Officiating a NBA game is extremely hard...



Yeah, that is a good excuse. "Sorry we suck, officiating is really hard so expect a lot of bad calls througout the game. It isn't our fault"
 


Officiating any professional league contest is difficult as is major college football and basketball. Unless you're a message board poster.

Human eyes can only do so much. It's not an excuse, it's a damn good reason. Easy for you to make the call in slow motion bud.
 


I have less of a problem with them not calling fouls like the last play with Lebron and Durant and more of a problem of them calling fouls anticipating contact and then there isn't any. They were going a lot of the latter early in the game. Drives me nuts.

I agree. I'd rather see a no call, over a bad call.
 


All I know is that I've reffed Jr. High girls games and I sucked at it. Missed calls happen, especially when the ref is out of position like he was on the final Durant shot.
 














I don't care which team one is rooting for, the referees have gradually taken over the game, dictating the momentum and seriously affecting the flow of the game for both teams. Their authority has gone to their heads. There are entirely too many fouls called, obvious flops should not be called and there are flop artists on almost every team. So many fouls could go either way, and should probably not be called, depending on the game situation at the time. I agree with the nocall against LaBron. With the time remaining, the rule used to be let them play unless it is blatantly obvious. The players should be the ones dictating the pace and flow of the game not the referees.....

Perhaps I am the only one irritated when a foul is called almost every time down the court for both teams at certain times of the game, but it is tiresome and takes away much of the enjoyment of the game.....

This season in college basketball, it was rare to see a fairly called game, again no matter which team you wanted to win. The amount of fouls called is ridiculous under any circumstances. I refuse to mention Teddy Valentine who went completely overboard with his theatrics one game. I also refuse to mention Eddie Hightower who is universally despicable to any serious basketball fan of any team. Power corrupts authority in most instances and in the case of the referees, pro and college it certainly has done so.....

Merely my humble opinion and is based on personal observation which is one-sided, of course.....

My sincere apologies it I have offended anyone's sensibilities......

There is no god damn rule in any rule book to not call a foul at the end of the game like that....you making that up is pretty god dang funny but that it is. A foul is a foul no matter if it happens in first 30 seconds or last and any ref that thinks otherwise is not worth a crap anyway...

Ill cry if want to.

NBA officials routinely get calls wrong. At least from the games I watch. It is a disgrace. And it has been going on for years.

I don't find it weird to want to hold someone in a profession to a high standard if they are supposed to be doing it on the highest level. Same with NFL refs. If they can't do their job they either need to be trained better, replaced, or Stern needs to figure something out.

Hey brah, don't worry, I'll call the wham-bulance for you. Jeebus, get over it already. It's called human error. Also, I bet you would suck as an official.

P.S.- I'll make sure that I try my best to get replay implemented for EVERY single call in EVERY pro sport that you care about so you don't have to cry like a little ***** the whole next day. Then games will take an average of 4 hours to complete. Who doesn't want that, right!?

Why do you watch basketball if it upsets you so much.....

Take a break, Bro, high blood pressure and all that can be devastating.....

:D
 


I stopped watching it long time ago, I blamed on BO Ryan and Todd Lickinlighter. I don`t care how successful they are. They ruin my taste in basketball
