Ime Udoka blasts officiating after Rockets loss to Kings 12/3/2024

Don't know about that but they should send then to officiate the G league for 2 weeks, no pay.

 

Built so different

 

It's hard to stomach NBA officiating. It always has been. I have a hard time getting excited about our chances of ever winning another Championship in such a corrupt and blatantly biased game of sport. It's stuff like last night and all the years of watching the Warriors, Lebron, and the rest of the league's money making Golden boys get away with blatant crap and get gifted tik tack fouls that makes me not even want to watch basketball any more.

Football officiating is bad enough, but basketball scores are far easier to manipulate by officials.

 

You know your sport can be rigged easily when drafts are lotteries because everyone knows players can be told to miss key shots.

 

If I'm allow to hack and push and foul . . .. you won't be able to score well on me

Rocket River

 

Jalen got HIT IN THE FACE on purpose, no Flagrant foul.

DD

 

Same as what was done to Alpi in the game before. The refs really aren't good.

 

Lol love Ime, straight shooter. Glad he said what needed to be said.

 

Ime clearly walked into the room with a $25,000 budget and was determined to get his money's worth. Mission accomplished.

 

Several of the pick fouls were on the ball handler not giving them time to get set. They need to work together on that.

 

While you ain't bullshittin'....



The refs:

 

With as well as the Kings were shooting, I doubt this would change the game, but pet peeves of mine are:
1) fouls to the body on weak ball challenges. One blatant one last night was Sengun taking a hook near the front of the free throw circle and Sabonis instead of jumping vertically much, kept his arms vertical as his body slide into Sengun. Sabonis ended up where Sengun would have landed (this is basically what Bowen use to do to three point shooters). I don't remember if the shot even touched the front of the iron.
2) fouls to the head not close to the ball that aren't flagrant. Refs aren't mind readers. If a player gets fouled hard in the head, the refs should not be able to assume a player didn't mean to foul a player hard on the head without coming reasonably close to the ball. If you foul a player hard without a reasonable chance of getting the ball, you should not get the benefit of the doubt.

 

Was saying this before the game started. It was like some Jabari/Paolo ****. Crazy to think this is all happening when the NBA has gone to bed full time with Vegas.

Before there was just schedule losses. Now there's also "Vegas losses". If you're line is moving funny or looks funny before the game you know you're in for shenanigans.

 

Refs stopped play so that the trainers could
tend to the blood near Jalen s eye.

Even jailhouse rules state no blood no foul.

Hello........Blood........near eye.......wasn't there before the possession began......check the tape

 

When do they release the last 2 minute reports? Would be interesting to see how the NBA covers this up

 

They reviewed after protest by home crowd and said (laughably) that Dort did wind up, but didn’t follow thru. Here, Crowder definitely didn’t follow thru, because Jalen’s face was in the way.

 

I think they only do those for close games (5points or fewer).

 

Aha the plot thickens. No wonder they keep calling against us when we get too close
