    endless reviews + media timeouts + calling ticky tack fouls and blowing the whistle on every other possession = shitty basketball

    They have to get rid of the flagrant foul for getting hit above the shoulders. Catching an elbow occasionally is basketball. Reviewing plays like that kills the flow of the game.

    There are way too many fouls called, that is for sure. Any time a guy goes up in the lane, it's a foul. That last foul on Randle last night was the perfect example of how refs refuse to let teams play D in the lane. However, it is a tough job. Some refs are way better than others.

    Best ref in the game: John Higgins
    Worst ref: Paul Janssen

    I know for a fact that everyone else falls somewhere between these two.

    I'm a ball player.

    This is hatin shit.

    Bet the team that mathematically matches up.

    Let's be real about this.

    Too many fouls called? Simple solution. Stop fukkin hackin.

    This is how I know you fuckboys have never PLAYED sports.

    Bro. Just sit back and hope the cheerleaders get drunk enough is your best bet.

    Think if we didn't have replay... and we went with an officials LIVE call... they'd get it wrong also. Or even... an official like Tim Donaghy.. clearly you see what happened... but you intentionally point the other direction and give the ball to the other team... for various unexplained reasons.

    Don't mind reviews for who it went off, we would all be furious if they didn't get it right and it changed the game.

    Agreed here, defender put their face up on the offensive player and be rewarded for a basketball move. Now it's a blatant elbow but inadvertent shouldn't be rewarded. It's a tough job though, so fast and so much pressure to make a split second decision that takes fans a replay to know for sure.

    Im with you Dane, they seem to be calling a game a certain way with a certain tempo the whole game and then it changes in the last 3-4 mins of the game?? so bizzare

    You always have to play the refs interpretation as much as the opposition, but some of the laws of various team sports make it very difficult to referee impartially, and that gets exposed with tv replays. There isnt an easy solution - perhaps simplify the laws so that only "blatant" offences are called. Make it more a free for all so the "strongest" team wins.
