NBPA vs. NBA refs

[Lakerman0834]

Its going down brehs... These losers started thinking they are the stars

Refs, NBPA meet to discuss growing tensions

Personally i saw during a 82 games season, players should be allowed one fight a year, with a fan, with a ref, or even a another player.

Would solve a lot of issues

Refs have been horrible all year...but nba players cry so much now...

Every time a player misses it is a foul...but every time a foul is called the player didn't commit the foul...

In the clippers vs spurs game some dude on the clippers hilariously carried the ball...got called for it...then cried to the ref over the next several possessions...

I don't see how the refs didn't stomp dude out...cause there is nothing worse than somebody telling you they didn't do something that you and everyone else watching saw them do...

I agree players need to stop complaining but the calls are so inconsistent across the board it frustrates players.

Cus nikkas be flopping. Refs dont know if you actually got hit or not in real time.

We look at slow mo sky cam views and go " how the fukk you ain't see that ref!" when really no normal human could've seen it from ground level at NBA speed.

Make flopping a tech + suspend refs that miss obvious calls.

Would fix a lot.

They mad the refs can't get the calls right? Like fouls on those flops?

 

[Admiral Ackbar]

Watching Harden last night was frustrating. He's in a triple threat stance to figure out how he can fool a ref into calling a foul. Many of the shooting fouls he drew were phantom calls.

Why do players need to stop complaining? What spineless subservient bullshyt is that?

Referees in the NBA get shyt wrong.... A LOT....

But somehow calling them out on their mistakes is this egregious line that cant be crossed

fukkbois like Joey Crawford, Tony Brothers and others should have been kicked out of the sport years ago.....

The refs could use some public professional censure for their mistakes.....and in fact players should be allowed to grade them and that grade should be taken into account by the players union, the NBA board of governors, the rules committee...

If you dont make a passing grade for 2 years then get the fukk out the league...

 

[GetInTheTruck]

I don't fukk with these fakkit ass refs but let's be real, players literally do argue every damn call, regardless if they are right or wrong.

Okay so not complaining = spinless

But flailing around like a helicopter at the slightest contact =....boss moves huh?

No shyt they miss a lot. Have you ever sat floor level at an NBA game? (Or even on a lower level period?) The whole gotdamn game is a blur. Add in the fact that these dudes are 40, 50, 60 and running suicides the whole game...yeah breh they're gonna miss calls.

You know what would help them out tho? Not going dead fish status every time somebody touches your upper body on a drive to the hoop

i think NBA refs do a decent job

You read what I wrote and that is what you took from it.....ok

So let me get this straight......your argument is that the game is fast paced so we should accept the fact that they regularly make egregious mistakes?

Just a week ago they made a call that was so atrocious in the OKC vs Pacers game that even with video review after the fact it WAS INEXPLICABLY BAD

The fact that they are as you say "40, 50, 60" is no excuse......

I am not even saying that all NBA referees are terrible....my point was that there are some that are quite a few whom are several standard deviations worse than what is acceptable

The speed argument doesnt hold because speed is a defining factor in most professional sports

As for the flopping......sure athletes could probably cut it out....IF REFS COULD BE CONSISTENT ABOUT WHAT THEY CALLED AND WHOM THEY CALLED IT FOR

Although I agree w/you, you gotta consider the fact that it 3 refs on the floor. I think having one or two more may help (2 for each end, then a "runner/crew chief" setup). Tbh tho I think them nikkas all be watching the same thing sometimes
