Don't even try...a lot of people here don't like the NBA game (as is their right) as they feel it's all "entertainment" to them. Some on here even go so far as to call it the WWE (by calling it NBE).

I've always thought of the NBE as the NB A-E.... a combination of the A and the E. If it was fully like the E in WWE, then Donaghy was right! 😀

At least he got in his "two cents worth." 😉

PS - I have Tix to the Hawks and Wizards tonight in the ole "phone booth" in DC - lower section. They're practically giving the Tix away......for obvious reasons. 🙄

On a side note, World Wrestling Entertainment will no longer be known World Wrestling Entertainment, and will no longer use the acronym WWE. It will simply be known as WWE from now on, with the letters WWE not standing for anything in particular.

Didn't Kentucky Fried Chicken do this several years ago?

I didn't believe it back then. I thought it was an April Fool's Day Joke.

Did you hear about the FIBA official, from Norway, who is only three feet, four inches (1.016 meters) tall? His name is Loof Lirpa.

Is he an Oompa Loompa?

If so, let the record show that I've been a proud member of PETOL for many, many years. I joined to support both Chuck Elias and RockyRoad from further exploitation.

No, but he did everything backwards.

But I watched parts of two games this past week and saw a carry called in one and traveling called twice in the other! Something weird is going on. :eek:

- Six travels were called in the game. SIX! Two in the first five minutes. Remarkable. Andre Blatche's was the best as they showed his "fancy footwork" on the jumbotron screen. He got the ball on the perimeter and established his rt foot as the pivot......and then moved it twice. TWEET!
- There was actually a three second call late in the third quarter. The lady next to me called it before the ref actually blew the whistle! Funny.
- Actually had a jump ball with 1.13 left in the game.
- Whack! Flip Saunders got T'd protesting a non-foul call in the first quarter.
- I don't know what a charge or block is in the NBA.
- For one night the Wizards actually had a good game. They shot 54% in the first half and won by 32!
- John Wall can play!

I had a good time.

interesting post..."somewhat" similar to high school games I see:

- There were six traveling calls that the officials got wrong. SIX! Remarkable. Too bad they can't show A1's "legal footwork" on a jumbotron. He caught the ball, established his left foot as his pivot foot...jab stepped to the right, then used his right foot to cross over to his left to beat his defender...TWEET!
- Despite a single player not knowing how to post up, there were several 3 second calls made. Each time, the opposing coach was yelling "3 seconds! 3 seconds! 3 seconds!" before the official blew the whistle! Funny.
- Tons of jump balls were called. Every time a defender put his hand on the ball, an official called a jump ball. Players were surprised each time because they simply played through it to continue their shot or pass.
- Several T's in the game for comments like: "that's not a foul!"; "if you saw it why won't you call it?"; and "just be consistent!".
- High school officials don't know what a charge is. 98% of the block/charge plays are called a block.
- For one night, HS kids actually had a good game. Each team shot higher than 31% and had fewer than 20 turnovers.

I had a good time.

This is a pretty broad statement, isn't it? So, should it be more like 50/50, or what?

I won't go that high.

But, I would agree, from my location on the court and in the stands, and from my angle, I believe we call too many blocks too.

Great question in Norman Chad's column in the Washington Post today. It went something like...

"If Lebron James were involved in a single car accident, would Dick Bavetta whistle the tree for a blocking foul?"

😀

Nice! 😛

I really didn't understand it, but I recently heard on the radio that, somehow, Lebron James, the Boston Red Sox, and the Liverpool Football Club, are sleeping together. I don't believe it either, but it's true, it's true. Kind of reminds me about a priest, a minister, and a rabbi that walk into a bar.

The world's best basketball players play in my video game system and the world's best basketball officials work in my driveway.
