I feared for Davis' ACL on that collision just now

Here's your 12th complaint--awful charge call right now.
 
I hate that no level of basketball consistently calls the block/charge call.
 
That awful call was a 5 point swing with Steph's made 3. Speights wasn't squared to the guy who hit him, and flopped. Terrible, terrible call. 
 
For the love of God, one level of basketball needs find a way to call that goddamn foul the correct way nearly every time.

Steve Kerr is a ticking time bomb. He's going to blow up and get ejected real soon here.

This is one of the worst officiated games I've ever witnessed

 

[BwareDWare94]

Stop. Falling. For. GSW's. Flopping.

Which makes no sense, because they want as many games as possible, wouldn't you think?

Started at 20 on bovada. Pelican w gets me to 47. Slow grind!!!

But that over the back call on Speights was fine right

 

[BwareDWare94]

Over the back doesn't exist. It's a push foul.

Over the back doesn't exist. It's a push foul.

 
It does exist, it's just ruled as a push.

A ref discussion has broken out 

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I actually have reffed basketball in the past
 
Good thing Bware didn't watch those games

 

[elcheato]

I'm pretty sure half of the Pelicans team has blocked Speights at this point 

 

[BwareDWare94]

 
It does exist, it's just ruled as a push. 

 
"Over the back" is incorrect terminology, though, and people scream it at games at every level. It's uninformed and oddly hilarious. Refs love to laugh it off when people yell it in the stands.

There's a shortage of officials where I'm at. I might actually do it as a winter job.

Happy I called this NOLA W tonight. I thought they'd get at least 1 out of games 3 and 4
