I can't believe the refs called Quickley for a flagrant on a normal offensive drive.

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in awhile! The vanilla Mark Blount, if you will.

It is also silly. Reaves is averaging basically 15/4.5/6 with a 60.6TS%.  He is a bad defender, but he is perfectly fine as a 3rd offensive option with solid all around skills.

I'm glad to see more people coming out against the refs lately. Toronto's coach did it last night.

Seriously, what a joke this product and refereeing has become.

Not that anyone needs to have a solution ready when they point out a problem, but do you have any ideas on how the refereeing might be improved across the league?

My number one thing would be to have officiating crews that work together for an entire season, instead of rotating through each other.  On the closest plays, communication between officials about what they each saw is important, and if you’re working together all season that communication will likely be better.

I would make sure that replays overturn the original call ONLY if there is clear evidence. I did not see clear evidence that Hield did not hit Brown's head.

The league has to get the Lakers into the playoffs. Too much lost revenue if they don't make it.

Good for the Raps coach. The refs gave the Lakers that game because of all the crying LeFraud does. I hate James. Cannot wait until he goes away forever.

Just watched Rajakovich's press conference.  That was awesome.  Good for him.

100 percent correct. They need the lakers in and the marching orders have been given.

It's a well-known fact Joey Crawford was pushed out of the league by Silver because the Lakers didn't make it to the playoffs for three consecutive seasons ('13-16). After Crawford's retirement, the Lakers continued to miss the postseason for three additional seasons, which caused the NBA to trigger the COVID-19 outbreak in their emerging Chinese market, which lead to the bubble season and LA's latest championship.

These are just facts.
