Game 51: Phoenix Suns (28-22) @ Portland Trail Blazers (33-16)

What pisses me off the most is that these problems are so fixable.

If some punk kid from California can see what the problems are, why millionaire coaches, players, and management can't seem to figure it out is beyond me.

If they're not doing things to fix the issues, and this involves both roster management and game-to-game management (i.e. things that can be done without roster upheaval) then it's really tough to find reasons to watch a team that plays such a detestable fashion of basketball.

Agreed 100%.

Chris Paul saying the girl ref should maybe get a different job. I hope he gets suspended. But most likely he'll get a bunch of calls his way.

He never bought gender into his comments.

The only thing that is made in reference to a female is the pronoun "she". If you flip, the "she" into a "he", it would just be Chris Paul ripping a rookie ref for a T he didn't think he deserved.

"I think we have to show better composure, but at the same time some of [the technical fouls] were ridiculous," Paul said. "The tech that I get right there was ridiculous. I don't care what nobody says, I don't care what he says; that's terrible. There's no way that can be a tech. We try to get the ball out fast every time down the court, and when we did that, he said, 'Uh-uh.' I said, 'Why, uh-uh?' And he gave me a tech.

"That's ridiculous. If that's the case, this might not be for him."

Should he get penalised for criticising refs? According to league rules, yeah but let's make this a sexist issue when it isn't.

It was terrible game but saying that this team sucks? How can a team be 28-23 in the west and sucks?
I once watched Warriors-Clippers game because I wanted to see this great Warriors team. And they get f...ed by the Clippers. So Warriors sucks because they had one very bad game?

This must be the first game you watched if you think this is the only very bad game they've had.

And to compare the Suns to a great team like the Warriors is extremely disrespectful. Suns aren't even in the same league as them or close to it.

If the Suns didn't go on to get embarrassed after making this tweet, it would have been a great burn

I wasn't saying he made it a gender thing, I just said the girl ref, because I didn't know her name off hand, and it narrowed it down, because there aren't many girl refs. But to be fair, there were five techs called on them that night, and only two were from her. Strange he didn't say anything about the other three called. He singled "her" out.
