    Refs gone wild: a place to complain about NBA referees and propose solutions to improving officiating

    So this is an obvious travel, right? Felt it was absurd that it wasn’t called but also was surprised by the reaction of the announcers who seemed to think it was an impressive play.. Coby White travel?

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    I think it needs to be emphasized how close Ohtani is to Mizuhara. He is not simply his “interpreter”; he is his best friend and constant companion. in fact, their closeness is covered (in the Japanese media) to the point that Mizuhara has even become a minor celebrity in his own right...

    Refs gone wild: a place to complain about NBA referees and propose solutions to improving officiating

    Which is ironic considering it is the most difficult sport to officiate, making ref error a fundamental characteristic of the game.

    Refs gone wild: a place to complain about NBA referees and propose solutions to improving officiating

    If there has been issues related to the rims being out of alignment after these types of dunks the NBA should talk about that issue, they haven’t which makes me pretty certain this is just the typical NBA peevishness that leads to clapping (sometimes) also being a tech. Honestly, the ref...

    Refs gone wild: a place to complain about NBA referees and propose solutions to improving officiating

    Right. That’s another huge issue. But I don’t think you are going to ever get rid of clapping or raising arms even if they were more consistent and I don’t see why anyone would care (other than the refs) if they did. It’s almost as bad as the stupid hanging on the rim tech, which seems...

    Jaylen Brown: Will he be enough in Year 8?

    Agreed. Would have loved to have seen Tillman get more play last night as I think he’s probably the Cs best defensive option against Jokic. Strength, not height, seems to be the most important factor for guarding him and Tillman has got to be the strongest guy on the team.

    Refs gone wild: a place to complain about NBA referees and propose solutions to improving officiating

    Yes, this league needs to hold their refs more accountable. Techs should not be used for things like clapping or raising arms. It’s just not important. The only one that cares are the refs themselves -and nobody is watching to see them play. This is the most frustrating part of the NBA’s...

    3/7 - Catch-22 in Mile High

    Porzingis facing up against Jokic was really not working - he needs to rethink that.

    3/7 - Catch-22 in Mile High

    I don’t know any Celtics fans who root against Tatum. But to pretend like he didn’t have a horrible game would be hard..

    3/7 - Catch-22 in Mile High

    Tatum is really off - similar to how he looked in the fourth quarter against Cleveland

    2023-24 Celtics

    Saw this on Facebook: “The Celtics scored 7 points in crunch-time last night and they all stemmed from Kristaps Porzingis touches. In the clutch, he has a 22% usage rate and 87% TS, while Jayson Tatum has a 32% usage rate and 50% TS. Running more offense through KP late would benefit the Celtics.”

    Refs gone wild: a place to complain about NBA referees and propose solutions to improving officiating

    I might have agreed with you until I read @PedroKsBambino’s post earlier in this thread. The ref stated that the "leg extension by Tatum created the marginal contact" but apparently per PKB “The rule does not ask who created the contact, it asks whether the extension of the leg was unnatural.”...
