NBA referees are SO awful. I mean theyre just awful.

[Akrazotile]

Watching the grizzlies-warriors series is just jaw dropping. And its not that the refs seem bias toward either squad, theyre just plain INCOMPETENT. Horrible calls going both ways. I mean the refs legit come off mentally challenged.

Adam Silver, I know you post here, is there anything that can be done??

Basically this. People keep talking about rigged. It's not rigged. These guys just suck.

Although, refereeing is harder than it looks so you cant be that upset.

[shootingcomets]

If only refs were some cyborgs with birds eye view on everything and can whip up slow mo replays on que.

oh wait they are on court, not watching a screen.

Yea they suck, but they are also human

[Genaro]

Some of the offensive fouls Grizzlies got away with were ridiculous, 2 they defensive fouls and another one they just let the game go on.
Somethings like contact on the player making a lay up is very hard and they'll make mistakes but they got to get right on the easy ones.

[outbreak]

They need a third umpire type system like cricket uses. Give them ear pieces and give a court side umpire screens and the ability to tell the on court officials what happened when a call is tough to tell. The NBA leagues everything in the on court officials hands which means if they do review it takes 5 minutes instead of having a dedicated official in an office watching the tape.

And yet younger people think the refs were calling illegal defense every time a team snuck in a zone back in the 80s and 90s.

That game had an obvious agenda. The two non-calls on charges at the end made it obvious. They called Curry for a lesser charge just seconds before.

Also, I know they never call it consistently, but I watched Randolph camp the paint for 10+ seconds on one play. The Warriors bench was even yelling about it for like 5 seconds. :oldlol:

I'm not a tinfoil hat type of dude but those 2 supposed blocking fouls on Green and Bogut were absolutely ridiculous. Like it doesn't get more of an easy call then that. I agree it was pretty shady.

Joey Crawford doin' work again. Dude ejected Taj Gibson for Delledova's leg lock and now went all out tryin' to force a game 7 in this series

And a clear out of bounds on Gasol too called out of bounds on random Warrior player 20 ft away from the ball and Curry shoved by Zach Randolph out of bounds, no call, Shaun Livingston slapped on arm while shooting jumper Bogut had like 1 foul called for 6 insanity

[Spurs5Rings2014]

People really don't think they want a game 7 in this situation?

:biggums:

You don't have to wear a tinfoil hat, you just have to have common sense.
