If there is a bump or bodycheck going to the hole, they don't wait to see if the ball is going in, they blow the whistle. If a coach steps over the line, they don't console him and put there arm around him to calm him down. They whack him, cause its the only thing they can and will respect, and they move on.
This is BS, #1 they do let traveling go, it's that simple, all you got to do is watch the DWade game. It happens. If you are praised for being the best, being in the right place at the right time to make the proper call, then you're going to take a lot more when you just plain miss it. These guys should not get a pass for screwing up because they are paid very well. In fact, that's one reason why we should chew they a$$. They also happen to think that they are better than me and you because they're in the NBA, yet to me, I see the same mistakes that I see at the lower levels. Joey took me all the way back to AAU when I used to slam the parents and coaches. Damn, I know that felt good.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not mad at the NBA ref's or at Joey. In fact, Joey confirmed to me that's he's human, and the best part, the part that I like the most about the NBA. They suspended him indefinitely! Nice!!!!! Now that's the right call! Now if we can get the ref's to do the same on the floor, we got something. With all that being said. Buckle down guys, the best bb is about to start. 40 nights in a row, the NBA playoff's. The first and 2nd rounds of the NBA playoff's is the best. I'll definitely tune in for that, and then after that, the world championships. I can't wait.....

Yup, all those NBA guys sit around after a game saying to each other "We're better than Old School and Jurassic Referee because we're in the NBA."

Another tie for the dumbest post ever made on this forum.

596 ties to date.......

No, they're in the NBA because they're better than you. Although, quite obviously, that wouldn't by itself be enough to get them there.

I used to live in North Pole. True story. If you've never experienced 40 below zero - with no wind chill - it is hard to understand. I went from living in North Pole directly to Glendale AZ! Alaska is why I wouldn't cry if I never saw another snow flake in my life.

I grew up in Southcentral Alaska...didn't and don't mind the snow or the cold, but the months of darkness really drove me nuts!
