Are we really moaning about officiating again?
officials dont have it out for us. We just foul the other team more than they foul us. That simple.
No, it's really not that simple. I'm pretty sure we only did the "hack-a-Jordan" twice, meaning there was a legitimate 16-6 disparity in the fouls.
That's simply uncalled for, and in virtually every case in the NBA that is an unjustifiable spreading of the fouls, in one half no less.
And it's not like this is a rare thing; it's literally almost every game that the refs rack up a huge disparity in the first half and then have to compensate with a differing officiating standard in the second half.
I think weve gotten the shaft on some level tonight, but the idea that there exists an agenda or that it doesnt in large part even out is totally ridiculous.
Where were all the conspiracy theorists when we were on the lucky side of call after call against the Warriors?
How about when we were permitted to mug the Rockets the entire second half?
officials make mistakes. Sometimes you end up on the bad side sometimes the good. Moaning about them as if they have an agenda against us is such a poor excuse.
Nobody (at least not me) is saying that they have an agenda. I'm simply saying that they're incompetent, garbage refs, and I say this on pretty much every game I watch. There's just no objective standard of officiating anymore, and virtually every single ref struggles with consistency, both in individual games and between games. And the result is this type of major foul disparity that is based on pure incompetence and inconsistency.
EDIT: And a perfect example right there - Johnson CLEARLY goaltends on that Brown "jumpball," yet the ref somehow misses that right in front of him.
