The first and 2nd techs were complete bullshit. The 3rd was warranted. A player is not allowed to yell "Goddamnit" to a ref. Plain and simple.

I agree about the Jordan Tech for sure. You can't do that but I'm sure if the 1st two techs aren't called that never happens.
 
lol. I can't believe it's become a controversy with CP3. I'm as 'equal rights' and 'equity' as they come, but he didn't say anything that warrented any sexism.

He may be a douche canoe that rows with oars made of his tears from whining, but he's not that bad.

It's not about anything sexiest. You publicly call out the refs to the press and you get fined. Simple as that

The media and white knights nationwide love to promote false outrage.
 
Those techs were what I call, flop karma. I think the female ref was staking out her territory when these guys questioned her calls...good for her! Doc Rivers builds a complaining culture wherever he coaches. Chris Paul has gotten away with it for a long time.

I only wish that this sets a precedent for the refs and how they treat him in the future. The fact he is able to initiate contact for a foul without being called for an offensive foul is absurd!!!

It is simple as that. But people are making it bigger than that, when there's no need for that. That's what I'm talking about.
 
In credit to the refs, I think the games are called better this season than they have been for years. Scott Foster actually gave us some favorable calls last night...I was shocked! For some reason, Dame can't get a call in the paint but it's not just one ref. I always thought if refs were fined for blown calls, they'd really clean up the games.

They'd be broke.
 
I am down with refs giving T's for complaining. I'm sick of that shit. Players need to play and quit trying to metagame the god damned refs.

And refs need to quit not-calling the harden flops.
 
riverman said:
Or get suspended from games..if they had too many blown calls they couldn't ref the playoffs...so we'd havc D league refs the last half of the season

and that's a positive? haha.
 
I always wondered why more retired players didn't go into careers as refs. Brandon Roy could ref. Just an example. They know the game and it keeps them in the field post playing career. I don't think you'd get so many ticky tac calls.

Haywoode Workman is a former NBA player... he calls a ton of ticky-tack fouls, it seems.
 
Dude. Wiggins and Bennett look really good against Memphis.
 
Go Bucks! Down in the first half but they need to beat the Rockets tonight
 
Now see this is just a great play right here, okay? Watch as he passes the ball, and makes the shot.

I don't know who is worse Hubie or 'prime' Hand down, man down Mark Jackson...

Hubie can't shut up, Mark Jackson is trying to preach like Jessie Jackson only he doesn't have the oratory skills. A lot of these guys drive me nuts. Magic Johnson was horrible and as much as I loved him as a Blazer, Walton was one of my least favorite color guys. Every guy who dunked a ball was going to be a hall of famer to Bill...throw it down big guy! Then talk about the Grateful Dead or Dylan...makes me appreciate Marv Allen and Steve Kerr..my favorites

At least Jackson forms coherent sentences. Hubie Browns entertainment value would be very high if he weren't so obnoxious.

I'll take Jackson over Hubie any day.

And when you look at Boris Diaw and what he’s done to this franchise he’s changed everything. We celebrate his brilliance and when you talk to Boris Diaw you realize what a classical human being he is. It was 201 years ago today, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3 in E Flat, which escorted in the age of Romanticism in music. And when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of the Romantics. This guy has it all.

He was the starting PG on the 1993 Pacers team that went to ECF. Adding him midseason is what turned them around from a 16-23 start.
 
Bahahaha Anthony Davis beats OKC at the buzzer with a triple, ruining Westbrook's career high 48 point game and dropping the Thunder back to .500
