Bickerstaff calls out officials during press conference.

Yeah, no one wants to see us in the playoffs because we don't deserve it.

 

Bickerstaff has got to go. Lord almighty his player rotations are ridiculous. He doesnt have a good feel for the game and he still hasnt addressed the awful defense, team isnt responding to him and Morey and Les are too cowardly to do something about it.

 

Christ, dude, could you be as verbose about the topic? Do you think Bickerstaff was wrong to call out the officials for their absurd calls the last two games? Do you have an opinion on that? If you posted your opinion in this thread and I missed it, my apologies. If not, what on earth does your post have to do with our coach calling out the refs for failing to do their jobs in a competent way?

 

My opinion is he should've done it a lot sooner. This Dwight abuse has been going on all season. It took us until game 50 to address it.

 

The nba is joke status.

 

I know there might have been some bad calls, but did the referees coach defense, or leave in Clint Capela for a possession or two too long, and then take him out the game under two minutes when he probably should have been left in since the team was playing well besides the free throw shooting while he was in the game?

 

I want to see les/morey step up and take responsibility for any fine levied against JB

I still thinks he sucks as a coach and his rotations baffle me - but last night he acted like a man. Cost JVG 100k last time a rockets coach made similar comments. That's a hell of a lot of dough to a guy like JB

 

Sorry if I hurt your feelings.

 

JB is immature , he needs to learn how to communicate to the refs better during the game . I agree that the refs were trash last night . He needs to say something like this during a timeout ...., " hey the game is getting out of control , if you are going to continue letting them beat on Dwight without a call then we are going to increase physicality on our end and someone is going to get hurt . "

He needs to learn how to make a threat during the game . The NBA isn't going to do **** about it now except fine him . He needs to rally his team around the bad calls during the game , not after we already lost . He needs to tell his guys on the floor to communicate the exact same thing to the other team . Let them know that we are going to take matters into our own hands to protect Dwight if the refs won't . He needs to be a leader and stick up for every player on the team . If he is calm and serious about this during the game then either the refs will stop calling bs , the other team will exercise caution , or if it comes to it we take out someone .

If a team takes out someone it puts intense pressure on the refs to call the game extremely tightly otherwise they risk actual scrutiny .

 

So I guess they're doing us a favor???

The officiating in this league has sucked for years... The NBA is more concerned with 'molding its product' rather than respecting the sport... superstar calls and allowing flopfest pretty much epitomize bad officiating... yeh, fine a millionaire a few grand for flopping - big deal...

I'm glad JB called 'em out! Hopefully the organization will step up and cover the fine...

the tech on JB was beyond stupid... so the refs arent doing their job so you're gonna penalize the ROX with a tech for their own ineptness?!? c'mon now...

 

It was pretty amazing when JB said the Ref admitted seeing him call a timeout but chose not to acknowledge it. Then proceeds to give a tech. That's just insulting. WTF?

 

I would have sympathy for Dwight, but him picking up stupid techs is his problem, not a ref problem. Happens way too often, and he needs to learn. He can't lose his head.

 

Hey Cod,

I would respect him more if he stood up for his players in the game and not in a press conference.....

I guarantee you if he did that he would have gotten a lot more respect from his players.

T_Man

 

Anyone got a gif of JB staring at the ref at the end of the game. It was basically this.

 

J.B. is right. Is anything going to be done to correct the problem? No. Is he going to be fined for speaking the truth? Yes. Does the NBA care? No, unless the revenue goes down.

 

This is slowly turning me against the NBA

I don't understand why ANYONE would think JBB is the right guy for the job, he was in charge of the DEFENSE, and what is wrong with this team this year? THE DEFENSE?

Who hires a guy that is in charge of the biggest weakness on a team and expects it to change?

I mean did the Texans elevate their special teams coach?

Unreal.
