Adam Silver says, "Sorry, suckers! You can't get your money back!"

and sudoku should be fined 200k for dissing the refs, amirite?

 

thank god it is just a regular season game, please dont let this happen in the playoffs

 

According to who they play. GSW, Lakers, Spurs no doubt fixes.

 

Sorry to let you know but the Rockets are going to have to beat each team by 12 points just to win by 2.

 

It's slowly starting to feel like the NBA is pointless. Silver has ruined the NBA.

 

Has there been a news release about Udoka's fine? If I were him, I would politely decline to pay. The suspension would be totally worth it for all the airtime that would focus on the refs and missed calls.

 

It might give us time to audition Sullivan as a bench coach as well. He couldn’t do any worse with the rotations.

 

So.....Ime wasn't imagining things?

Next time we play OKC or Denver or Lakers we'll hear the narrative, "The Rockets are 0-3 (or) 0-4 (whatever) against the elite teams in the West."

We'll just have to be better prepared for the refs next time:

 

League needs to take it one step further and when you acknowledge your mistakes, remove the points you gave the team and if that ends up in a tie, you've got to give both teams a win. If it reduces the other team to a loss then you fix the results and flip the outcome.

The NBA is f'ing itself with its corruption and eventually it will go down but hopefully not before those profiting off of it go to jail.

 

Referees don't get Fined or Suspended.

They need to be held Accountable.

Scott Foster, Tony Brothers, Zach Zarba, John Goble are still in the League.

If we remember the Referees names, it means it is a Corrupt League starting with Adam Silver.

 

I started losing respect when TNT starting selling the NBA as "Drama". It became evident to me at that time that the league wasn't pure sport. Of course there has been corruption in all leagues dating back to their beginnings but turning the NBA into a soap opera is where I draw the line and no one has helped propagate that more than LeBitch, Diddys personal c*m dumpster. I wish the league would just go back to the way it was in the 80's and 90's when they played to win and it got chippy AF because it was real.

 

I usually need to watch replays of games nowadays. This one I caught live. It was really frustrating watching the refs steal the game away from us in real time. It was so blatant.

 

They do lose the rights/privileges to ref the playoffs. I thought I read a while back that they have a committee that reviews every call and scores the refs and they do use that to determine which refs get another contract and ref the playoffs.

 

I’m sure the committee is completely unbiased. Maybe the ones don’t get re-hired are the ones that don’t call the game the way Silver wanted it called. Remember the Yao conspiracy that was proven correct that cost Van Gundy $100k and his job? I sure wish the FBI could find a whistleblower on these cheating bastards and send a couple to prison or at least bankrupt them.

 

The Amen tripping call was worse than the non call when gsw Durant saved ball from out of bounds. At least that happened in game time speed with no replay. The Amen phantom trip was REPLAYED and still called wrong WTF.

 

It is increddddibly close. I think the shin makes the slightest of contact with the back of his heel. I don't think they showed this angle on the broadcast. But considering it did cause him to trip, I guess you have to call it... I was hoping they'd come back from review and just call it an inadvertent whistle.

 

One bad call in the clutch I can abide, people make mistakes, but they had like what, 4?

 

That is not a foul on Amen, incidental contact is not a foul....sorry, that was a ref covering her ass for a shitty call.
