Another blatant foul by a Sixers player goes uncalled, but Embiid and Simmons get every call on contact on the other end. More reffing incompetence.
Why do you waste your time watching if it’s 8 against 5 “as usual” lol
You realize you can't "quote" something if I literally didn't say that, right? lol
Never said it's always 8 against 5 - at all. Is NBA officiating of overall poor quality and very inconsistent virtually every game? Absolutely that's something I would say. But I never said it's always "8 against 5", because it's not. Just because the refs are usually incompetent doesn't mean that they're always incompetent just against us.
But you'd have to be blind to say that Philly didn't get a much more favorable and lopsided whistle last game.
The game is too fast for a good chunk of the players and they can’t follow all the action. How easy do you think it is for 3 45+ year old guys to follow and see absolutely everything the way it was? Basically impossible ... they have the replay booth but still. I wouldn’t call it incompetence on their side
Eh, I think you can certainly blame them for their inconsistency. When you can't even stay consistent with your criteria for calls in the game, then that's on you.
That said, I do think most of the blame is on the league and how they are directing the officials to call the game to prioritize the offensive player. The refs are just way too involved in the game, and at that level of involvement there's bound to be inconsistency. I think they need to let teams/players play more and stop micromanaging the game.
