NBA officiating is a joke

[james evans]

It looked to me simmons was going to get up to try to block lebron before foul on patty was called. Also that "foul" on simmons on Kyrie was probably one of the worst I've ever seen seriously.

no this is, and guess who's involved in this?


some of this is obvious

They need to add a fourth and five court official who just stands around the rim to make below the rim calls. The game is way too fast to rely on three officials.

They have trouble finding three solid officals they would have to add a couple dozen refs to make that work.

I'd rather two coaching challenges, allowing coaches to challenge:

Traveling
Whether a player stepped out of bounds
Goaltending (offensive and defensive)
block/charge

If a coach wins a challenge he gets an extra one and if he loses he gets docked a timeout (same as NFL)

Do you guys really think the NBA wants Cavs-Spurs in the finals again? The least watched Finals in history, IIRC.

It's obvious how much the league is trying to push that little down our throats. Lebron is in his 30's and they need a new face. The NBA won't let Curry lose.

The only video their channel uploaded when Detriot blew out GS:

I really don't think that they care. S.A is the second best team in the NBA. Having a one sided Finals is much worse than a competive one. The first Heat-Spurs series was an instant classic.
The WCF is where the ratings are going to be at, with GSW vs S.A./OKC.

Wont even win many games against a crappy teams when the refs are making those calls, let alone the Cavaliers.

I don't think the Warriors want any of the Clippers, tbh... They're probably the team that causes them the most problems, even more than SA.

Social media has made the refs have to be less blatant about their cheating. Sometimes, we still get stuff like this.....

I wish I was an NBA announcer so that I could actually be paid to verbally slap the audience....

"Best officials in the world."

He did, he also travelled ...

That bald official showcasing what he's got. In playoff form for Stern Jr, tbh.
