ya_boi_j 64,061 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 What if the reality is BS officiating is the norm when it comes to mega stars in the NBA which is a widely held view of regular NBA watchers?I'm pretty sure if you actually watch more games than the Hawks you would see how refs call games. You can make every excuse you want for your team losing but refs are not gonna call a perfect game for any team period. It's pretty simple Sui_Generis 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NCFalconfan 9,634 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Hawks can't throw it in the ocean, Cavs can't miss. The struggle is real in Atlanta when it comes to the playoffs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dawggone 1,579 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I think if u polled fans on which sport had the highest likelihood of being rigged itd be boxing and then basketball. thanat0s 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ATL_DirtyBirds 281 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 How many times do I have to say to attack the hole? Notice what happens when they attack the hole, the defense collapses and shots are wide open. Cabs are being more aggressive and we are just shooting crap up. This isn't Hawks basketball at all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ZoneOne01 1,871 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 If they keep playing like this, Atlanta is getting swept. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dawggone 1,579 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I think part of the problem with the officiating is that the rules have evolved to almost any contact period is a foul. There is obviously constant contact and if the refs called every foul itd be a.free throw contest. I say relax the rules, let em dang play, and the refs arent to be ticky tack Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ya_boi_j 64,061 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I think if u polled fans on which sport had the highest likelihood of being rigged itd be boxing and then basketball.those are the main 2 that have the best chance. Can't really throw a baseball game unless you want to ignorantly make a crystal clear bad call. Football refs definitely make horrible calls. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Homer the Brave Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 What we have seen since the all star break and including the playoffs, is that this is NOT as talented a team as we think they are. The start of the season, and January in particular, were the exception rather than the rule. I mean, who were Korver, Teague, Carroll, Millsap, and Horford before they started playing for Bud? Average players, nothing special. The fact they have gotten this far is a testament to Bud. What we are seeing now is the real talent we have, because the playoffs expose you for what you really are. But I will say this. This team has a lot of heart and battle in them. They play hard and we should appreciate that. ZoneOne01 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ya_boi_j 64,061 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 The stars get all the calls. Every call is made on a reputation scale.not completely true. There are several moments every season where stars don't get calls. If that were true, LeBron, durant, Duncan, Melo, etc...Wouldn't be crying to the refs looking for fouls every night. even curry was fouled on a 3 the other night that wasn't called Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sdogg 9,789 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 can we please defend the 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ATL_DirtyBirds 281 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Please stop sending Korver cross court to act like a rim protector leaving a shooter wide open on the skip pass. It's not like Korver is going to stop lebron if he gets by demarre. Terrible defensive idea Dirtybird#11 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dirtybird#11 1,829 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Alright Bud tell them to stop with this help defense BS.... Make them play true blue man to man. And get Korver off the court. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DonOfThemBirds 17,263 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Shaq use to hit them when they matteredYep, Shaq was a pretty bad free throw shooter, but he wasn't shockingly awful like it's legend has grown to be.I also hated his shooting form when he shot free throws. Shawn Marion's annoys the heII out of me even more for some reason, but his works for him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What we need is a guy like Durant to make them elite. The superstar role is real in the NBA playoffs. It affects everything, especially the officiating. The league only wants marketable star players to win it's championships. ZoneOne01 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
