Cuban has a point. One of the biggest things refs have been pushing is improved accuracy of whistle blowing and the ability to fix errors with instant replay.
They put restrictions on the replay timeout to check something aNd still can't get shit right when they have the time and a team of experts to refer to.
Its a complete shit show.

Yeah the system isn't perfect for sure. They need to enact a few more options. Thing is the technology is there to get this right. Seems they are in that awkward growing stage when things are coming into place but still clumsy as hell.

I would too. Someone with money they can afford to loose needs to speak up and say what everyone outside of the NBA says. It's a great start to fixing/improving the whistle, but some of the initial rules don't make sense and it needs to be adjusted every off season until its fixed. What happened to Dame and what happened to Dallas shouldn't happen in today's world of technology.

Man, Dallas is really putting them in a pickle, justifiably. Lol. They HAVE to fine Cuban in order to maintain consistency, but fine him for speaking out and then filing a grievance like this, is just such a double standard of hypocrisy of epic proportions, it will compound the nba being thought of as a complete joke when it comes to consistent foul calling and whistle blowing.

Nice. Blazers should have filed one too
 
Why can't refs just be honest?

i think it isnt as much being honest as it is a stubbornness to not look wrong. I think there is very little intentional whistle blowing/ foul calling where the ref thinks he isnt right but still does it.
These refs obviously made a big judgmental mistake. Their bigger mistKe was not taking as long as it took to make sure they got the call correct.
They didn't use the tools they have to their optimum abilities in order to ensure a fair and accurate call. Much the same as the Dame situation. refs are under more scrutiny Than ever with the ability to prove them wrong now.

I think its ego more than honesty that drives them to stand by an incorrect call.
 
The officiating has been consistently terrible this year. I don't remember them being THIS bad on a nightly basis.The Celtics-Lakers marquis matchup in the afternoon yesterday was a shitshow. Ruined a good game.

Nothing will come of this Cuban stuff, but it sheds even more of a glaring spotlight on something that needs to be addressed.
