NBA has a major ref problem they need to address immediately before it gets out of hand

[charknicks]

Everyone and their momma knew the Knicks would get the benefit of the doubt in this game.
-The Pistons have the worst record in league
-Knicks are good this year and need more wins to keep Top 4 in East
-This game was suppose to be in Detroit in the 1st place and got moved to MSG, cause the Knicks would have had only 40 home games due to the in-season tournament. So the NBA changed this game from at Detroit to at MSG. With this change, all 3 games between the Knicks and Pistons this year were in New York. None in Detroit.

Detroit never had a chance, and Im a Knicks fan.

Had social media been what it is today in 2002/2006, then the “outrage” would’ve been everywhere. Cmon nephew

That’s how time works. The farther you get away from events, less people talk about them. What are we doing here sir?

Maybe you lack understanding.

People and the media acted like the 2006 NBA Finals was normal at the time. We didn't need social media to gauge the reaction in real-time.

People should just shut the fukk up.

Where was this outrage doing the 2002 Western Conference Finals or 2006 NBA Finals?

Maybe, this wouldn't be a problem today. If People would've said something back then.

Now, idiots want to bytch when it's too late

Are people finally realizing that the NBA has been the worst officiated Pro Sports league for multiple decades now?

Let tell the truth. These garbage NBA refs has made legends out of many players that you all Stan and dikkride.

nikka it's 2024 move along

Maybe you don’t understand how the internet works. You can look it up nephew. It was being reported on. But since social media wasn’t what it was, it didn’t spread like wildfire, like things do today.

I was watching this shyt the other night





Can't forget this classic either...

Divecenzo touched the basketball before he made any contact so it shouldn’t have been a foul. They shouldn’t have called that last foul on Duren though

Someone's been watching too much futbol. You can't take a mans legs out after touching the ball in basketball like you can in soccer

 

[Blackrogue]

With the refs I just need them to call a fair game. No superstar calls or calls that favor certain teams. I love shai as a player and he's my favorite pg right now. But every time that dude drove it was touch foul after touch foul. On time he didn't even get touched and they blew the whistle anticipating a foul. Like he doesn't need the refs help.

From a competitive standpoint just call a fair game or take it out their hands because with betting taking a huge place, leaving it in these dudes hands is a recipe for disaster.

With the rise in sports betting these nba refs especially the newer ones are definitely betting on games.. The old heads are smart enough to know how to control the pace and flow of the game to get the outcome they want which isn’t obvious.. But these new refs are making calls where if these were another country they would have gotten dealt with after the game

I love how people come in and make these declarations like the nba isn’t a billion dollar corporation that had a ref cheating scandal in the past 20 years and is definitely not monitoring these guys

The nfl quite literally monitors every player and you think the nba isnt watching their refs? Come the fukk on

Not everything is a conspiracy theory folks. Christ

 

[Cladyclad]

These dudes makes thousands of calls

guess what they gonna fukk up

that goes for every sport

y’all Let the media control dictate how to feel
