2015 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Hurricane Season]

Officiating is pretty terrible across all sports right now.

 

[elcheato]

It's exactly the same. The difference is the players are more athletic in sports (meaning harder to officiate) and we have more camera angles. 
 
If you don't like it you can git out

You are wrong, and nothing you say will change my tune.

the all time worst officiating is in the wwe

 

[buzzy]

WWE officials should be more strict and hand out technicals.

Or you could just not complain about it, because there is no agenda to screw the Pelicans. There are three officials for a game involving 10 players that moves at a lightning, non-stop pace. Mistakes happen, and it adversely effects every team at some point. No use getting stressed about it. 
 
Although it is a popular excuse for people instead of throwing blame on their own players and coaches. It's a way to justify a loss without admitting the other team is better/played better. 

 
Adding a 4th official would either help or be disastrous due to too many moving parts around 10 players already. Two on the key, two on each side of the basket on the baseline, but obviously not too far into the corners. They'd probably shift as the ball moves, whereas the two beyond the key could stay in corners. The NBA could easily afford this, and I wonder if they've ever considered it, or if it'd even help. It'd also make their rotations less confusing than it is with three of them.
 
Y'all remember when high school games had only 2 officials? Yikes.

Adding more officials just seems dumb. Yes, there are missed calls, and as structured it's simply unavoidable, but if you add referees and get even more tic-tac calls, the game is going to slow down, and part of the appeal of the NBA is the free-flowing nature and quick pace. More officials would put that to test.

Steph Curry broke the NBA. They need to nerf him 

 

[Pugz]

[RipCity32]

marques daniels actually had a flow that sells, so does stephen jackson.

but that kobe track>>>

Last few were solid actually. Minus Iman lol

 

[RipCity32]

I'm just kinda hoping the Warriors lose so we can stop hearing about the Warriors lol.
They are great and all, and I like them all minus Draymond Green, but I've heard enough about them. We get it, they are historically good lol.

 

[elcheato]

The Steph Curry of the East will put him to rest 
 
 
 
 
*I'm aware Kyrie is not as good as Steph Curry but fuck you

When he was drafted wearing his hat on top of his afro, I said to myself, this guy is going to help a team threaten the greatest team in NBA history.
