Ugh...

Doc 's revenge

[alldaboston]

does Doc have an issue with that official?

Paul and the lady ref have a long history, and it's seemingly always something controversial when she refs them.

she does make a ton of questionable calls though. not the best ref in the NBA, and it has nothing to do with her gender.

Lol just saw the clip of Doc flipping out.  Man that was intense.

She's not a good ref. The best refs in the NBA are the ones you don't know there names. They call no attention to themselves...

It was a good call.  Paul did commit the foul.  She's the only female ref.  She's not going to blend in.

I thought there were two female refs, no?

I just noticed this loss and was p---ed until I realized the NBA just didn't make sense today.

Violet Palmer retired so I think Lauren Holtkamp is the only one now.

This might be my favorite quote on Celtics blog ever.  TP

Did you see JR Smith hugging Jason Terry in the middle of a play, allowing a Bucks score? lol

A mixed bag of results today concerning the Nets pick. Dallas blowing a lead in the 4th quarter against the Spurs, Washington losing to OKC in overtime and Minnesota losing by 2 against the Knicks. On the bright side Miami won in Denver and Phoenix held on to beat Atlanta by 2.

We're still in a good spot. Though this year there seems to be lot more uncertainty about the top picks. Last year's top 2 was easy, Simmons and Ingram, only after that did it get complicated. Right now it's all up in the air.

Obviously there's still a whole season of college ball for players to establish themselves but right now it looks like there could be a lot more pressure picking in the top 5 or so. Danny and co have their work cut out for them.

I'd phrase it as a lot more opportunity.  There will be lots of good young talent to evaluate.  The 1st upperclassman in the DraftExpress mock is at 26.

And a lot less pressure to get a top 2 pick. If the Nets end up with a bottom 4 or 5 record we'll probably get a good pick. Obviously the worse they are the better, but I'm not going to get as stressed this year over every Nets win.
