I am aware that NBA officiating has been a story (or more accurately, several stories) for some time.
That said, aside from all of the other stories, I just see … more lopsided officiating that goes against us. The “open season on Jaylen Brown” in Charlotte was utterly bizarre.
I am usually against whining about officials; I am a former college ref and think that NBA refs are very talented, and the only ‘bias’ they have is simply ratings. So, I don’t like the whole paranoia thing … but it’s beginning to make me wonder. What I see:
-
avg FT’s/game for “the Jays” among lowest in league for the number of drives to the hoop
-
KP leading league in techs (I find this ridiculous, as a former ref I can spot an asshole player a mile away and he’s not)
-
A couple of inexplicable reviews and/or judgement fouls (e.g., take fouls)
How did we get here? What has to happen going forward? Am I wrong?
I feel like this is beginning to impact games (like forcing us to play our top 6 too much to make up for lopsided officiating, which could lead to fatigue or worse, injuries).
Easily one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever read on this sub. Absolutely absurd why you would think this is a detail worth mentioning.
