2020-21 NBA *Playoffs* Thread: Bucks are the champs and you can take that to the bank bromigos (1 Viewer)

That felt like a 12 round heavyweight fight.  The Giannis recovery block very late felt like the play to change the tide.  Fantastic closeout by Middleton.  Major props to Booker for putting in some big-time work tonight.

Booker was so good for so much of this game regardless of the foul/no foul call.  Impressive bounce back from that young man.

Kinda??????   

That was some of the worst officiating I have ever seen.  In any sport.  Ever.  My god.

In several years of posting in capella's nba threads, i've never whined about officiating. it's a general rule for me cuz the whiners can be so sadly wrong and annoying. but you're right, man. that was awful. impossible to say who it favored, so at least there's that.

Most exhausted I've felt from bad refereeing since the last Hornets-Suns game this year. Just a complete, illogical mess.

 
2 losses…no New Glarus beer.  2 wins after I bring back some Spotted Cow and Totally Naked from Wisconsin…and some squeaky cheese curds and a cooler full of meat from the Meat Block in Greenville.

 
Not a soul whining on twitter, nor in this thread could have done a better job officiating this game.  I watched about 20% of the game, but I know that for a fact.  Calling basketball is one of the hardest things I've ever tried to do and I only do HS.  You have to be an expert at the rules, be in great shape, be able to know when players are faking and when they aren't, be more patient and level headed than everyone else in the arena (including players and coaches) and deal with being criticized by tons of people who could never do your job.

And it is not new.  NBA officiating has been this bad since the 80's (and maybe before).

My sarcasm detector is in the shop but this is sarcasm, amiright?

 
SEVENTEEN offensive rebounds for the Bucks.

That’s why they managed to win despite Booker committing seventeen fouls.

No. He's dead serious and also having officiated HS for almost a decade, I agree with every word of it. No one here or on Twitter could have done better (assuming no very experienced high level officials are tweeting this mess). That is a fact. BUT @Jayrod, only seeing 20% of this one doesn't qualify for you to say much more. Explaining just how incredibly difficult officiating is doesn't defend what we who saw the whole mess observed. There are 100s of officials, NBA, international, NCAA, who could have done better than this crew. It was that bad.

Backinaday, NBA refs were required to go their hotel rooms and re-watch the game they just did. Not sure if this is still a thing, but this whole crew owes the fans of both teams an apology. Hopefully they see the absurd calls they made and didn't make. If I was nba commish, I would review carefully and if empowered to do so, suspend a couple of these guys. The 80% you didn't see was that bad. I say that agreeing with every word you posted.

Yeah, that's the thing - it wasn't really a contributing factor in the outcome other than the Bucks probably should have won by more or had an easier victory.  And I'm not like mad or anything; just astonished at how magnificently horrible the refs were in the 2nd half.  

Do the same refs do all the games?

No. The NBA tapped 10 refs for the finals and two alternates. So they have 7-9 choices going forward. I don't know if it was all 3 tonight, and I sure don't want to watch again to find out, but seems reasonable to leave these three at home the rest of the way,
