Other Sports Want (more) proof that the NBA officiating is the worst in all of Pro Sports?

Tango&Cash · 02-17-2010, 06:24 AM

Good lord, I've had trouble going back to bed. I was on Youtube just watching all of these horrible NBA no-calls whether its fouls, traveling, and one where the ref argues with Allen Iverson then T's him up for....wait for it....."bringing the crowd down." I dont even know what the hell that ****ing means. LOL.

1. Iverson T'd up for "Brining the crowd down. Then Larry Brown (then with 76's) gets T'd up for nothing right afterwards.

2. Worst foul call ever. Didn't know you could shoot free throws for "getting fouled" by your own teammate?!?!

3. This is about 10-15 sec of FAIL, with an awesome "kicking" call at the end.

4. Double dribble no call.

5a. Last I'll put in a couple Duke college games where they travel and refs don't ever call it.

5b.

Remember this? Coach K passes out. Looks like he wants a nap if anything. God I hate Duke.

Good stuff, Mr. Tango & Mr. Cash. Not anything particularly out of the ordinary, though. Except maybe for Coach K kissing wood in public.

The NBA is, by far, the most poorly officiated professional sport of all times although, of late, the NFL is giving them a run for their money. After watching the Olympics, I've decided that the NBA needs to consider hiring some of those Curling officials. Those dudes know how to just let the guys play the game. It's almost as though they aren't even there.

Calling a game exactly how you're instructed to by the league is good officiating.

Suppose the first ref got any kind of punishment after the audio came out?

Isn't that Dick Bevetta? They TV announcers are always praising that guy as one of "the best". That, obviously, wasn't his best performance.

Looks like Bennett Salvatore who has a reputation of making poor calls in the playoffs. IIRC he was at the center of the Miami - Dallas finals a few years ago.

Yup those refs did whatever they could to make sure the Mavs didn' get a ring. It was their ultimate **** you to Mark Cuban.

Basket ball sucks, who cares?

Oh yeah, you're right.

I blame David Stern. He's let these assholes get away with it for years.

In #2, that ref should have been fired immediately after that game.

**Lzen** · 02-17-2010, 08:58 AM

On vid #3, the only thing I see wrong is the kick call. The first guy flopped (good non-call) and I didn't see any real foul on the scramble for the loose ball.

**Lzen** · 02-17-2010, 09:01 AM

On #4 it was hard to tell if he just didn't get a good grip when he tried to catch the pass. If that was the case, it was not double dribble.

**Lzen** · 02-17-2010, 09:03 AM

The last 2 of Duke traveling are obvious. How can a ref possibly miss something so obvious?
