Hmm. OK, I know how you prefer college basketball to pro basketball, but honestly, it's really hard to grasp how you could reach the opinion that NBA refs are worse than college refs. I mean, there's just not much room for that view Scott, college officiating is (though not always) rife with awful and often clearly biased officiating. How many ridiculous games of Hightower et al have you watched? How can you ignore the incredibly poor officiating of college ball? Pro refs generally get it right Scott, they really do. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen someone spend so much time watching and talking about something they allegedly can't stand as you do with the NBA. If it's so bad then just stop watching it and talking about it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, college officials are the worst and its not even close. I can understand some people not liking some of the rules (gather step, continuation, etc) in the NBA but the officials do as good of a job calling games as you can. I wish they called some notorious floppers better, but generally NBA refs do a good job. College refs are just flat awful. They couldn't call a proper charge/block if the players were in slow motion, they literally hunt ticky-tack fouls on the perimeter while letting guys get clobbered in the paint, and I'm going to scream if I see one more needless travel called. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care, I can't see how anyone can like the NBA brand of basketball. It was OK back in the 70s. The players were so much better then. The officiating is the worst IN ALL SPORTS.

BGleas Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 Good win for the Celtics tonight over Washington, while missing Kemba, Tristan Thompson, Robert Williams and Grant Williams. Tatum with 32 and Brown with 27. Those two are playing at such a high level. Real reason for the post is I feel so bad for Langford. He would be getting so much good playing time right now, but instead is basically going to be another lost season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoB2011 Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 Chef Curry cooked tonight. It's obviously early, but pretty impressive to see the Dubs playing this way without Klay. If they can manage to win about 45 game Steph may mess around and win another MVP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
