Mobley had some things to say about the refs in SA

"Stupid" and "r****ded".

Hmmmmm.

Hope Cat has his check book handy.

 

One of a few times that I like Cat's big mouth. F%$%%^ those refs.

 

i agree with cat, the refs did have brain damage last night. now whether or not this will help us, i dont know, but im still glad he called them out.

 

Mobley should apologize.

There is no excuse for insulting the mentally challenged by comparing them to NBA officials. No excuse.

 

I have to give Cat some respect on that stunt. Took balls to call them out like that, especially since he's not exactly making the kind of dough an Iverson or a Shaq is to be getting fined by the league.

 

How about this.

Ginobli made you his b**** cat...now stop whining and take a look in the mirror and figure out exactly how he USED you and don't let it happen again.

Spurs are just smarter than the Rockets, as a team.

DD

 

I don't know......I kinda enjoyed reading that. Certainly he's allowed to vent his frustration, and using the word "r****ded" is pretty juvenile, but still funny.

The refs do make "r****ded" calls. There were several in the Spurs game. Floppers? Sure. Lots of players do it, and it is frustrating to watch. I know how frustrating it can be on the court too.

Sometimes you just gotta let it out. Talk on Mobley! Pay your fine, but at least someone heard you.

 

Not a smart thing to say. It was probably well worth the fine. But directing personal insults at refs isn't a good idea. He'd have been fine if he said the refs weren't on their game or something like that. But, he calls them stupid, r****ded, and incompetent. You don't think the refs are going to remember that the next time they call one of the Rockets' games? That's terrible diplomacy. He's just ensured that his next game reffed by these guys will be as bad as this one.

 

good for him. finally someone said something. i wishe it was jvg though.

 

First off, the Rockets lost the game because they didn't get Yao the ball not because of the officiating which agreeably, was partial. If Shaq got suspended for a game for his comments, I don't see how Cuttino won't get suspended. Those were pretty strong words.

 

He probably shouldn't have used "r****ded," but I agree with everything he said. I said it in the game post and I'll say it again, the refs sucked this game and even though the Spurs played better, the refs didn't officiate a fair game.

I unfortunately have the pleasure of seeing Refs throw games everynight on my NBALP. The refs are falling for flops, anticipate fouls (therefore, most of them are bad calls), and some guys just can't get any respect (no names, Yao Ming, Steve Francis).

I literally can count 5 horrendous calls the refs made or missed lastnight just from the top of my head.

 

Shag got suspended b/c he threw F-bombs twice on TV. Oh, btw, what happened to the First Amendment?

 

Sure, it wasn't the smartest thing to say, but it was true. That was a horrifically called game on both sides, but far worse in favor of the Spurs. It's not like Bowen doesn't have a reputation, either.

 

Well, both Vince Carter and Ray Allen singled out Bowen and called him a dirty player. I guess that you can even add Kobe's name on the list.

The officiating was absolutely horrible last night. Even Steve Kerr mentioned that the Mobley charge in the 4th quarter should be an easy blocking foul call.

SF3 was fouled badly at the end of 2rd Q, but no foul called.

Duncan pushed Yao to the floor in the 2rd quarter, no offensive foul called on TD.

Mo barely touched the ball when he was guarding TD and was called for fouls on two occasions.

Yet when Yao was hacked down low constantly by defenders, rarely did the refs blew the whistle.

 

It's a bad idea for a player to mouth off like Cat just did. Shouldn't the front office do this kind of dirty work?

 

What does the First Amendment have to do with it?

 

Why are they going to find Mobley? Doesnt the NBA believe in Freedom of Speech?

 

Referees are like elephants. They have long memories. Anyone remember Clyde Drexler's ejection from the playoff game by that Hollins guy? Some refs keep a grudge. However, the league is different now in that refs will get canned if they don't do their jobs. The Rockets can actually produce a videotape of the game and send it to the league office to show them that their complaints are valid. Stu Jackson seems to be pretty impartial.
