Anyone going to the game tonight?

[Mediocre Man]

Grab some stripes and see how hard it is.

Folks complaining about officials are almost NEVER people who've done it.

So right. Also, there is a big difference between egregious and missed.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

This argument is so bad.

So because I couldnt do the job of a ref at the highest level, I cant see what the do wrong? I cant criticize them for it?

Why even have a forum for an NBA team if our opinions arent credible if we havent played at the highest level?

Smh.

I think he's talking about reffing at any level rather than solely at the highest level.

BTW--You had your reffing debut recently, right? How'd that go? I never heard/read about it.

 

[HailBlazers]

Robots would have inaccuracies too.

If you were building them

 

[PtldPlatypus]

If you were building them

Be fair--he would only program them

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

It's very true, I have a bit of a reputation around here as the guy who gets a robot and breaks it, and gives it back. heh.

 

[dviss1]

Yea we need to replace officials at ALL levels asap with robots.

I'm picturing your face saying this, and you're not gonna get me to bite!

No. No one's saying that at all. There you go again trying to formulate my argument for me.

What I'm saying is, if you refereed ANY level (and frankly you should, we need more good ones) you'd simply have a different perspective.

Keep your head still.

Huh? I've never reffed haha. Had someone offer me an opportunity but he hasn't been in contact with me since.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

OK--that's what I was thinking of. You had mentioned that you were asked to ref at a pretty good wage, so I just assumed that it had happened already. My bad.

You certainly know the game. I think you'd be great at it. You're young enough to get to D-1 if you master it.

That's at least $1200 a game.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

To answer the original post in this thread, no I'm not going to the game tonight.

Nah, I don't think Bones is in good enough shape to be a ref.

 

[dviss1]

Nah, I don't think Bones is in good enough shape to be a ref.

Shiiiiit.... Bro yes he is.

Some of these muthafuckas need to be taken out back and shot.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Why dont you come out and hoop and find out in person?

That way I can also dunk on you like I dunked on him.

 

[BBert]

Didnt he reverse his bad call though? Or did another ref reverse his bad call? I wasnt paying attention, other than they got it right.

Foster overruled the baseline ref, who had made the easy correct call. Then the other ref came sprinting over and the two of them got him to reverse his reversal.

 

[tlongII]

I know. I was just kidding. Hoping to rile up Bones a little bit. I probably shouldn't do things like that, but I can't help it.

 

[Orion Bailey]

I wasn't sure. So he tried to screw us but the other ref was having none of it.

Got it. Fuck that guy. LOL

#1 : I'm 61 years old.
#2 : You can't dunk.
#3 : If you could dunk, I wouldn't let you dunk on me. (Believe me)

I laughed out loud that it only took him 2 possessions to validate our Scott Foster thread haha

#1... And? IM 45 School this kid!

#2... Yes I can, I dunked on @BonesJones !!!

You're only 45? I was about to reply to @tlongII that you guys were about the same age when he said he was 61.

JK buddy

Thats it. You are my next dunk Victim. Just ask Bones how it feels to be dunked on by the big OB!!!!

I'd offer to meet you anytime to try it but you'd probably quit and not show up.

You doubt me?

Ask bones how humiliating it was to have gramps dunk on him!!!

I heard that you quit halfway through the dunk attempt.

 

[Orion Bailey]

I heard that you quit halfway through the dunk attempt.

I did. And i still dunked on him. My follow through is impeccable. Im a beast.

From Foster's angle I could see him thinking it didn't touch Adams.

It barely grazed his fingertips.

He thought he had good information to share. It wasn't.

Stop acting like referees are perfect and should get it perfectly every time.

I only expect perfection because I judge them off the Dviss scale. Anything less than Dviss reffing and its sure to be suspect.
