I love how players and coaches are a lot more vocal this year in terms of calling out refs. It's been down hill for years now. Maybe some day with all this calling out the refs, we'll finally see superstar calls and certain teams getting the better whistle go away :D

It seems like every year there are new refs that i don't recognize. I don't know if the league just ran into an older ref base and are now paying the price, but it's coming to a boiling point.

Just call it the way it is. It never should of mattered if you were a rookie/the name on the back of your jersey/the name on the front of your jersey.

The trend is accelerating and subjective factors could contribute even further.

The last 3 mins of this Cavs/Mavs game was wild.

Hornets have 39 points half way through the 3rd, down 40 vs the Bucks.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Miles Bridges is a -49 in +/- right now with a minute left in the 3rd, I’ve never seen anything like that.

The drop off from mikal bridges amd cam johnson vs.last year is pretty stunning. These guys are both 27 i actually thought marks did a good job with the roster purge but that franchise is really in bad shape right now. Mokal doesnt look like hell develop into the star he flashed he could be

That Pistons player had the ball, and got straight up body checked right in front of the official. What did he think he was looking at?

Is Houston still happy with him? He has some horrendous games at times when they are fighting for the play-in spot

I think so. Their main goal should be (and I think is) the development of Sengun, and he has been amazing. He couldn't help Green but I don't think anyone can. Where it gets dicey for him is if they pick up that 3rd year team option. All signs point to them not doing so. It will be interesting to see how he plays next season with that looming over his head.

It was pretty obvious when the Miami situation was no longer going to happen, he probably didn't want to be traded anymore (at least that's the sense I got while this was happening). But, by then they were too far gone and Portland had what they needed to make the change they wanted to make all along.

He's probably miserable, and if you read the article, that's the vibe you get. So glad we were careful to not offer significant player personnel for him. :lol:
