OKC and GS play so well as a team it's insane. I just am not sure how either team in the east can handle that for 7 games

Well, if the ref would have called that a travel, the game would have lasted an extra hour.

Very true, also I'll let you know when I'm perfect and thus can criticize a ref.

I'm not saying you can't criticize the refs but you guys go over the top every night with all this stupid BS. Logical and intelligent people understand that calls will be missed from time to time but overall they do a great job.

That's a fact. Tell me more about your referee evaluations are better than that of the NBA though!

That no call in the vid I posted is unacceptable. There is no way around it.

No one goes over the top. We point out missed calls. Then the league releases press releases stating the calls were missed. You say we are going over the top when all we're doing is pointing out missed calls.

Don't be so dramatic.

Do you think the ref should be fired?

It's a useless discussion to have. Why even bother pointing it out? You seriously could just name this thread "NBA Ref whining 2015-2016" and it would be more accurate.

I'd rather stick to the game itself instead of 20/20'ing the refs every whistle.

Reprimanded.

9 step walk, 5 feet from the ref, no call. In the fucking conference finals of the best league in the world.

Like I said, unacceptable.


Grow a set and make the correct fucking call.

Again, you're exaggerating. 95% of the comments here during games are not about the refs. Just because the refs miss an obvious call and we mention it on here doesn't mean we are constantly bitching about refs. You're full of shit with your hyperboles.

I'm sure the ref was reprimanded. Are you privy to internal NBA affairs to know that he wasn't?

Trust me tonight we will see plenty of posts about how bad the refs are while you all still continue to tune in game after game. Apparently, the refs are good enough to keep you interested. If you really feel the refs are shit, stop watching; otherwise enjoy the game and stop crying.

Right. We should stop watching the NBA because 1 out of 10 posts on a message board are complaints about the refs. Brilliant.

If you really feel this thread is shitty, because we won't stop criticizing the refs, stop reading/posting; otherwise enjoy the thread and stop crying.

I find it 10x hard to watch college basketball because of the refs then the NBA. Certain refs can ruin games but most are adequate.

lol pwned.

I think Sleeper is a elementary ref with hopes of making it to the big leagues. Prob JOs to Joey Crawford every night. Sad.
