    Just incredible. I thought he was going to lose it out of bounds. Then half court off balance heave and swish.

    SMH Toronto fans. What else do you guys have to do?
  • Midstate01
    No way that ball hit the rim. I never saw an angle that showed it. Spin never changed.

    What would you propose as a better solution? It's impossible to ref a perfect game and you are going to miss calls. Refs have always tended to swallow their whistle at the end of games so that's the only change I would make; tell refs to blow the whistle in tight games instead of letting them play.

    There's a big difference in letting them play and blatantly missing an inbounder elbow a defender.

    Yeah but mistakes happen. What is your plan to make referee'ing in the NBA better?

    I guess its fun to bitch and complain but mistakes are going to happen. I think overall they do a good job in the NBA.

    It was either this thread or the cavs thread where Lowry was being ranked ahead of kyrie.

    I think they are garbage and they can start by getting rid of their old ass refs who can hardly move.

    They need to be held to higher standards. It seems like a lot of these guys get tenure and don't want to improve their officiating. They rather be right than get the right call.

    Would love to see that as it happened and then the ensuing 30 seconds.

    Oh so you want to get rid of the referee union? Good luck.

    Never said that as I know that is unrealistic. Something needs to be changed, because they are garbage at best. I'm not the expert to make those changes, but it's pretty clear they need to be made if you have watched the NBA playoffs the last 5 years.

    We don't need to have solutions to notice that the officiating sucks ass.

    Oh so you just want to bitch about it and expect the problem to be solved by simply clearing house of experienced refs and bringing in a bunch of rookies?

    I don't think its that bad overall. Yes the OKC Spurs ending was a disaster, but that is just an outlier. People tend to focus on the mistakes rather than when they normally do a good job.

    It would take longer than 30 secs for him to get back up!!!! :)

    Cost the Cavs a Championship last season. See the bogus BS non call on LBJ game 1.

    Anyone find it pretty obvious that sleeper doesn't watch the NBA? Sadly, that horrible end to the Spurs/OKC game is hardly an outlier.

    You didn't hear all of Toronto telling the world in January?

    Pretty much this. Sleeper is taking one of his hot take argument formulas (they all pretty much follow the same flow chart if you pay attention) and trying to apply it to people complaining about refs. When you prove him wrong he will circle back to his crutch by asking "what is your solution," because apparently we all are getting paid the big bucks to fix NBA officiating. Predictable sleeper is predictable.

    Yeah let's just bitch and meme about NBA refs!

    Continue your "refs are bad" circle jerk.

    Pointing out a problem without providing a solution is for poor people. It's not a crutch, its reality. The NBA certainly wants to protect the integrity of game but also is aware of the reality that no ref is going to coach a perfect game.

    Nobody is expecting a perfect game, but they can start with consistency. JR gets a flagrant for boxing out and inadvertently hitting Milsap in the face with his elbow. Meanwhile Drummond threw the people's elbow at Lebron's throat and got nothing.

    When players like Mike Scott, Dion waiters, Steve Blake, and many more garbage players are getting more FTs than Lebron there is a problem.
