How can you let such atrocious officiating slide by without consequences. Bobcats and Pacers are fighting for the 8th seed and when it comes down to the most crucial possession of the game you just let it slide and don't make the right call. Lets not forget the officiating of the entire game was terrible and what about the inadvertent whistle that led to 4 Pacer points. Go back and Watch tape of the Bobcats Celtics game on Monday and look at what they considered a foul on Paul Pierce at the end of the game. Then you have Blatant contact on Jackson tonight and they don't call anything. And you wonder why people think the NBA is rigged? Because night in and night out Refs make horrendous calls that change the out come of games. If you fine players for arguing with refs about calls and coaches who question officiating, then you should hold officials to the same standards. You have films of every game and can look and evaluate the integrity of the officials. You also have the ability in games to use instant replay. How about you actually put it to use. I will still support players and teams, but you lost a supporter of The NBA. Things like this that are overlooked in sports are just unacceptable.

What do you guys think?

I think the NBA is by far the worst officiating out of all the major sports, and has been for a while. You'd figure after that one ref got busted gambling (and leaking other parties) they would try to fix things, but no, they won't. The fact is, superstars and more popular teams get the calls, always, because those teams are the ones that make the money I guess.

I also think the refs are sticking it to our team because of Jax and his constant battle with them.

Does anyone have any ideas to make our statement heard without hurting the teams earnings or getting arrested.

I thought a fan boycott until the NBA issues a proper explanation of their obvious war on our franchise and some kind of discipline when it comes to these bogus outcomes, but that could hurt earnings and take away support for our team.

Jack is right and you guys should be on HIS side.

Anybody have any ideas?

I agree. Its true, he needs to temper his emotions and not hurt us by getting ejected or missing games, but this is what fuels that fire. This is why a Jax or a Sheed Wallace in the past used to get so heated at refs and totally lose their minds. LOL. See how we feel as fans? Imagine being a competitor in the heat of battle and having this happen.

I've been to many Bobcat games and this has been going on way before Jack. I can personally remember a home game with the Wizards that made me really start to look at the NBA like pro wrestling.

Our team is actually better than they look at times.

David Stern is gonna run the league into the ground. He already has in some ways.

All the new rules that he has endorsed over the last few years have have taken the physicality (no hand checking) and the emotion (new tech rules) out of the game. Also, the fact that he hasn't done something about the bad officiating is a complete joke. And to think these refs actually had the nerve to go on strike a couple years ago - wanting higher pay.

Stern better be glad that LeWhistle, Wade, Melo ect, came into the league when they did. Because had they not, the NBA would be in serious trouble.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Really?  Back to this again? How many times have I said that I’d prefer to trade back from #1? Too many to count, but as I’ve pointed out, that’s going to be much easier said than done, as once we signal we want to trade back, teams will know we don’t want any of the QBs and they’d target the 2nd pick in a trade instead. All of my “T-Mac at #1” talk has been discussed under two circumstances… the first being that no QB or DE pop before the draft, and that we can’t trade back. But again, I know you don’t like to actually read that stuff when I say it, as I’ve said it numerous times.

      Chase Daniels breaks down Bryce vs DEN

      By SCO96 · Posted

      Thanks for posting this. While this was far from a great performance, this critique shows what some of us noticed last week. Bryce played "a little better". There is some talent there. But, as you pointed out we really don't have a great pass blocking line for dropping back each down when we are behind. BY has got some bad habits and physical limitations. At times his teammates let him down. The play calling isn't always the best. I hope he can learn from last week and show us some improvement in the Saints game.

      Oh, and yes, I’d take a WR first in this upcoming draft, but again, that’s not in a vacuum I wouldn’t have taken him over the QBs this past year or likely the ones next year either. It’s all relative to who is available in a specific draft, and I don’t think any of the QB’s are worth the risk at #1 this year. Also the fact that you’ve said you would take T-Mac #2 but scoff at him going #1 is just in itself, super weird.  How you can justify a player at #2 but not #1 solely because of their position and with complete disregard to the other players available, is absolutely crazy town talk
