One sucks and the other one sucks

And inside those two Tony Brothers are four individual Chris Finch’s fighting in endless war

I don’t know if I can take four guys but I guess it would be unmanly to refuse.

Tony Danza and Tony Soprano

Both will try to guide your life like an angel and a devil so you’ll have to choose carefully 😃

Who could forget the coaching tandem of Mike and D’Antoni.

Man see why do you guys always have to go to conspiracies 

Outcomes like the Lakers and Warriors being successful since they’re the biggest markets right? Those teams both had big playoff runs and certainly had a bunch of help from the refs to extend the series or get them into the playoffs to start with, right?

You just have to explain to me how the NBA, controlling outcomes, put the Spurs and Thunder in the conference finals. Didn’t extend any of the Thunder series up until now either even though that’s basically free money for them.

But how would a robot be able to determine fouls and what not? I can see a system being useful for like the ball being deflected out of bounds

But the NBA won’t let that happen cause then they won’t be able to control outcoms

VAR shows refs have broad latitude to shape outcomes even with replays lol

It’s the equivalent of a parent who lets their kids eat candy for dinner. The kid’s gonna love it, but it’s a sign of a shitty parent.

’ve replaces have, not of. thats why you havent seen this before, bc its wrong

downvoted for knowing english feelsbad

I do think he has vision problem. That over and back last night on Castle that he was like 2 or 3 feet away from was wrong. If you count that and his defensiveness over missing the Finch timeout, seems like a man who knows his visual acuity is fading.

Yeah, maybe if the rulebook was like super detailed and accounted for every single possible situation, there could be more consistency. But basketball rules are quite vaguely written and it leads to different officiating

They don’t rely on subjective interpretation whatsoever.

That it happens is just an aspect of human imperfection.

The goal is still to have consistency.

But that’s not black and white, which means my brain won’t understand it!

That’s just how rules are enforced.

No matter the system. Laws are the same

dumb point, these are refs who get paid 100s of 1000s a year to officiate these games

i would expect the experts to be consistent

It not our job to know the rules, so it makes sense when two joe smokes argue about sports, as both together might know half the rulebook

1. I only really see people accuse refs of favoring one team over the other and often to extend series for the NBA revenue and not typically holding grudges against specific players.

2. the only exception to that I can recall is people accusing Scott foster once again of holding a grudge against Chris Paul. Even fans of other teams noticed odd calls against Chris Paul especially his quick double tech ejection. That one even led to a meeting with the league office so he has a track record. Then Rudy did the money sign and has been doomed ever since

You absolutely watch no sports. Jesus. How can you think this?

Baseball umps, all over the place. Only 2 pitch challenges.

Football, you’re joking right? There’s so many things that don’t get called every game it’s hard to count. Holding is just called when the refs decide randomly. PI? What is a catch? Who knows? Nobody knows, but let’s find out!

Soccer. Man every ref is so wildly different and games especially tournament or finals matches are reffed entirely differently.

You really believe this? The inconsistency of PI calls and Roughing the passer calls is pretty notorious in the NFL. We just don’t know the reffing crew by name like we do in the NBA. In baseball each umpire calls balls and strikes differently and pretty much everyone knows it. It’s impossible to remove the human element from humanity.

soccer absolutely does not have it under control

Soccer absolutely does not. VAR somehow made it even worse

Man have you watched a hockey game lately? They miss calls all the time and a penalty is a way bigger deal in hockey compared to free throws in a basketball game.

If you look at the clip of that hair pull closely you will see that the refs eyes are hyper focused on the ball and not the players. He was completely tunnel visioned on the ball. Take a look at the replay again. I honestly don’t even think he noticed the contact.

Your edit is still wrong tho

My fucking sides. This might be the funniest joke I’ve seen this month.
