly, and the entire league has allowed refs to perform horribly with no reprocussion. No one is replaced. No one is fined or suspended. Players and Coaches are fined or suspended if they point out these lopsided, horrible jobs. I know the Pistons and Mavs have been screwed before and have benefited from their opponents being screwed just like the Spurs. This isnt about the Spurs. It's about incompetent officials being retained - which makes the league look su ious.

They tend to fix all the games that your team loses. Funny how it works that way, eh?

I did notice that. I guess the timekeeper was trying to get the clock down as much as he could. It worked. The Spurs had to take a bad shot at the end.

I noticed that too, just add it to the list.

I knew you believed it.

It depends on who calls the games. In region one in dallas that may be the case. Here in region 4 we call it close. But that doesnt matter... what does matter is that the games are called fairly most of the time. That means consistent for both teams. And we arent professionals. So why cant the professionals do the same?

more excuses.....hey guess what if the spurs were ahead they wouldnt have needed that bad shot. Sometimes there are bad calls, good teams makes sure they dont affect the outcome
